A Galaxy of Morning Glories (-A) 



for Red, White, and Blue Combinations 



These Giant Morning Glories are ever so 

 much more awe inspiring than the old- 

 fashioned small-flowered sorts. They really 

 are delightful with the strong vines hidden 

 under a sheet of blooms from late summer 

 until frost.- Considering the small amount 

 of space they need it is surprising that they 

 are not seen in every garden. 



2499 Scarlett O'Hara. Of a beautiful cor- 

 nelian red color with flowers measuring 

 3Vi in. across and very distinct large lobed 

 leaves. 100 seeds 50c; pkt. 25c. 



2503 Pearly Gates. The loveliest white 

 Morning Glory with satiny blooms 4 inches 

 across. Keeps on blooming almost all day 

 long and has beautiful bright green leaves. 

 100 seeds 50c; pkt. 25c. 



2498 Heavenly Blue (.Clark's Early Flower- 

 ing). A sight to behold when the vigorous 

 vines are simply covered with the extra- 

 large rich sky blue flowers. Always greatly 

 admired. 100 seeds 50c; pkt. 25c. 



2504 Darling. This resembles Scarlett 

 O'Hara, but the equally-large and colorful 

 cornelian red flowers are white in the 

 throat and that adds considerably to their 

 bright effect. We want to bring this to your 

 special attention because we believe that 

 you not only are interested in new varieties 

 but also in the improvements they repre- 

 sent. New for 1951. Pkt. 25c. 



2497 Blue Star. An All America Winner of 

 clear sky blue with five prominent mid ribs 

 of deeper blue forming a star that adds 

 special charm. Pkt. 25e. 



Nicotiana (A) 



Flowering Tobacco 



3044 Daylight. This is an entirely 

 new strain of flowering tobacco in 

 which the blooms retain their full 

 beauty right through the day. They 

 differ in this respect from the older 

 varieties which were primarily night 

 bloomers, hanging their heads be- 

 tween sun-up and sun-down. Daylight 

 has large white blooms of great 

 beauty. They are borne profusely on 

 vigorous, well branched plants grow- 

 ing about 2 ft. tall. That makes them 

 of convenient size for beds and bor- 

 ders. Daylight has the same rich per- 

 fume as the older favorites, but it is 

 most pronounced in the evenings. 

 1000 seeds 50c; pkt. 25c. 



$/T'r 



Nierembergia (A) 

 3055 Purple Robe 



Here is one of the daintiest and one of 

 the most delightful dwarf annuals anyone 

 could choose for a dwarf border or as a 

 fill-in in the rock garden. It was awarded 

 a Bronze Medal in the All America Selec- 

 tions and certainly deserves it. The plants 

 grow about 6 in. tall forming mounds that 

 will reach a foot in diameter, and these are 

 thickly covered all summer long with lovely 

 little cups of a pleasing violet-blue color. 

 The beauty of the plants is further en- 

 hanced by the most delicate light green 

 fern-like foliage that serves as an appro- 

 priate setting to the flowers. In addition 

 to being a splendid garden plant it also 

 is fine for pot growing. Pkt. 35e.

Golden Gleam 



The Most Popular of 



All Double Sweet -Scented 



Nasturtium 



Golden Gleam by no means is new 

 yet it still is the best of all the double 

 sweet-scented Nasturtium. That at 

 least is the opinion of most gardeners. 

 The large, double, well rounded flow- 

 ers are a most intriguing golden shade 

 that gleams without being harsh. 

 Golden Gleam has a tendency to send 

 out short runners so that ample room 

 should be provided for it to spread 

 naturally. Oz. 40c; pkt. 15e. 



Pansy 



3108 Coronation Gold 



There can be no argument that Corona- 

 tion Gold deserves the Award of Merit 

 given to it in the All America Selections. 

 You must see it to appreciate its full beauty. 

 There just is no other yellow Pansy that 

 can compare with it. The blooms are a 

 clear rich golden yellow with faint orange- 

 gold veins arising out of the throat. Cor- 

 onation Gold also has a delightful spicy 

 fragrance that is most pronounced when 

 the flowers are brought indoors for vase 

 displays. 1000 seeds $1.50; pkt. 25c.
