T HE red picture at the right is Santa Claus, all loaded with 
hundreds of beautiful presents—presents of beautiful flow' 
ers for you! Each Santa Claus flower is a beauty. They are 
beautiful dark red in color, even prettier than the picture, and 
are beautiful in shape and large in size—usually 2|/2 to 3 inches 
across, sometimes more. A pretty tuft of small petals in the 
center opens up and displays a delightful contrasting shade of gold.

BLOOMS EARLY 
O ANT A CLAUS usually starts blooming some time during Au' 
^ gust and continues until stopped by frost, but it takes a good 
frost to stop Santa Claus. Santa Claus is probably injured less by 
frost than any other flower of its type. Often new blossoms open 
from buds after frost. 
HARDY PERENNIAL 
Some time ago we were shown the 
most amazingly beautiful Gladiolus we 
had ever seen. We wanted it at once, 
especially when told that it was Mrs. 
George Kinyon's origination, and fin¬ 
ally arranged for its purchase just be¬ 
fore our catalog went to press. We 
were too late for a color picture, but 
imagine a Glad twice as beautiful as 
any you ever saw before and you 
will have a faint idea of Seventh 
Heaven's beauty. It is Mrs. Kinyon’s 
masterpiece. See page 10. 
OANTA CLAUS is similar in shape and quantity of blossoms 
^ to Azaleamums and Glorymums but grows somewhat taller 
and is ONE OF THE MOST HARDY OF ALL. In fact, it is 
exceedingly hardy and easy to grow.
