most delightful dwarf evergreen peren¬

We are fortunate enough to secure 
exclusive sale of the seed from Sydney 
B. Mitchell’s own garden. His stock 
was obtained from John Nichols of 
Scotland, and W. M. Christy of Eng¬ 
land, who, between them, raised most 
of the named forms given awards at 
the R. H. S. trial gardens at Wisley, 
England. In mixed colors.pkt. 35c

One customer testifies, “All the Seeds 
I have had from you have been of super 
quality and have given excellent results.” 
Another says, “I have had such excep¬ 
tionally good results from the seeds you 
sent me”; and still a third says, “I am 
a firm believer in your slogan — anything 
I buy from Salbach is good.” 
ICELAND POPPIES {Nudicaule) . You 
who are in the habit of visiting the 
beautiful Santa Maria Inn half-way be¬ 
tween San Francisco and Los Angeles 
are no doubt familiar with the remark¬ 
able strains of these most effective cut- 
flowers developed by Frank J. McCoy, 
manager of the Inn. Mr. McCoy has 
built an international reputation for 
the Inn by filling it with exquisitely 
arranged bouquets of the most gor¬ 
geous flowers obtainable. Most of these 
blooms he grows himself, and Iceland 
Poppies have been his particular hobby. 
He has scoured the world for seeds and 
has selected and re-selected until he 
has developed a strain that is unques¬ 
tionably the finest in America and prob¬ 
ably unexcelled anywhere. 
Iceland Poppies, like gladiolus, may 
be planted in succession. Bloom ap¬ 
proximately three months from the 
time they are planted. They are most 
hardy for early blooms, as they stand 
frost even when other plants wither 
and blacken. Very floriferous with 
long stems, most excellent cut-flowers. 
At their best sown either where 
they will flower or in boxes and trans¬ 
planted when young. 
Apricot. Probably the most beauti¬ 
ful colored individual variety of all 
Iceland Poppies — delicate apricot. 
Flowers of good size with long stems. 
Not a Frank J. McCoy re-selection, but 
nevertheless the most attractive new 
Iceland Poppy we know of.

selections) . A new strain of Iceland

“ready” — having large flowers, of 
consistent semi-double habit, and good 
color.

low.pkt. 10c; 3 pkts. 20c; oz. 40c

NASTURTIUM, Dwarf Double Type.

dry, hot climates require much water¬

much under such circumstances.
