Novelties and Specialties in Flower Seeds 
AQUILEGIA CLEMATIFLORA, MIXED 
This new spurless Aquilegia, which was obtained by a cross 
between Scott Elliott strain and the common single variety, 
we feel will be a useful addition to the varieties now offered. 
This cross has been selected for eight years and the colors 
are all there with the exception of reds and scarlets. It is 
free flowering, having as many as fifteen flowers, measuring 
three inches across, on a plant. Per packet, 75c. 
AQUILEGIA LONGISSIMA 
The spurs on this variety are 5 inches or more in length 
and the effect is at once dainty, unusual and arresting. The 
flowers are of striking formation with deep yellow petals and 
paler yellow sepals. Bright green cut-leaved foliage and red¬ 
dish stems. Per packet, 50c; 5 packets, $2.00. 
RUST-PROOF ANTIRRHINUM MAXIMUM 
With the introduction of rust-proof strain of Antirrhinum

increase and make Antirrhinums one of the most popular 
flowers in America. 2'/2 to 3 ft.

BALSAM, DOUBLE BUSH FLOWERED, TORCH 
Bush flowered Balsams are not at all well known .in this country. 
Unlike the taller growing Balsams, the flowers in the little bush 
flowered type are carried at the tips of the stems, making a show 
of color rather than foliage. The variety Torch, penetrating ver¬ 
milion-red in color, grows 8 to 10 inches high. This little annual 
makes an excellent edging plant. Packet, 50c; oz., $2.00. 
Balsam, Double Bush Flowered, Torch

The range of colors is most impressive. Packet, $1.50.
