SEE CIALTIES... 
CHOICE PLANTS EXCEPTIONALLY FINE, LARGE FLOWERING 
Not much need be said about our Giant Pansies as they sell themselves on sight in the 
Spring. To those who cannot come out to enjoy their loveliness and yes, sometimes even do 
their own digging, we just want to mention that all our Pansies are grown from Originator’s seed. 
Out of continuous trials we have selected some few varieties as most suitable for this 
area. They are the very best kinds from three of the finest sources of seed growers. Consisting 
of Steele’s Mastodon Jumbos Mixed, Steele’s Super Swiss ‘’400’’ Mixed, Vaughan‘s Super Swiss 
Giants Mixed and Clarke’s Hybrid Blend, we have combined and named them:

Hardy Lilies 
“STATELY” was the word for Lilies, but now we are inclined to call them “INTRIGUING.” 
With so many dazzling new varieties introduced, we just went overboard and came up with 
more and better hardy lilies than ever before. They certainly do something for your garden. 
So don’t miss description on page 9. 
African Violets SAINT PAULIA 
We were devoting more and more time to the culture of these lovely plants with the result 
that these shy little Violets seem to be taking over our place. We are proud and grateful for 
the continued interest shown by our friends and Violet lovers which spurs us on to always be 
on the lookout for the latest, best and rarest. 
It is a great pleasure, therefore, to now introduce some of our own: 
BEHNKE BOY: Giant sized light blue wide spread blossoms borne in clusters on long erect 
stems. Foliage large round beautifully crested, and quilted. 
FANTASY: Blossoms light lavender, rayed, splashed and dotted with deep purple. Pointed Blue 
Bird foliage. 
LADY CONSTANCE: Extremely large deep purple blossoms. Could be called ‘Purple Prince 
Supreme.” : 
RED PRINCE: Reddish-pink blossoms. Unusually compact light green quilted foliage. 
We hope to have some of these to sell by Autumn. See Page 18 and 19.
