Novelties and Specialties in Flower Seeds 
Aster, Wilt^Resistant Early Giant Balsam, Double Busb Flowered,Torch 
Rose Marie 
Rose Marie is a rich, lively shade of rose which is probably the 
most popular color in Asters. The flowers are full-petaled, with 
broad, graceful petals, daintly plumed and intertwined, very large, 
4 to 5 inches in diameter, and similar to the Giants of Oalifornia 
blooms. The plants, however, differ considerably, since they are 
only to 2 feet tall with branches coming low on the central spike 
and only 6 to 8 flowers are produced on each plant. Packet 35c. 
Ageratum, Midget Blue 
There is a real satisfaction in being able to offer a very fine dwarf (2 to 3 inches 
high) Ageratum, with delicate fine foliage, which is practically smothered with 
small, true Ageratum blue flowers. This is really the first dwarf Ageratum we have 
found that will come uniformly dwarf and true to color from seed. Packet 50c. 
Ageratum, Fairy Pink 
Ageratum Fairy Pink is a dwarf, compact Ageratum of a delightful soft salmon 
rose pink color. It begins blooming when not more than 1)^ to 2 inches high and 
continues to grow until it has formed a solid, compact mass of blooms. Its maxi¬ 
mum height when it is in full bloom is not greater than 5 inches. Packet 50c. 
Bush-flowered Balsams are not at all well known in this country. 
Unlike the taller growing Balsams, the flowers in the little bush-flow¬ 
ered type are carried at the tips of the stems, making a show of color 
rather than foliage. The variety Torch, penetrating vermilion-red 
in color, grows 8 to 10 inches high. This little annual makes an excel¬ 
lent edging plant. Packet 35c., oz. $1,75 
Balsam Double Bush Flowered Tarch 
Celosia, Royal Velvet 
New, early blooming, basal-branching Cockscomb type; extra large cen¬ 
ter head of rich niby red with velvety texture surrounded by numerous, erect 
branches mounted with medium-sized combs; foliage of bronzy green with 
reddish margins. Plants are about 2 feet high, very uniform and symmetrical 
in growth with fixed uniform color. The long-stemmed branches are excellent 
for cutting. Being easily grown and blooming from early Summer until frost, 
it is ideal for garden use in massing or bordering effects. If center head is 
not desired, pinch out when plant is young. Packet 25c. 
Campanula, Collina bell?oI^ 
A very early and free-flowering Bellflower for borders and rock gardens. 
The plants are about 8 inches in height and produce a mass of shining, deep 
violet flowers in May and June. Perennial. 
Seed: Packet 50c. Plants: 3 for $1.50, 10 for $4.50 
Chrysanthemums, Hardy Garden 
Korean Hybrids 
These single perennial Chrysanthemums produce a lavish profusion of 
colorful blooms just at a time when other plants are beginning to fail. The 
bushy plants are hardy, easy to grow, and if sown early will bloom in late Fall 
of same year as sown. Range of colors is most impressive. Packet $1.50 
Aster Rose Marie 
Alyssum Maritimum Nanum, Violet Queen 
The white-flowering Sweet Alyssum has long been an indispensable garden favorite, 
more expecially the dwarf, compact forms, which are of such charming effect as edgings 
in the make-up of Summer borders. From the original white form some colored varieties 
have been developed, but none of a very decided shade. The flowers of our new variety, 
however, have a character peculiarly their own being of a very pretty bright violet tint, 
and we have no doubt that Violet Queen will be found of much value as a pleasant 
alternative to the old favorite white-flowering varieties. Packet 35c. 
New Antirrhinum, Rust^Resistant, Large 
Flowered Giant, Golden Rod 
The most rugged and most rust-resistant of all Snapdragons. Plants are base 
branching, 26 inches tall. Flowers are bright golden yellow, edges of which are delicately 
waved. On account of its stmdy growth, this variety makes an excellent cut flower. 
Packet 25c. 
New Antirrhinum, Rust^Resistant Large 
Flowered Giant, Rosalie 
It is a rich deep rose with an underlying tone of topaz or amber, giving it a richness 
which makes it stand out conspicuously among all other colors. The tube and lip are 
the same color, which greatly intensifies the depth and richness of color. The plants are 
base branching and produce from 6 to 8 huge, long flowering spikes on which the florets 
are decidedly well arranged. Packet 50c.
