SALPIGLOSSIS, New Base-Branching 
Mixture. No longer does this popular 
flower suffer from its too-long-legged 
appearance, for the new mixture has 
remedied this fault. The plants grow 
to an ideal height of. about two and 
one-half feet, and the colors in¬ 
clude the full range, with plenty of 
rich velvety colors.

STOCK, Giants of California. An out¬ 
standing new strain that gives clearer 
colors, a greater percentage (80%) of 
doubles. Obtained from hybridizing 
and selection from the famous white 
stock, Santa Maria, which was the first 
vai’iety of this new type. In addition, 
these stocks serve a double purpose — 
for the crown or center spike is com¬ 
parable to the lone spike of a column 
stock. When this is cut, however (be 
sure to cut it), the plant then branches, 
and gives many, many more long stems 
filled with its typically large florets. 
The Giants can also be used most ef¬ 
fectively for winter flowering.

THALICTRUM DIPTEROCARPUM 
(Meadowrue). P. Tall graceful per¬ 
ennial that freely produces its lacy 
sprays, each of which is covered with 
a myriad of diminutive lilac flowers. 
Especially desirable in gardens where 
a natural effect is desired and a grace¬ 
ful filler for cut-flower arrangements.

among Verbenas in a beautiful color 
range that shades from light apple- 
blossom, through pink to rose pink. 
Individual florets are so big that the 
flower heads might be taken for Phlox. 
Long stemmed, with semi-trailing 
habit. Most outstanding, having re¬ 
ceived special mention in the 1937 All- 
American selections.

VISCARIA, Mixed. An unusually fine

lish wholesale seed growers. Striking, 
bright range of colors.

ZINNIA, Crown O’ Gold Type. A very 
recent development. Most unusual, in 
brilliant color range, and with flowers 
almost as big as the dahlia flowered 
type. Strikingly effective as cut-flow¬ 
ers because of the unique “crown”, 
which comes from the secondary color 
of the center petals, which is always 
in the same general color range as 
the first, but of a much yellower cast— 
just as if pigments of yellow had been 
added.

It Is Perfect 
“My delphinium plants from your seed 
have just started to bloom, and they are 
wonderful — far ahead of anything I 
have ever grown . . . There is one (white) 
has bloomed, and it is perfect. I would 
not sell that one for any amount.”—
