Pansy Engelmann' s Giant Mixture

SEED GROWERS (JVholcsale Only)

CALIFORNIA’S CHOICEST FLOWER SEEDS-SINCE 1890
El Monte, Los Angeles County, U. S. A.

E\GELMANx\ S PANSIES

As the result of an e\tensi\-e tour throu-th the Pansy ^row-
in"; districts of Europe ^ye selected and offered to the trade
last year Eiyuelmann's Special and Enttelmann’s Giant. Both
of these strains have been tried out and found to be what the
trade wanted. Everyone who has grown either of these
strains has been enthusiastic over them. I'he immense size
of the blooms and the beautiful range of color will undoubt¬
edly increase sales on this popular flower, especially where
blooming plants are sold. If you have not already tried these
we hope you will do so this year. 'To those who have used
these strains we urge the early placing of orders as the crop
will be somewhat limited.

CALENDULA DOUBLE CHRYSANTHA
OR SUNSHINE

A new and outstanding florist’s Calendula, coming excep¬
tionally true to type and color. This recent introduction
should become a very valuable addition to the ever popular
Calendula. It is distinctly different in flower form, with
wide petals which are loosely placed on the flower and re¬
semble somewhat the Chrysanthemum. The flowers are a
clear buttercup yellow fully as large as Campfire (Sensation)
or Ball’s Orange and with good strong stems for cutting.

Price: >4 lb., $2.00; lb., $6.50

CALENDULA RODGER’S PASTEL BEDDING
MIXTURE

A special mixture for the home garden, and contains a
balanced combination of the lighter shades of Calendulas in
the dwarfer growing types of all the new and popular pastel
shades and a moderate amount of brighter colors fcr contrast.

ANTIRRHINUM MAJESTIC SNOWSTORM LEPTOSYNE STILLMANII

These four improved cut flower varieties will be found listed in our 1933 contract list. We consider these very de¬
sirable and recommend that you list them this spring. New crop seed will be available within the next four weeks.

We hope that you will give your consideration to new or additional items lor your 1934 spring catalog at this time amu
cover immediately as flow'er seeds are selling out rapidly and we have already found it necessary to discontinue booking or¬
ders for some of the most popular varieties. We also expect an unusually heavy late demand and suggest that you antici¬
pate your requirements liberally as we feel that it will be very difficult to pick up the necessary fill-in items next spring.
