Larkspur 
1018. LOS ANGELES. H. A. Several years 
ago we introduced to the trade a new strain 
of Double Stock Flowering Larkspur of which 
Los Angeles in our opinion was the most beau- 
tiful. It is an excellent subject in the garden 
and very showy and combines well with other 
flowers in bouquets. In this variety we have a 
rich salmon overlaid with a brilliant and pleas- 
ing rose. The foliage is a dark green making 
the large double flowers stand out very promi- 
nently. The flowers show up exceedingly beau- 
tiful under artificial light. Plants grow about 
two to two and one-half feet in height on good 
stiff stems. If you have planted this variety 
before, we are sure that you will plant it again. 
However, if you have not grown this beautiful 
flower, we urge you to be sure to include it 
in your flower garden. Pkt., 15c; 2 pkts., 25c.

“Your double Shirley Poppies were so 
lovely in my plot 10x10 last year that peo- 
ble just stopped to look and wonder. Nothing 
but cement sidewalks all around but even 
the bees discovered it.”—Mrs, L. P, Hetn,

1076. ENGELMANN’S GIANTS. H. H. P. Of 
all the strains of Pansies on the market today, 
we believe that Mr. Carl Engelmann of England 
has produced the very finest strain of all. Mr. 
Engelmann has won outstanding awards and 
medals at the great spring’ show at Chelsea 
each year on his strains of Pansies. The seed 
that we offer is imported from the originator. 
This strain is a very vigorous growing, compact 
and early flowering type, and contains a great 
variety of shades both dark and light, all of 
the blotched type with very huge, well formed 
blossoms. The blend of colors is too difficult 
to describe in words and we refer you to the 
illustration shown below. We highly recom- 
mend this strain of Pansies. Start seed in- 
doors in flats early in February for early 
spring blooms. Pkt., 35c; 2 pkts., 65c; 1/16 
oz., $1.20; 1/4 0oz., $2.10; 1/4 oz., $4.00.
