Marigold, Dwarf Harmony Hybrids, Mixed 
1037. DOUBLE HARMONY HYBRIDS, MIXED. H. A. For 
several years Marigold Harmony has been a very popular, all 
around garden and cut flower. It always comes practically 
100 per cent true from seed which has made it quite difficult for the plant breeders 
to obtain new colors. It is a pleasure to be able to offer this beautiful flower in a 
mixed combination of colors. These compact plants are from 12 to 14 inches in 
height, 100 per cent double, and flowering commences about two and one-half months 
after seed is sown. The flowers are of medium size, rather large for the French type, 
averaging 134 inches in diameter. They do not have the strong Marigold odor. The 
color range includes the popular Harmony, a lovely golden-orange shade, distinct 
golden-yellow, and innumerable blotched and striped combinations of golden-orange 
with maroon and various shades of gold and lemon-yellow with contrasting dark 
maroon. Flowers have the familiar crested center flanked with several rows of broad 
dark petals. Pkt., 10c; 2 pkts., 15c. 
1076. ENGELMANN’S GIANTS. H. H. P. 
Of all the strains of Pansies on the mar- 
ket today, we believe that Mr. Carl Engel- 
mann of England has produced the very 
finest strain of all. Mr. Engelmann has 
won outstanding awards and medals at the 
great spring show at Chelsea each year 
on his strains of Pansies. The seed that 
we offer is imported from the originator. 
This strain is a very vigorous growing, 
compact and early flowering type, and 
contains a great variety of shades both 
dark and light, all of the blotched type 
with very huge, well formed blossoms. The 
blend of colors is too difficult to describe 
in words and we refer you to the illustra- 
tion shown below. We highly recommend 
this strain of Pansies. Start seed indoors 
in flats early in February for early spring 
blooms. Pkt., 35c; 2 pkts., 60Oc. 

Poppy, Nudicaule, Gartford 
Giant Art Shades 
1129. GARTFORD GIANT ART SHADES. 
H. P. The Nudicaule or Iceland Poppies 
are extremely interesting Poppies. The 
lack of popularity in this strain of Poppy 
the past years was due to the lack of at- 
tractive colors, This new Art Shades mix- 
ture is an excellent strain with exception- 
ally fine large flowers, beautifully fluted 
and soft textured carried on extremely 
long, heavy wiry stems up to 30 inches 
in length which are produced in quantity 
on each plant. They bloom early in the 
spring and are excellent for cutting when 
properly treated. The ends of the stems 
should be burned or dipped in hot water 
and they will last for several days. The 
color range in this mixture includes lovely 
pastel shades of apricot, cream, gold, pink, 
white and various shades of rose. Sway- 
ing on their long wiry stems, they are a 
beautiful sight in the spring garden. Pkt., 
15c; 2 pkts., 25c.

which will come practically true to form and color from seed. The plants are very 
dwarf, not over two to three inches in height and smothered with small true Agera- 
The foliage is delicate and fine. Pkt., 25c; 2 pkts., 45c. 

Petunia, Supreme California Giants 
1100. SUPREME CALIFORNIA GIANTS, MIXED. H. A. For size and out- 
standing color, this strain of Petunia is supreme. 
The flowers are in shades of 
pink, rose, and salmon-rose; all with light richly veined throats and many of 
them striped and combining two or 
more rose shades in one bloom. 
The blooms are unbelievably large, 
five to seven inches in diameter, 
with shallow open throats. sur- 
rounded by satiny petals which 
are so heavily ruffled that in the 
young flowers they are easily mis- 
taken for doubles. As the flower 
fully matures, the petals fold back 
in a wider radius leaving the beau- 
tiful veined throat. exposed. Flow- 
ers are freely produced on 11/2 to 
2-foot plants. Flowers begin when 
the plants are only five to six 
inches tall. Especially fine for pots 
or window boxes. Start seed in 
flats or window boxes. Pkt., 25c; 
2 pkts., 45c.
