Childs’ Leading Specialties
Calendulas of Monster
Size
51177. Childs’ Mammoth Orange. We offer you
now for the first time a monster sized Calendula that is
so profuse a bloomer that it fairly blooms its life away.

full of the finest cut flowers. Keeps the neighbors’
homes full also. Comes early in the spring and is one
of the last to defy Jack Frost.
The flowers frequently measure 3 inches across. Are
of fine and very double formation. . The color is of the
richest orange, glaringly bright. Pkt. 25c; 3 for 65c.
Everblooming Sweet
e e
William
56555. Childs’ Everblooming. (See illustration on
page 16.) This is one of the finest real good things we
have to offer. It will please and satisfy you. The
flowers are larger in huge cluster with colors that are
exceedingly beautiful and varied, ranging from pure
white to rich red. Many of the flowers are ringed and
spotted, creating a most novel effect. We have counted
as many as 74 large blossoms on one plant. It is
perfectly hardy. Pkt. 25c;3 for 65c. Postpaid.
10764. Plants, each 30c; doz. $3.00.
Childs’ Delphiniums

strain of Delphiniums ever offered. Nor can this par-
ticular type be purchased elsewhere. A distinct
selection of our own. It is something better.
The strain exceeds in beauty and immensity any
Delphinium before introduced. We predict that it will
supersede all the older sorts.
With each additional year it increases in beauty of
formation, in productiveness of bloom and vigor.

10880. Plants, each 50c; doz. $5.00. Postpaid.
Private Estates Delphinium
Childs’ New Mammoth Orange Calendula
Everblooming Amaryllis
5020. (See front cover for illustration.) This intro-
duction of our own is a plant and flower of incom-
parable magnificence. The most extravagant praises
would not do it justice. It was the wonder and the
awe of all who saw the International Flower Show
display. Asa pot plant for the house it is unexcelled.
Free and easy grower.
The flower stalks are about 2 feet high and bear from
three to five exqWisitely beautiful blooms of the
brightest and most striking orange-salmon color ever
seen in any flower.

50150. Seed. (Blooms within a year.) Pkt. 50c.
Fountain Cyperus
15900. Although it thrives in wet, damp and moist
places it also flourishes under the natural conditions of
other plants. The graceful triangular stems spread out
into a beautiful plant with great heads of thread-like
green leaves that sway back and forth in the smallest
breeze, giving it an effect like a playing water fountain
(hence its name). Each 50c; doz. $5.00. Postpaid.
A Trailing Abutilion
15085. Here is a novelty of real beauty and value. A
plant that is easy to grow and a delight to all who see
it. In our opinion, is a wonderful flower. The leaves
are a rich deep green, beautifully spotted with a rich
yellow. The flowers are long and somewhat trumpet
shaped of the richest blood scarlet. The graceful, slender
branches grow several feet, trailing superbly. For a
suspended pot, hanging basket or window box it has
no superior. Each 40c; 3 for $1.00. Postpaid.
A New Sweet Scented
Double Syringa
14170. Now if you want something that will produce
flowers, beautiful flowers in profusion, something that

for blocks away, something suitable for cut flowers,
then try this. We ask you to accept our word that it is
something extraordinarily beautiful, useful and plea-
sure giving. The flowers are double. Each $1.25;
6 for $7.00. Postpaid.

Splendid Specialties and Novelties
Two New
Chrysanthemums
Again we offer you something new, something unusual,
something beautiful. A magnificent hardy, free flowering
thread-like Chrysanthemum that will be a pleasure.
We particularly recommend this to all who love “Mums,”
for it is very fascinating and beautiful. If you pinch back
the parent stems and lateral branches in the early stages of
its growth it will reward you with a mass of bloom that will
prove a veritable shower of flowers on nice long stately
stems which for cut flowers cannot be excelled.
10355. Cocoanut White. Each 40c; Doz. $4.00.
10357. Cocoanut Yellow. Each 40c; doz. $4.00.
Phoenix Robelini Palm
16732. Not something new, but a palm for house use that
will stand considerable abuse and still grow rapidly and
large. It is beyond a doubt one of the finest palms possible
to grow. Nothing can surpass it as a decorative plant. It
—————e——————————
Gloxinias—Childs’ Giants
6210. We specialize in Gloxinias. And what a display!
The Gloxinia is, we believe, the most beautiful flower
in the world. Resembles large inverted bells of color
combinations almost too exquisite to imagine. The
leaves are large, the color richest green and the flowers
stand out gracefully beyond. The texture has the
appearance of waxy velvet. Stands house use in a fine
manner. Colors are very intense and bright—some
plain, some spotted, some mottled, others bizarre.
Bulbs. Each 50c; 3 for $1.35; doz. $4.50.
52900. Seeds. Pkt. 50c; 2 for 85c.
Childs’ Storm King Fuchsia
15920. This variety is a Childs Introduction, being
originally brought out by us. A double white, perpetual
blooming, weeping Fuchsia. Its graceful, weeping habit
and beautiful flowers, more freely borne than those of any
other sort, make the most valuable of Fuchsias. It is
always in bloom. The buds, for two weeks before they
expand, are balls of glowing scarlet-crimson. When
expanded the enormous double flowers are almost pure
white, capped by a calyx of glowing scarlet. 50c each;
3 for $1.25. Postpaid.
Azalea—The Beautiful
14010. Bushes become literally covered with rose shaped
flowers, so thick, in fact, you can hardly see the leaves on
the bushes. It is a wonderfully prolific shrub. They
start to bloom their heads off the first year and each year
as they increase in size the profusion of blooms seems to
increase. Each $1.00; doz. $10.00. Postpaid.
will succeed in any window.
does equally well.
beautiful.
If moved outdoors in summer
The foliage is graceful, striking and
We question if this variety can be purchased
anywhere else. We offer it because we have been
studying the best palms for growing in the home and
find that this and our Filifera are unquestonably the
best for average home conditions. Each 50c; 3 for
$1.25. Postpaid.
CharmingDoubleBegonia
Vernon Hybrid
15230. Produces more profusion of double flowers
than any other Begonia or any other kind of plant.
Especially recommended for outdoor use. In any
location it is always a remarkable bloomer. The foliage
is beautiful and the flowers range in white, pink and
crimson colors. It is decidedly an all-year-round flower. -

variety of fine things, and will be entirely of our own selection, from kinds of which we havea surplus. No

Childs’ Vegetable Seed Specials
Childs’ Famous Pineapple Onion
1371. Here’s an onion of unusual merit, unusual shape and unusual flavor.
Here’s an onion that leaves no repulsive onion “‘after effects.”’ An onion
that is decidedly distinct in every way from any other onion. Shaped
like a bottle and slightly flavored like a pineapple. It has superb
flavor that cannot be equaled by any other onion. It has a
delicate flavor, a delicious flavor beyond compare. It
is rich, tender and crisp.

“PINEAPPLE ONION -
Byers Green Podded Bean

round, nearly straight, green in color, very brittle and fine quality. Pkt. 10c; lb. 40c; 2 lbs.

Childs’ Golden Acre, the Extra Early Round
Head Cabbage
510. Five days ahead of Jersey Wakefield, with the added advantage of being a larger yielder, a
round head, much sweeter, better flavor, more crisp, equally tender and by far the most solid
head of any Cabbage. It matures in about 85 days. It is identical to the celebrated Copenhagen
Market in every way except one—it’s earlier. Pkt. 20c; oz. 70c; 1% lb. $2.00; Ib. $6.00.
Childs’ Earliest Cucumber
825. Cucumbers differ from most other vegetables in that they are, as a rule, always served raw.
Therefore a really worthwhile variety must of necessity be tender and crisp. Next comes earliness.
In Childs’ Earliest we have an extremelly early variety, tender, crisp, cool and finest flavor. It is
uniform in size, very straight, with a slight indication of pointedness, dark green in color and clear
white flesh. Pkt. 15c; oz. 25c; 14 Ib. 65c; Ib. $1.75.

righteously claim of this wonderful strain. :
Although it is an extra early variety
it can on account of its
coreless nature be used long,
long before maturity, with the added
advantage of having a deli-
cious, coreless carrot the fol-
lowing early spring months. It is the
