ROBERT NICHOLSON SEED CO. 
NICHOLSON’S Woveltwes and 
Flowers are very influential and play so many important roles in our daily lives that 
we cannot plant enough of them. Most every gardener, although he never misses planting 
his old favorites, is nevertheless always on the lookout for something new and different 
to complement the flower-garden. Some of the varieties listed on these two pages are 
the “latest in flowers,”’ any or all worthy of a place in your flower-garden. 
Ageratum 
1781—MIDGET BLUE. After many years of 
diligent selection there is real satisfaction in 
being able to offer a very fine dwarf Ageratum, 
2 to 3 inches high. Midget Blue has delicate, 
fine foliage, which is practically smothered 
with small true Ageratum Blue flowers. It is 
the first dwarf Ageratum that we have found 
that is uniformly dwarf and true to color from 
seed. Awarded a Silver Medal in the All-Amer- 
ica selections. Packet, 25c; 5 packets, $1.00, 
postpaid. 
Balsam 
1411—BUSH BALSAM. These are somewhat 
different from ordinary balsams in that the 
flowers are borne on the end of the stalk and 
branches, instead of being hidden by the 
leaves. Like other balsams, they are very easy 
to grow. Mixed colors. Packet, 20c; 3 packets, 
50c, postpaid, 
Browallia 
1833—An attractive free flowering bedding 
plant; grows about 1% feet tall, with flowers 
of intense blue coloring and shaped like a 
Petunia. Blooms in the summer. Packet, lSc; 2 
packets, 25c, postpaid. 
California Poppy 
1770—RAMONA HYBRIDS MIXED. This 
Poppy is a compact and erect strain of Esch- 
scholtzia with flowers beautifully frilled and 
incurved, giving it the appearance of a semi- 
double. A very distinct and attractive type and 
one of the easiest annuals to grow. Packet, 15c; 
2 packets, 25c, postpaid. 
Calendula 
1767—ORANGE FANTASY. This is one of the 
newer types of Calendula, and very beautiful. 
The first few rows of petals on the outside are 
long and beautifully twisted, while the inner 
petals are short and fantastically interlaced, 
piling up on top of each other so as to form a 
heavy crest which surrounds a large, attractive 
mahogany brown center. The flowers grow up 
to four inches across and are fully open at all 
times, while other Calendulas close in the late 
afternoons and evenings. Plants grow 15 inches 
tall, are very bushy and symmetrical, bearing 
flowers well above the heavy foliage. Winner 
of the Silver Medal in the All-America selec- 
tions for 1938. Packet, 15c; 2 packets, 25c, post- 
paid. 
Centaurea 
1782—-CENTAUREA, Cyanus, Double Blue 
Boy. The best of the dark blues and fully dou- 
ble. This charming blue flower and especially 
this particular variety is excellent for cut 
flowers and makes a combination of depth in 
color when used with other blossoms of lighter 
shades. We do not hesitate to recommend Blue 
Boy. You will like it. Packet, 15c, postpaid.

Cynoglossum 
1779—CYNOGLOSSUM, DWARF FIRMAMENT.

Not that is adapted to growing in the South 
and will bloom throughout the summer. Packet, 
15c; 2 packets, 25c, postpaid.
