Princess Asters 
GLORIOUS GLEAM NASTURTIUMS 
Double Hybrid Mixed 
1903. Dwarf, Sweet Scented. Beautiful new colors. There are flow- 
ers of solid colors, uniform throughout, and others with showy mark- 
ings of contrasting colors. All are sweetly perfumed, and measure 3 
inches across. Long, stout stems carry the big double or semi-double 
flowers well above the foliage. At almost every flower show, Glorious 
Gleam Hybrids were given the highest award for this unusual flower.

Fiash MARIGOLD 
All-America Award 
1821. Earliest of all Marigolds—blooms in eight 
weeks from seed, continues through the season until 
frost. Never have we seen a Marigold so uniform in 
habit nor one which blooms so profusely as Flash. 
The combination of colors ranges from vivid red 
through bronze. Many of the flowers are tangerine 
at the base which is underlaid with rich red, giving 
it a harmonious effect. The individual flower of 
Flash grows 134 inches or more across and 18 
inches tall. Pkt., 15c; 14 0z., 60c.

Sunset Giant Marigotd 
SUNSET GIANT MARIGOLD 
Gigantea-Flowered 
1813. Finest Mixed. The very largest Marigold yet developed. Flow- 
ers average 3 inches in diameter, while some, which were grown with 
special care, reach a diameter of 8 inches. The flowers have a definite 
sweet scent, which makes it an excellent variety for cut flower or garden 
use. The colors range through the deepest orange shades to light 
shades of golden orange and yellow, and a new shade of primrose. 
Plants are 3!% to 4 feet in height and bloom the latter part of the 
summer. Annual. Pkt., 15c. 
MARIGOLD, Naughty Marietta 
1803. Since its introduction, this lively French 
Marigold is one of the most popular. Plants are 
uniformly 15 inches tall, producing masses of single 
blooms 2 inches across. The warm yellow petals are 
marked at the base with rich mahogany. Popular as 
a cut flower or with other varieties. Pkt., 15c; 
1% oz., 95c. 
Golden Veined SALPIGLOSSIS 
Large-Flowered Emperor Mixed 
2110. Large, improved strain. One of the easiest 
annuals to grow, is prized in the garden 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. Will bloom until frost. 
2 feet. Pkt., 10c; 14 0z., 50c; oz., $1.45. 
ORNAMENTAL GOURDS 
Mixed 
Rapid growing annual climbers with 
ornamental foliage and interesting and 
many years. The ragged appearing flowers are interesting and 
graceful, and quite unlike the stiff, formal Zinnia of our grand- 
mothers’ gardens. The flowers are of medium size, composed 
of a mass of shaggy petals, large enough to give a splash of 
color, but also small enough for graceful arrangement in bou- 
quets. The color ranges from the brightest shades of red, 
yellow, and orange to the soft pastel pinks and cream. An ex- 
quisite Zinnia. Pkt., 10c; 14 oz., 50c. 
odd-shaped fruit. It is becoming very pop- 
ular to use the fruit for table decoration. 
1654. Small Mixed. Pkt., 10c; 14 oz., 
15c; oz., 40c. 
CALENDULA 
Pacific Beauty Mixed (New) 
Resistant to Hot Weather 
1299. Excellent as a cut flower all summer long. Produces 
uniformly large, well-formed flowers with wide, incurved petals 
which cover the center.- Colors are clearer than in older varie- 
ties; stems longer and straighter and the plants stand up well 
in hot weather. For late fall bloom, sow seed in late June. 
Pkt., 25c.
