Blower Seed for the Blorist 
PHLOX DRUMMONDI 
Michell’s Radiant Mixed 
Three years ago we introduced Dwarf Beauty and it proved to 
be outstanding but our plant breeders continued to work on a new 
strain and finally after years of single and plant selections we have 
what we consider the outstanding dwarf Phlox ever offered. The 
plants are more compact than any other strain and the flowers are 
larger with more distinct eyes and the color range is unbelievable, 
every conceivable color in this popular flower is in this mixture. 
This strain is so free flowering that the entire plant is covered 
with blooms so numerous that the foliage is completely hidden. 
Especially recommended for pots. Grows 6 to 8 inches hich 
Tr. pkt. 75c; 14 oz. $1.50; oz. $5.50. 
STOCKS 
Trysomic Giant Imperial 
This is the first Trysomic Stock ever offered. Based on studies com- 
menced by Dr. H. B. Frost at Cornell University in 1915 and furthered 
through the 20’s, the genetic theory of Trysomic doubles in Stocks 
was developed and proved by 1930 to be capable of producing 85% 
doubleness from seed. 
The Trysomic Stock offered produces 85% or more double flowering 
plants when sown from seed. In addition to this desirable trait, the 
percentage of any planting can be increased up to 100% at the four- 
leaf seeding stage as at this period of growth the young singles are 
noticeably weaker and can be readily distinguished from the vigorous 
double flowering plants.
