SCHLING’S GIANT 
EXHIBITION 
DAHLIAS 
From Seed 
We have been very fortunate 
in obtaining the seed stocks of 
one of the famous Dahlia breed- 
ers in the United States who 
has introduced Gold Medal 
.Dahlias for a great many years 
Sand has the distinction of in- 
troducing the famous Dahlia 
pictured on page 49, “Lynn 
Fontanne.”’ 


This seed stock is the result 
of selective cross hybridization 
and contains within this selec- 
tion the same strain that has 
produced the splendid prize winning originations of this Dahlia Hy- 
bridizer. It is very reasonable to assume that the purchaser of this 
seed will find varieties that are entirely new to the Dahlia world and 
the selection may contain many prize winning varieties. 
Trying some of this seed is not a gamble, for every plant will 
produce true prize winning Decorative Dahlia blooms. Price: Pkt., 
$1.00; 6 pkts., $5.00. 
GLORY OF THE RIVIERA CARNATIONS 
A Superb New Strain cf the Famous Fragrant Garden 
Carnation cf Southern France 
Real Carnations, but little smaller than those grown by florists 
and much sweeter, for the fragrance is as remarkable as is the form 
of the flowers and their even perfection in color. No split calyces 
here, and the long stems invite liberal cutting of the blooms for 
indoor use. 
The Collection of six varieties will give high satisfaction, per- 
mitting the cutting of literally armfuls of sweet and exquisite flowers 
for many long weeks. The culture is easy: Sow early, prick out the 
seedlings into a ‘‘flat’’ or into small pots, plant out at convenience. 
Beauty of Nice. An exquisite Mentone. Scarlet. 
shade of rose-pink. Monaco. Dark velvety crimson.

ANNUAL WILD GARDEN MIXTURE 

It is our wish that we would have sufficient space 
to list all of the testimonials that we have received 
in praise of this marvelous seed value. We have 
received reports from all sections of the country extoll- 
ing the beauty and practical results obtained from 
sowing this mixture. Carefully blended to strike a 
perfect balance between the showy bright annuals and 
those of more subduel tendencies, the result provides a 
bold effect where required and a vista of real beauty 
covering large areas where it would be impossible 
to intensely cultivate a garden. Left to themselves, 
the vigorous hardy annuals in this mixture self-sow 
and it can be safely said that a wild garden pro- 
duced from this seed will be more or less permanent.
