RUSSELL LUPINS 
This new strain of perennial 
Lupins has caused a sensation in 
horticultural circles. The long, 
closely furnished spikes come in a 
great variety of rich colors—deep 
yellows, oranges, reds, and brilliant 
bicolors never before seen in Lupins. 
The florets are large, with flat, fan¬ 
like standards, and most of the 
spikes retain their florets the whole 
period of development. We offer 
seed grown from the originator’s 
stock. Pkt. 25c.; 75c. per large pkt. 
MARIGOLD, NEW 
SUNRISE 
An early-blooming form of Dixie 
Sunshine. The flowers are large and 
ball shaped, composed of dozens of 
tiny petals gracefully interlocked, 
and daintily fringed in effect. The 
color is a rich brilliant golden yellow 
and most important is the fact that New Sunrise comes 100 per cent true. The plants 
are tall, bushy, heavily covered with flowers, and remain in flower throughout the 
season. See color illustration on front cover. Pkt. 25c.; 75c. per large pkt. 
MARIGOLD, GIGANTEA, NEW ORANGE SUNSET 
An outstanding variety. New Orange Sunset is one of the foremost Marigolds of the 
year. The flowers average 5 inches or more in diameter and are unquestionably the 
largest Marigolds to date. The color is a deep, rich, lively orange. The flowers arc 
very full, centered with broad, heavy, wavy petals which gracefully overlap to make 
the flower ideal not only for garden decoration but for cut-flower use as well. Pkt.
