"'Flower Seeds for Florists” 
We have used particular care in selecting the special 
items under this heading, and we know it will pay you to 
go over it in the same way. While not all these varieties 
may fit your needs or conditions, we repeat it will pay 
you to go over the list with care, 
Ageratiim “Midget Blue” 
This new variety and Blue Ball 
are the most uniform in habit 
of all varieties from seed. Mid¬ 
get Blue is the most dwarf 3-4 
inch also smaller flowered than 
Blue Ball and of nicely rounded 
habit. 
Tr. Pkt. 35c; 14 oz., 
1 oz. $4.75. 
Alyssiim “Violet Queen” 
The fairly deep violet color of 
this new one is well retained 
thruout the heat of summer, 
height 5-6 inches. This should 
entirely replace Lilac Queen 
that loses most of its color dur¬ 
ing mid-summer. 
Tr. Pkt. 35c; i/4 oz. 75c; 1 oz. 
$2.60. 
Aster Queen of the 
Market Deep Rose 
Under California conditions 
and in our trials of the past sea¬ 
son this new strain is quite 
highly resistant to rot. The color is fairly deep and it is 
of typical Queen of the Market habit. 
Tr. Pkt. 30c; 14 oz. 50c; 1 oz. $1.75. 
Candytuft Hyacinth Flowered 
Our strain of this is especially selected for our florist 
trade. While we find it impossible to get it uniformly 
4-6 spikes to a plant, a high proportion are of that type. 
A January sowing spaced 6x6, grown cool will flower 
in May. 
Tr. Pkt. 20c; % oz. 40c; 1 oz. 75c; 4 oz. $2.35; 1 lb. 
$7.50, 
Celosia Fiery Feather 
No retail grower should miss this and the variety Golden 
Feather that is identical except in color which is dark 
golden yellow. The habit is highly uniform as shown in 
cut. Highly attractive for edging and the plants in full 
flower can be lifted before frost and potted without losing 
their attractiveness. Also Fiery Feather is valuable to 
grow and flower in 3 inch pots for combinations. 
Tr. Pkt. 25c; 1/8 ^^c; % oz. $2.00. 
Cyiioglossum Firmament 
One of our most outstanding novelties of recent years. 
Earlier flowering and more dwarf (15-20 in.) than the 
well known Blue Bird. A valuable and very satisfactory 
plant to sell from small pots for bedding. 
Tr. Pkt. 25c; 14 oz. 50c; 1 oz. $1.75. 
Delphinium Giant 
Pacific Hybrids 
The finest strain of Hynrids 
available, with the additional 
value of being earlier flowering 
than any other strain we have 
tried. The Giant Pacific Hybrids 
have received wide publicity 
and will be called for in the 
form of young plants by home 
gardeners. Also,—this class, be¬ 
cause of its wonderful range of 
colors, has value for cutting. 
The complete list will be found 
in the perennial pages. 
Gypsophila Multiflora 
Strain of Paris Market 
While markets are occasionally 
oversupplied with annual 
“Gyp,” a great deal of it is 
used. The general preference is 
for the smaller type of flower 
such as you will get in this 
Multiflora Strain. 
1 oz. 20c; 4 oz. 50c; 1 lb. 
$1.60; 5 lbs. $6.00. 
Larkspur Rosalind 
This light salmon shaded rose we find produces extra 
strong long stemmed growth, and the color is a good 
strong one for cutting. One of the best. 
Tr. Pkt. 30c; oz. 60c; 1 oz. $2.00. 
Myosotis Ball’s Early 
Sent out by us a few years ago, this variety fills a want 
for an early flowering strain for either cutting or use as 
a pot plant, for combinations or for bedding. A January 
sowing will flower nicely by Easter. 
Tr. Pkt. 35c; i/4 oz. 85c; 1 oz. $2.85. 
Ball Matricaria 
Most valuable for outdoor summer cutting, because of 
its extra long stemmed growth. Around 75-80% full 
double from seed that should be sown in February for July 
flowering. Seed is sparingly produced. We have a limited 
supply from our most dependable English grower. 
1/2 Tr. Pkt. 30c; Tr. Pkt. 50c; 14 oz. $1.00; y oz. $1.75. 
Pyrethrum Rohiiisoii’s Hybrids 
The extra large flowers and long stems of this English 
strain make it a valuable perennial for cutting. 
Tr. Pkt. 35c; oz. 90c; 1 oz. $3.50. 
Novelties or new varieties are the life of any business.
