^^Flower Seeds for Florists** 
IX c. 
AMERICAN BRANCHING—Continued 
Semple Pink. Choice shell pink; Fine Habit. Tr. pkts. only. 
* White. True branching type; excellent for cutting. Sept. 10 
to 15. 
KING. Attractively pointed or quilled petals give this class real 
distinction. Flowers are harder than most classes or types, 
and for this reason they do not spot or bruise so easily. The 
Kings are largely used for shipping from California to Eastern 
markets. 
Crimson. Bright crimson, strictly upright habit. Sept. 10 to 15. 
Peach Blossom. Delicate rose deepening to bright pink. Up¬ 
right growth. Sept. 10 to 15. 
AMERICAN BEAUTY. A valuable and popular class because 
of late flowering, and large, long-stemmed, slightly incurved 
flowers. For northern locations the flowering dates should be 
noted to escape early frosts. However, most Beauties are gen¬ 
erally satisfactory, even in our northern border states. This class 
is largely non-branching. 
* Azure Fairy. Trifle darker than Branching Azure; large flow¬ 
ered and excellent for cutting. Sept. 20 to 25. 
Crimson. Long-stemmed, good crimson color. Sept. 15 to 20. 
Deep Rose. Finest rich deep rose. Sept. 15 to 20. 
Purple. Long-stemmed large purple. Sept. 15 to 20. 
Purple Prince. Bright marine purple. An excellent variety. 
Sept. 15 to 20. 
Shell-Pink (September Beauty). Delicate pink, trifle lighter 
than Semple. Fair size, long stem. Sept. 25 to Oct. 1. 
Silvery Rose. Pleasing light rose pink; fine non-lateral Ameri¬ 
can Beauty habit. Tr. pkts. only. 
* White. Long-stemmed excellent white. Sept. 20 to 25. 
ANEMONE OR CRESTED. We group here the new anemone 
varieties. Tlie list of colors is not yet at all complete but is being 
worked on. A very attractive anemone or cushioned type, but we 
do not find it resistant to rot. 
Giant Harmony Moonlight. Fine new deep blue in the anemone 
group. Our trials of the past summer show it highly resistant 
and of excellent cut flower habit. 
Giant Harmony Mixture (New). A complete mixture of the 
very attractive new anemone type; choice for cutting and ship¬ 
ping but not dependably resistant in our trials. Tr. pkt., 35c; 
14 oz., 75c; 1 oz., $2.50. 
Aurora Golden Sheaf. Fully doubled anemone type; center 
cushion petals quilled, outer petals broad and flat. Creamy yel¬ 
low, large, long stemmed, highly resistant, valuable for market. 
Sept. 15 to 20. Tr. pkt., 30c; 14 oz., 50c; 1 oz., $1.75. 
CALIFORNIA GIANTS. An extra large interlaced attractive 
type of flower for cutting, but not so suitable for long shipping. 
Extra long strictly non-lateral stems add to their value. Early 
Giant Light Blue in this class, will be found among the 12 Best. 
Dark Purple. Rich purple and highly resistant. Sept. 25 to 
Oct. 1. Tr. pkt., 35c; 14 oz., 75c; 1 oz., $2.50. 
Early Giant Peach Blossom. Same as Early Giant Light Blue 
featured in 12 best list, but a pleasing light pink. Tr. pkt., 35c; 
14 oz., 75c; 1 oz., $2.50. 
*Early Giant Rose Marie. Has the same early flowering habit, 
size and non-lateral habit of Early Giant Light Blue. We find it 
exceptionally resistant and of a pleasing shade of medium rose 
pink. Tr. pkt., 30c; 14 oz., 85c; 1 oz., $3.00.

RESISTANT MIXTURES—Continued 
All Varieties Mixed. This is a mixture of all the above double 
varieties including the 12 Best Rot-Resistant varieties. Largely 
used for growing plants to sell from flats to home gardeners. 
This resistant mixture should be used because of reduced loss 
in young plants from rotting. Tr. pkt., 20c; 14 oz., 30c; 1 oz., 
$1.00; 1 lb., $12.00; 4 ozs. at lb. rate. 
SINGLE VARIETIES (Ball). In addition to the Single South- 
cote Beauty type, that is not resistant to rot, we offer a number 
of colors and mixture of a strong growing, single branching type. 
This strain has been developed by us and will be found excep¬ 
tionally rot resistant. The flowers are freely produced, extra 
long-stemmed, and attractive for any cut flower work. Mid- 
Sept. 
*Deep Rose. Strong deep rose-pink. Excellent. 
*Light Blue. Medium shade of blue. 
While. Clear white; extra free growth. 
Mixed. The three colors mixed. 
Prices on Single Asters: Tr. pkt., 30c; 14 oz., 50c; 1 oz., $1.75. 
Regular American Asters 
Not Rot-Resistant 
We are very certain that the rot-resistant strains are well worth 
their slightly added cost. For this reason we no longer offer regular 
varieties that are available in resistant form. 
Imbricated Pompons 
Unfortunately this choice class produces seed sparingly, par¬ 
ticularly under California conditions. In Europe they do better. 
Should we succeed in getting any of this seed thru we will 
notify you thru all our trade paper advertisements.

Cause of most rotting out in asters is checking or weakening growth, especially in early stage.
