MARIGOLD ORANGE SUNSET 
A clear orange Giant, in fact, the largest flowering variety. In 
flower formation or petalage, it is between the carnation flowered 
and the Giant Africans. Fine for large flowered cutting. If sown 
late Jan. and planted out 4 x 5 in. on a raised bed about Feb. 15, 
it will flower early May. Tr. pkt., 35c; oz., 75c; 1 oz., $2.50. 
* Clear White.

finest clear white Delphinium available from seed. Very large, 
clear, white flowers, double and semi-double set on long spikes. 
Forces very well.

PANSY BALL GIANT MIXTURE 
Many growers are turning to a Dec. or Jan. sowing of Pansies for 
spring sales, planting them into flats about 2 in. apart. Much easier 
to sell a flat than to pick out plants from a frame. Our annual 
indoor Pansy trials prove clearly that our Ball Giant Mixture is our 
best all-round mixture for any purpose. Correspondence invited 
from growers wishing supplies of this strain reserved for early de¬ 
livery next season. Tr. pkt., 40c; % oz., $3.00; 1 oz., $5.50; 4 ozs., 
$ 20 . 00 .

Type of the new Giant Pacific Hybrid 
Delphinium (V. & R.) 
Rust-Resistant type as grown in California 
RUST PROOF SNAPDRAGON ROSALIE 
(New) 
A bronze medal winner in last season’s All America trials. This 
is the first good deep rose rust proof variety to be offered. We had 
a 50-plant line of this in our last summer’s outdoor trials. This 
enables us to recommend Rosalie without reservation for summer 
cutting. Not only did it remain clean of rust, but the color was 
excellent. It produced 4% rogue colors. See page 17 for further 
description. Tr. pkt., 50c; Yi& oz., 85c; Ys oz., $1.50; % oz., $2.75; 
1 oz., $9.00. 
EARLY RUSTPROOF SNAPDRAGON 
DAYBREAK 
During the spring of ’38, we grew a bench of the regular stock 
of Daybreak in one of our cold houses. It rusted out completely 
except one plant that remained clean. The stock from it has con¬ 
tinued to do so. A row in our outdoor trial ground the past season 
was nearly 100% clean alongside others that rusted out com¬ 
pletely. We recommend this strain of light rose pink Daybreak 
for outside cutting as well as under glass. % tr. pkt., 60c; tr. pkt., 
$1.00; 3 pkts., $2.50; 5 pkts., $3.50; 7 pkts., $4.55.
