SUPREME LARKSPUR 
The ideal cut flower strain for 
home gardens 
Yes, an entirely new strain of the popu- 
far Giant Imperial or base branching type 
Larkspur . . . offering five entirely new 
colors and a white. These colors are not 
just a slight variation from existing varie- 
ties, but are new tones, being absolutely 
distinct and different. 
The plants have an ideal, upright habit, 
with a tremendous central or main flower 
spike which is formed by a great many 
fully double, large flowers with broad pet- 
als. The plants are exceptionally uniform 
in height, making them ideal for mass 
plantings in annual borders.

Blue, Lilac, Pink, Rose, Salmon and Bone 
White in the right proportions. We be- 
lieve there is no other Larkspur mixture 
that will come even close in beauty and 
quality. A brand new introduction that is 
excellent for garden charm as well as 
home beauty in striking flower arrange- 
ments. Pkt. 25c.

fusion on long-stemmed spikes. The flow-

rose, are usually borne in May and June.

are cut back, they will often produce a 
second showing of flowers. Grows about 
3 feet tall, thriving in either sun or partial

MARIGOLDS are truly the amateur gar- 
dener’s best friend. They are both hardy 
and colorful, which makes them ideal for 
all types of garden work. Blooms start 
early in July and continue until late fall. 
They are free from or withstand disease 
better than most other annuals. These 
showy annuals may be raised by sowing 
seed in the open garden as soon as the 
soil is warm, but a more certain method 
of procuring fine plants is to sow the seed 
in flats or hot beds about the first of 
March. 
Tall African Double. An especially fine 
tall (3 feet) branching, bearing enormous 
flowers of the quilled type. Orange, 
Lemon and Mixed. Packet, 10c. 
Harmony French Dwarf Double. The neat, 
dwarf, compact growth, combined with 
the extremely early, free flowering char- 
acter of the plants makes this new dwarf 
Harmony Hybrid one of the outstanding 
introductions of the season. Flowers are 
medium size, rather large for the French 
type, averaging 134 inches in diameter 
and do not have the strong Marigold odor. 
The color range includes the popular yel- 
low and innumerable blotches and striped 
combinations of golden orange and ma- 
roon, and various shades of golden and 
lemon yellow with the contrasting dark 
maroon. Plants reach a height of 12 to 
14 inches. Packet, 10c. 
Sunset Giant. The very largest Marigold 
yet developed, blooms reach a size of 5 
inches in diameter. The definite sweet 
scent of the flowers adds to its value as a 
cut flower, as well as being a good gar- 
den plant. The plants are extremely ro- 
bust, producing a heavy growth of foliage, 
with 6 to 8 heavy branches each bearing 
3 to 6 flowers. The plant grows from 312 
to 4 feet. Packet, 10c. 
Signata Pumila Little Giant is the smallest 
Marigold yet developed, growing but 9 
inches tall. These dainty plants make an 
excellent border as their brilliant golden 
yellow flowers bloom profusely through- 
out the entire summer up until late fall. 
Packet, 10c.

hogany turning to orange scarlet. 
Packet, 10c.

and growing in either full sun or partial 
shade; thrives best in cool moderately 
rich soil. From 6 to 15 inches high. Its 
vigorous branches spread gracefully and 
are well clothed with rather heavy, dark 
green leaves. Plants should be started 
from seed in the open ground, for they 
grow quickly and dislike transplanting.

Blooms are exceedingly fragrant. For the 
annual and perennial borders, combining 
freely with most flowers. Varieties: Odo- 
rata Grandiflora, white. Victoria Perfecta,

tion is hastened by filing small holes or
