HOLMES’ NOVELTIES and SPECIALTIES 
Westwood Beauty DIANTHUS 
All-America Award 
1525. This new early Dianthus is the result of a cross between the large 
open flowers of Heddewigi and the long stems of Chinensis. Flowers are 
single, deeply laciniated and are in red shades of fiery crimson to a deep 
velvety red, some having attractive white edges, measuring 114 to 214 
inches across. It is more resistant to heat than the ordinary Dianthus. 
We believe this fine new Dianthus will become a wonderful garden fa’ 
vorite. Height 16 inches. Pkt., 25c. 
Royal Purple ZINNIA 
2353. All-America Selections. New color in the Giant Dahlia-Flowered 
class, the flowers growing 5 inches across, and of a deep, rich, royal purple 
shade without any hint of blue. The heavy substance of the petals assures 
good lasting qualities, so the flowers are in high demand for cutting. Plants 
grow about 3 feet tall and are very free blooming. Pkt., 10c; %4 oz., 50c. 
Crown of Gold ZINNIA 
2385. Pastel Mixture. The colors are not only distinctly different, but 
very pretty. The light colors are overlaid with a deeper tone, giving the 
“two-tone” effect. No harsh colors, ‘pastel’ shades. Flowers giant size, 
full double. Pkt., 15c; 18 0z., 35c; 44 0z., 65c. 
Golden Veined SALPIGLOSSIS 
2110. Large-Flowered Mixed. Large improved strain. One of the easiest 
annuals to grow, is prized in the gar- 
den wherever grown. It is rich in 
deep color tones with veins of gold 
marking every petal. Sow in full sun 
in fairly rich soil. Do not over-water.

mum~-like, clear golden yellow flowers, 
214 inches across, on 2-ft. vigorous

soil and weather have become warm.
