are 3 to 445 inches across, widely flared and with 
3” spurs. Many are two-tone combinations of 
cream and rose, violet and white, pale yellow and 
red as well as solid yellows, lavender and white.

wide range of pastel and deeper color tones. Our 
breeding and selection have produced a strain 
that is outstanding.

HARDY CARNATION 
(14,000 seeds.) The new Grenadin Carnations are 
a great improvement over the older strains be- 
cause of their high percentage of double blooms, 
their large size and free flowering habit. They 
are also very fragrant. 18” 
W2301 Grenadin Compact White 
W2302 Grenadin Rose Queen 
W2303 Grenadin Yellow

Oz. $5.00; 1/4 Lb. $16.00. 
CAMPANULA (Canterbury Bells) 
(130,000 seeds.) One of the best loved and most 
widely planted flowers. That it is a biennial seems 
to make no difference. Experienced gardeners 
want seedlings early in the fall; the less experi- 
enced, larger plants in the spring. The Cup and 
Saucer are more popular than the Doubles. 242’ 
W2231 Cup and Saucer White

FOXGLOVE (Digitalis) 
W2725 EXCELSIOR STRAIN, MIXED COLORS. (272,000 
seeds.) Here is a distinct break in this old fash- 
joned flower. The florets are carried all around 
the stem, either horizontal or nearly erect, re- 
vealing the full effects of the markings and con- 
trasting blotches of deeper color inside the tubes. 
Colors range from white, through cream, prim- 
rose, delicate pinks to deep rose and deep laven- 
der. 5’-6’. 
Lg. Pkt. 40c; 1/8 Oz. 75c; 1/4 Oz. $1.25; Oz. $4.00.

strain is in shades of pink, apricot, buff, rose and 
heliotrope. 4’

LUPINS 
W3335 NEW RUSSELL, HARRIS’ SUPREME MIXTURE. 
(1400 seeds.) The long, closely set spikes of very 
large florets in the Russell Lupins are the ulti- 
mate in perennial breeding. Here’s a perennial 
that would be profitable sold in bloom in paper 
pots. We have been making selections from the 
originator’s stock to get increased vigor and the 
finest possible colors. Pink, rose, buff, bronze, 
rust red and blues are in our mixture, as well as 
many bicolors. 3’ 
Lg. Pkt. 30c; 1/4 Oz. 55c; Oz. $2.00. 
DELPHINIUM

“must” for anyone growing perennial plants. 
Our plantings for seed crops have been most im- 
pressive, blooming continuously from late June 
until September. Large vigorous plants; tall 
sturdy spikes; florets very large and double. 5’

florists. 4’

“Dear Friend, You remember we thought I 
had bought enough delphinium seed for 4 
or 5 thousand plants. You should see them! 
They came up like petunias. I have at least 
10,000 wp—over 1,200 of Astolat alone. The 
primroses were also extra good.” 
James Lewis, Chestnut Ridge Road, 
Williamsville, New York. Dec. 1953. 
GAILLARDIA (Blanket Flower) 
W2910 DAZZLER. (10,000 seeds.) Easy to grow,

ways popular so plants are easy to sell and as cut 
flowers they are in great demand. They bloom 
most of the summer if kept cut back. 24’

LUNARIA (Honesty) 
W3178 BIENNIS. (1500 seeds.) Here’s an outstand- 
ing example of the changing styles in flowers. A 
few years ago there was little interest in the seed 
pods of this biennial which the old timers called 
Silver Dollars. Now we see many florists’ win- 
dows featuring them! It takes two years to get 
flowers and seed pods unless seed is started in- 
doors very early. 2’

older varieties. If plants are blooming at May
