Notes on Finest Annual Specialties and Novelties 
A real MINIATURE AGERATUM, in a new color 49-Silver 
Star by name—A dwarf plant 4 in. tall and covered with silvery 
grey star-shaped flowers. Pkt. 25c; 3 for 65c. Ageratums are 
easily grown from seed—may be sown where they are to bloom 
or started indoors in March and set out in May. Plants will 
bloom from early Summer until August or later, then the smal- 
lest plants may be potted in 2 in. pots, cut back severely, and 
ata’ becoming well started, brought into the house for winter 
oom. 
FINE DAHLIAS ARE EASILY RAISED FROM SEEDS 
They may be planted indoors in March or April and trans- 
planted: or sown outdoors after danger of frost is past. They 
will bloom and form tubers the first season and then should 
be handled just as Dahlia tubers bought as named varieties. 
Because Dahlias are naturally variable, you may often get a 
new variety from seed. We offer seed saved by a real specialist = 
in Holland from his fine. collection of 653-Finest Decorative Double Dimorphotheca 
Dahlias. Pkt. 25c. 
Be DIMORPHOTHECA. Cape Marigold or African 
Daisy. They like a warm sunny location. and 
should be sown in boxes in March or April for 
long growing season. Dimorphotheca will flow- _ 
er from early summer until frost and makes a — 
fine border plant. An unusual development in 
this fine plant has come to us thru the pains- 
taking hybridization and selection work of Mr. 
Wm. Macdonald in California. Pictured above is 
776-Double Flowering African Daisy. Pkt. 10c; 
Giant Pkt. 25c. 
SALVIA. The Red Sage is a fine border plant, but 
of so vivid a red that it should be against a back- 
ground of green because it does not harmonize 
readily. Dwarf Salvia 1808-Sluis Bros. Primus is 
the finest for low borders—earliest of all and 
brightest of all. Pkt. 25c. 
SALVIA PATENS, page 39, will harmonize readily 
with other flowers. 1820-Blue, 1819-White, and a 
new one 1821-Mauve Queen which is a striking 
deep mauve color and comes only in 25c pkts. 
Any average sunny garden position suits them. |

718—DIANTHUS HEDDONSIS WESTWOOD BEAU- 
TY, ha. Free, early, and continuous flowering 
annual of easiest culture. The rich colors, from 
fiery crimson to deep velvety red, long wiry 
stems, large 2 in. deeply fringed flowers on 12 in. 
plants will give it high place in American gar- 
dens. Pkt.10c; Giant Pkt. 25c. 
The TRANSVAAL or Barberton Daisy. (Gerbera). 
Easily raised, but seeds are a little tardy and 
tempermental about germination and patience 
and care are required. Slight heat such as a 
sunny window is needed and seed should be 
planted with fuzzy pointed end just above the 
surface, in sandy peat soil. Two weeks after 
germination occurs the seedlings may be trans- 
ferred to pots and will flower in about 6 months. 
A fine long stemmed variety pearing flowers 2-3 
in. across of beautiful colors is 863-J amesoni 
Hybrids. 15 seeds for 25c. 
1209—LOBELIA GOLDELSE. A beautiful name for 
a fine new development with dark blue flowers 
and golden foliage. Habit dwarf. Pkt. 25c. 
WE ARE FORTUNATE in being able to offer some 
very rare Pansy mixtures this year. These came 
direct from Holland where they are grown by 
Sluis Brothers who have given Pansies their 
special attention for years. Winter Flowering 
Ice Pansies, Curled Double Fringed Mixed, and 
Orchid Flowering Mixed Pansies all are unusual 
and worthy of the finest garden.—See pé. 8-9. 
We are proud to offer the DOUBLE PORTULACA 
or Rose Moss in separate colors again. See pg. 37. 
TORENIA Fourneri. The Wishbone Flower. Re- 
sembling small Gloxinias this quaint and beau- 
tiful flower is of easiest culture. Best results

frost is over. Likes partial shade and regular 
watering. Also fine grown as a greenhouse or 
window garden subject. 2028-Blue. Pkt. 10c; 
Giant Pkt. 25c.
