ers to the stem—more vigorous plants. 
SALVIA 
W4600 HARRIS’ BONFIRE 
8000 seeds. With florists, the name of Harris 
has become synonymous with superior quali- 
ty and high germinating salvia seed. Ours is 
a strain of our own selection grown for us in 
the East by a salvia specialist. The spikes are 
large, long, and the florets placed very closely 
together. The growth is as uniform as though 
it had been sheared. The color is a brighter 
shade than any other variety, and the germi- 
nation higher. If you want the best, plant our 
American Grown Stock. 3'

NEW MULTIFLORA SWEET PEAS 
Destined to replace the standard strains of 
sweet peas are these new Multifloras which 
bloom between the Cuthbertson and Early 
Flowering. They make unusually vigorous 
plant growth with flower stems which may be 
thick and stiff or slender and wiry and 14” to 
16” long. Starting with four or five flowers to 
a stem, those which follow have six or even 
more flowers on them. Fragrance has not been 
lost, but rather increased, in this new strain. 
Seed stock are limited but we urge you to 
give them a trial this year.

SNAPDRAGONS 
HARRIS’ COLOSSALS 
200,000 seeds. We can safely boast that these 
Harris grown snapdragons will out-perform 
all other varieties under adverse weather 
conditions. Each year comparative trials here 
and in other parts of the East prove this. The 
husky plants produce long stemmed spikes of 
large, beautifully formed florets. They con- 
tinue to produce earlier bloom than any snap- 
dragons in our Trial Grounds. Colors are 
clear and attractive. Although they are not 
the so-called “Rust Resistant” type, we have 
never had rust on any of our plantings. 212’
