in herbaceous borders. Height IVi feet. 
STATICE - Sea Lavender 
The Sea Lavenders have become extremely popular, especially for cutting 
for house decoration. The cloudlike masses of flowers of the branching 
varieties make borders gay for a long time, while their delicate coloring 
and light graceful habit are o great help to other everlasting flowers. 
4210. Suworowi Per packet 25c 
An annual Statice, much in demand in London, where it is a prominent 
feature of the florists' shops. Greatly appreciated as a pot plant for the 
greenhouse, as it lasts in perfection for a long time. It also makes a 
charming decoration for the dinner table. Flowers bright rose color. 
Height 18 inches.

cut-flower market. Succeeds admirably under treatment as a half-hardy 
annual. Makes a graceful pot plant for the conservatory, and the dried 
flowers are most effective for winter decoration. Height 18 inches. 
STREPTOCARPUS 
Tender Perennial 
As a result of many years' infensive breeding we have evolved a new 
strain of Strepfocarpus, which will be found as great an advance on the 
old types as the notable improvement we have already achieved in our 
Triumph strains of Cyclamen and Gloxinia. The plants of Sutton's Triumph 
Streptocarpus are extremely floriferous and the blooms, which are borne 
on tall erect stems, are much larger than those produced by the older 
varieties. A further merit is the compact symmetrical habit of the foliage, 
which greatly enhances the decorative value of the plants. 
Although a little warmth is appreciated for germination of the seeds 
and during the seedling stage, this strain will thrive in a lower temperature 
than customary for Streptocarpus, and plants from January or February 
sowings will bloom freely from July to November and, with liberal treat¬ 
ment, during the winter months. If grown in well-drained shallow pans, 
the plants quickly form a dense network of roofs which need regular doses 
of a suitable manure, such as our Simplex Fertilizer. 
4420. Sutton’s Triumph Hybrids Per packet 40c 
Flowers of greaf size. The color range includes the well-known shades of 
red, rose, salmon, purple, blue, and white, as well as many beautiful 
intermediate colors, all with boldly, yet delicately, striped and laced 
throats. 
SUNFLOWER - Helianthus 
Hardy Annual 
Sowings may be mode in the open in April or May where the plants are 
to flower, or seed may be sown very early in the season, and the plants 
brought forward in the manner usual with half-hardy annuals. 
Large-Flowered Varieties 
4430. Sutton’s Giant Yellow Per packet 25c 
Tall Sunflower with immense heads. If a single-stemmed plant with one 
large terminal flower is preferred, it can be ensured by pinching out the 
side shoots if they appear. Height 8 to 10 feet.

Numerous large bright primrose flowers with bold black centers. Height 
6 feet.

4440. Sutton’s New Hybrids Per packet 25c

fused and zoned with bronzy red and rose, and including ruby and maroon 
seifs, these hybrids cannot fail to charm all who grow them. Height 
3 to 6 feet. 
Small-Flowered Variety 
4462. Primrose Stella Per packet 25c 
A beautiful pale primrose variety. The dark center and delicately tinted 
petals make a delightful contrast. Valuable for cutting. Height 4 feet. 
SWEET WILLIAM - Dianthus Barbatus 
French, Oeillet de poete. Hardy biennial. Height about 18 inches. Sweet 
Williams are as important for the garden in the early summer as are 
Antirrhinums and Asters in the later months. The Pink Beauty, Scarlet, 
and Giant White varieties are especially attractive, and make possible at 
a somewhat difficult period of the year brilliant bedding effects on a large 
scale, equal to those obtained with Antirrhinums or Wallflowers. Seed of 
the biennial varieties should be sown in May, June, or July, and the plants 
transferred to blooming quarters in the autumn. 
4518. Sutton’s Superb Mixed Per packet 25c 
Magnificent strain of large-flowered Sweet William, containing many 
attractive shades of salmon, deep pink, cerise, and other charming colors. 
4520. Sutton’s Pink Beauty Per packet 25c 
A beautiful salmon-pink variety, which should be grown in every garden. 
4524. Sutton’s Scarlet Per packet 25c 
A still more remarkable color than our Pink Beauty, from which this 
variety has been selected. The flowers are of an intense scarlet, similar 
to that of Grenadin Carnation. A bed of this Sweet William in the dis¬ 
tance is very striking. 
4527. Sutton’s Giant White Per packet 15c 
Enormous trusses which might well be mistaken for perennial Phlox. The 
individual smooth-edged flowers exceed the size of a florin. 
4529. Sutton’s Giant Auricula-Eyed, Bright Shades Per packet 15c 
A rich mixture; every flower has a clearly defined eye.
