Schizanthus cA) 
Butterfly Flower or Poorman’sOrchid 
Our strains are valuable for pots and decora- 
tion. In the garden sow the seed directly out- 
doors late in spring where the plants are to 
grow, as they do not transplant readily. The 
plants begin blooming in about two months’ 
time. The Schizanthus is a superb cut-flower. 
Arranged in a vase, it resembles sprays of or- 
chids and keeps in splendid condition for a week 
or more.

Early Colonial Branching 
Here for the first time is a tall and really ex- 
clusively branching type of stock. This new 
strain blooms about two weeks earlier than the 
perpetual branching class, and grows to a 
height of two to two and one-half feet. y 
Unlike many strains, the new early Colonial 
does not produce a center spike, and conse- 
quently does not require pinching back to make 
it branch. From the base of each plant eight to 
ten heavy 30-inch branches spread out and 
produce a plant 20 inches in diameter. The 
large florets are formed on spikes 12 to 15 inches 
long

Stock, Gardenia 
3748 This remarkable, new Giant Column Stock 
is indeed the last word in perfection for its 
class. Shimmering glistening white, the flowers 
are the purest snow white of any Stock variety 
yet introduced. Producing only one flower spike 
to a plant, this spike will, however, be of enor- 
mous size, 12 inches to 15 inches of florets and 
nearly 3 feet in length, and 4 or even 41 inches 
in. depth, with individual florets closely and 
compactly placed on the stem. The robust habit 
and uniformity of type, combined with a high 
percentage of doubles, places Gardenia defi- 
nitely in a class by itself. Especially recom- 
mended for greenhouse culture.
