W4600 HARRIS’ BONFIRE. With florists, the name 
of Harris has become synonymous with superior 
quality 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 germination higher. If you 
want the best, plant our American Grown Stock.

own strain of Bonfire will be in short supply this

grown in Europe. It flowers about two weeks 
ahead of our special strain but the flower bracts 
are not as heavy and not as fully set. 28”.

reselected strain of St. John’s Fire being 
slightly earlier and with fuller, heavier flow- 
er spikes which give the effect of more bloom. 
Foliage is slightly darker than St. John’s Fire.

ering, Fireworks will be most desirable for 
plant sales. 1’

HARRIS’ COLOSSALS 
Each year we expect that a new snapdragon will 
come along that will out-perform our Colossals 
here in the Northeast. But again this year they 
produced better bloom earlier and more continu- 
ously in our Trial Grounds than any others avail- 
able to date. The husky plants send up many long 
stemmed flower spikes, foliage is a glossy deep 
green, colors are clear and attractive, florets are 
large and beautifully formed. Altho, they are not 
the so-called Rust Resistant type, we have never 
had rust on any of our planting. We grow our 
own seed crops here at Moreton Farm. 21%’

NEW MULTIFLORA SWEET PEAS

to a stem, those which follow have six or even
