HELIOTROPE 
HOLLYHOCKS 
Perhaps no flower is so universally known and 
loved. Although they are at their best in rich 
well drained soil, they seem also to thrive in hot 
dry spots. Since young plants are more vigorous, 
seed of the semi-perennial types should be sown 
each summer. 
3100—Double, Mixed Colors. Semi-perennial. 
A fine mixture of shades of pink, reds, yellow 
and white. Sow the seed in July for bloom 
next summer. 
Pkt. 15¢; Lg. Pkt. 30c; 144. Oz. 75e.

often seen in hollyhocks. Sure to grow and 
thrive almost any place.

LARKSPUR 
There is, perhaps, no annual in which there has 
been such marked improvement in recent years 
as in annual larkspur. Since the seed requires 
cool conditions for germination, sow it just as 
early as possible in the spring. For June bloom 
seed may be sown in early September of the 
previous year. 
Super Majestic Larkspur 
Here is the beginning of a new race of lark- 
spurs. They are an improved Imperial or Base 
Branching type growing 5 feet high with very 
large double flowers set close on the stem. You 
won't know how gorgeous larkspur can be until 
you try these. 
3240—Majestic Variety Mixture. We make this from 
equal amounts of the four colors now availabie in the 
Majestic Larkspurs. 
Pkt. 15c; Lg. Pkt. 25c; 14 Oz. 75c. 
3241—Majestic White. ’ 
3242—Majestic Rose. 
3244—Majestic Deep Salmon Pink. 
3245—Majestic Lavender. 
Above Colors: Pkt. 20c; Lg. Pkt. 30ce; 14 Oz. 85c. 
Base Branching larkspur 
There is no comparison between the old strains of 
3132—Dwarf Regale Mixed. [leliotrope should be 
found in every complete garden. This new variety is 
by far the best one to grow from seed. The plants 
are neat and compact with very large, clear colored 
flower heads in rich shades of heliotrope, lavender 
and purple. Delightfully fragrant. Be sure to plant 
some in your garden this year for garden effects and 
for cut flowers. Pkt. 25c; Lg. Pkt. 50c. 
HONESTY 
(Silver Dollars) 
3178—Lunaria biennis. Biennial. Also called “Money” 
larkspur and these new base branching varieties. The 
plants produce more and longer stems and there is a 
range of clear colors not available before.

of equal amounts of the following seven kinds. 
Pkt. 10c; Lg. Pkt. 20c; 44 Oz. 60c; Oz. $1.75. 
3248—Los Angeles (Improved). A clear soft salmon 
pink.

3252—Carmine King. A glorious carmine-scarlet. The 
brightest larkspur we have ever seen. 
and “Silver Dollars’” because the seed pods are 
round, flat and silvery. Used largely for winter 
bouquets but the showy purple flowers are equally 
attractive in June. A July sowing produces flowers 
and seed pods the following year. 
Pkt. 10c; 144 Oz. 50c. 
3254—Blue Bell. An entirely new shade of medium 
blue. 
3255—Lilac Spire. A lilac or lavender shade surpass-

of color.

“T purchased the Will Rogers Zinnia, No. 8157 from 
you and never had such marvelous blooms in all the twenty 
years I have been raising Zinnias. Neighbors and friends 
thal saw the blooms thought al first that they were dahlias, 
and only the foliage convinced some of them. The largest 
blooms were over 51% inches across and fully 2% inches 
deep tn the center. The color was intense red to velvet red 
and each plant of the 97 plants I raised was exactly alike 
in shade.” : 
3258—Blue Spire. Long spikes of deep velvety blue.

KOCHIA 
(Burning Bush) 
3190—Summer Cypress. This is a new strain 
of the old “‘Burning Bush” which gives the 
effect of a fine bright green two foot evergreen 
hedge until heavy frost. This one does not 
turn red with the first light frost. Useful as a 
temporary foundation planting around a new 
home until a permanent planting of shrubs 
and evergeens can be made.
