NEW FLOWERS FOR 1940 
DAHLIA Coltness Hybrids Improved. 
A favorite flower with the all-too-few garden- 
lovers who know it, the Coltness strain of medium- 
sized single flowers on dwarf, compact plants is 
certain to become vastly better known with the in¬ 
troduction of this superior selection. Many new 
colors and shades are to be found now, including 
terra cotta, apricot, buff, cream, canary yellow, 
scarlet, crimson, maroon, purple, and pink. Pkt., 25c. 
DELPHINIUM Blue Mirror. 
This is a spurless Chinese Dwarf Larkspur, which 
allow's the rich pure blue flowers to show to strik¬ 
ing advantage. Grows from 1 to 1^/4 feet in height, 
and is lovely in the garden or cut. Very early- 
flowering, yet is a perennial. Pkt., 35c. 
DIMORPHOTHECA Spectabilis (African 
Daisy). 
Closely-related to Dimorphotheca Bcklonis, but with 
deep, orchid-pink petals and a shining black center. 
Similarly, it is a perennial which may be grown 
as an annual, a necessity in cold climates. Although 
attractive for cutting, its greatest use will doubt¬ 
less be for hot, dry garden situations, since it is 
extremely drought-resistant. Pkt., 25c. 
ESCHSCHOLTZIA Sweetheart. 
A new shade in California Poppies. Sweetheart is 
rich salmon-rose on cream, fully-double with fluted 
petals. It is perhaps the best Poppy of all for bed¬ 
ding, since the dwarf 8-inch plants are bushy and 
compact, with erect flower-stems. Pkt., 25c.
