Winter Harmony (New). (For greenhouse culture.) It is of quilled

each quilled petal. Produces 100% double flowers. 2¥% inches in

CARNATION FLOWERED 
Gigantea Sunset Giants is a Novelty from California; it is said to have 
the largest known flowers in the “Marigold” group, averaging 5 inches 
and some flowers attaining a size of 7¥2 inches across. Instead of the 
usual ‘‘Marigold’’ odor these flowers have a definitely sweet fragrance. 
This is a mixture ranging from deep orange through golden orange, 
deep golden yellow, light yellow, lemon yellow, and a delightful new 
shade of primrose. The strain comes from 60 to 65 per cent double. The 
plants are normally 3¥2 to 4 feet high, but under favorable conditions 
have been known to grow as much as 7 feet high. Excellent for 
cutting. 
Gigantea Orange Sunset. The color is a deep, rich, lively orange, 
one of the most admired shades found in the Sunset Giants Mixture. 
The plants are strong growing, upright branching in habit, usually 
about 3 feet tall, producing a heavy growth of foliage, and with 6 
to 8 heavy branches, each bearing 3 to 6 large flowers. Blooming 
commences about the first of August in most sections of the country, 
in late June in the southern states, and flowers can be depended on 
well before frost in any latitude. Orange Sunset has been tested and 
found to be a fine forcer in the greenhouse, and will come over 65 
per cent double.

Golden Eagle. Very similar in habit, flower size and type to the well 
known Guinea Gold. The color, however, is a rich golden yellow, 
midway between Yellow Supreme and Guinea Gold. If you have 
grown these two, the value of this new color, especially for outdoor 
cutting, can be visualized and appreciated. Tr. Pktowaesostes aeree 15c

Burpee Gold Improved. Odorless foliage. Here is truly a Marigold with 
a host of things to commend it—even, rich, deep orange color, large 
flowers, 3¥%2 inches across, beautiful Carnation-like form, attractive 
habit, uniformity of color and blooming time, full doubleness with no 
singles, earliness, and above all absolute freedom from the usual 
Marigold odor. Flowers somewhat resemble Guinea Gold, being made 
up of loosely arranged rays or petals which are shallowly fluted.
