this, our seventeenth annual catalog of flower and vege¬
table seeds, bulbs, plants, and gardening requisites, a
renewal of our pledge to maintain the same standards of
quality merchandise and service that have, for nearly
twenty years, made the name Muller-Sealey stand for
Maximum Satisfaction.

— both in filling their plant requirements and in helping
them find the easiest, most direct, most enjoyable way to

desire to experiment with the rarest and most unusual of
garden materials, we are prepared and equipped to fill
your requirements with the very best obtainable. And

filling of every order.
Looking forward to the pleasure of serving you we wish
you a garden year of unprecedented success and unqualified
enjoyment.

FLOWER SEEDS
Novelties for 1935
CALENDULA “Orange Shaggy”
A very distinct break in Calendulas. The closely set petals
are long and deeply fringed or lacinated, giving to the flower
the shaggy appearance of Chrysanthemums. The color is a
rich 'orange and the flowers are freely borne on long stems.
Pkt. 35c., 34 oz. $2.50.
COSMOS EARLY KLONDYKE
Orange Flare
An early flowering strain, blooming in four months from
seed. The color is the same vivid orange of the ordinary

less abundant. The stems are long and wiry. Well adapted
for_cutting. Pkt. 25c., 34 oz. $1.50.
DIANTHUS PLUMARIUS
Little Jock Hybrids
We feel sure that these new hybrids will become popular for
the decoration of rockeries. The compact plants which grow
6 to 8 inches high produce a multitude of prettily fringed flow¬
ers about an inch across in varied tints of pink, rose, and white
shades which are 50 per cent double. Pkt. 50c.
DIANTHUS Double Sweet Wivelsfield
A remarkable successor to the original “Sweet Wivelsfield.”
It has a larger and fuller individual flower which lasts a good
deal longer in the beds.
The colors range from velvety crimson to white, and salmon
pink, and the habit of the plant 15 inches high is extremely
vigorous. Pkt. 50c.
SALVIA SPLENDENS “Coral”
The long flower spikes appear a vivid coral pink which is
set off by a fine brick red done on a long corolla. This extra¬
ordinary pastel shade appears to the best advantage in late
Summer and Autumn. Pkt. 50c.
VENIDIUM FASTUOSUM HYBRIDS
It is certain that these new hybrids will be cordially wel¬
comed. The plants grow 2-3 feet tall and produce numerous
stems, each bearing a large flower 4-5 inches across. The colors
include buff, lemon, cream, light orange, white, canary yellow,
rose, cerise, and salmon.
Choice Mixed. Pkt. 75c.
ZINNIA “Fantasy”
The informal, shaggy appearing flowers are graceful and
interesting, and quite distinct from the formal Zinnias to which
we are accustomed.
The medium sized flowers are composed of a mass of shaggy,
raylike petals which give a delicate and refined appearance.
Choice Mixed. Pkt. 25c., 34 oz. $2.50.

having large, lacerated petals some 2 inches in diameter. It

of large, fragrant flowers, blue with white center, carried
gracefully on wiry 18 inch stems. The culture is the same as
for Fieesias but as the bulbs show little tendency to throw off
sets, seed which germinates freely is the best means of propagation.
Pkt. 75c.

shape the flower resembles a Bouvardia, while the color is a
brilliant scarlet. Pkt. 50c.

PAPAVER NUDICAULE “Gartref”
ICELAND POPPIES
The “Gartref” strain of Iceland Poppies has been reselected
from the range of art shades, and, as a distinctive feature, most
of the blooms have dark edges to the petals, both in dainty
tonings and in sharp contrast to the base colorings. The large
blooms measure 43^ inches across, and some even as much as
5}4 inches. The range is extensive, for, besides the number of
base colorings, the combination of edgings and centers adds

the amber to apricot colorings are free from brown shades.

ANNUALS
These play a big part in the great color schemes of brilliant
beds and borders in our Summer gardens. Both for garden
effect and for cutting their beauty and usefulness is equally
valuable, and by careful choice as to height, color and time of
blooming, effective arrangements can be made for a con¬
tinuous display away into the Fall.
HARDY ANNUALS. Sow in the open ground where they
are intended to bloom. The seeds should be sown thinly and
covered with fine soil to a greater or less depth, according to
the size of the seed.
HALF-HARDY ANNUALS. The seeds should be sown
in pans or frames in the early Spring, and transplanted out¬
doors in April or May, but previous to removal they should
be hardened off by gradually exposing to the open air.

PERENNIALS and
BIENNIALS
NE of the most interesting spots in any garden
is the border devoted to hardy perennials, usually
called “the old-fashioned” or “grandmother’s
garden.” Their permanent nature and delightful
_ forms and color, their wealth of blooms and con¬
tinuous display throughout the year are good reasons why
perennials are general favorites with everybody.
Some professional gardeners and many amateurs prefer
to raise their own hardy flowers from seed, and we think,
much of the real excitement and joy in gardening is afforded
in tending and nursing the little mites from babyhood. The
following list is fairly representative of the choicest and rarest
as well as the best old-fashioned flowers available today.

Orchid-Flowering Dahlias
This fine race is certainly due great popularity for landscape
effect, gardens, table arrangements, and dainty decorations.
The bushes are compact, free branching, and exceedingly pro¬
lific bloomers. Most of them are 4 to 5 inches in diameter and
2 to 3 feet in height. They do wonderfully well when pinched
or cut back for landscape effect, but should not be thinned out
or disbudded. If Orchid-flowering or Single Dahlias are cut
before the pollen shows, they will hold their petals and keep
for days.
