SHOWPIECE 



SHOWPIECE. PI. Pat. App. For. Another 

 All-America Winner with many special 

 attributes . . . chief among them, the most 

 beautiful royal rose color imaginable. This 

 is a rich, sparkling color heightened by silvery 

 mist-like highlights on the petal reverses and in 

 the center of the flower. The blossoms themselves 

 are massive, most of them a good 1 inches across, 

 and often 5 inches! These flowers are very full 

 and shapely, with long, graceful petals which are 

 slightly incurved at centers. They make the 

 plant a superb giant, and offer you wonderful 

 sprays and gorgeous individual blooms to cut 

 and arrange. The stems bearing them are long — 

 2 to 2J/9 feet — and are well clothed with lush, 

 green foliage. Naturally, so fine a plant with 

 such a wealth of rich color makes the most lavish 

 splash of beauty, and in late September — truly — 

 you have a Showpiece to be proud of. Don't 

 miss it! SI. 50 ea.; 3 for $3.75.

RUBY KING 



RUBY KING. PL Pat. App. For. Here is 

 the best dark red cushion type Chrys- 

 anthemum available today ... a 

 winner of the All-America Mum Se- 

 lections Award. Ruby Ring is low-growing, 

 reaching a height of 12 to 15 inches and a 

 spread of 15 to 18 inches. In the fall, it is 

 covered with bright, shining red flowers — 

 hundreds of them in a wonderful display 

 of color which peps up the fall garden right 

 up to heavy frost. Such color set off by the 

 beautiful dark green foliage and made more 

 beautiful still by the shapeliness of the plant 

 is a real necessity when summer flowers 

 fade out of the picture. Ruby King's com- 

 pact form makes it ideal for planting along 

 walks and as borders for garden plots. Be 

 sure to try this grand new Mum winner this 

 year, for years of glorious fall color. §1.50 

 ea.; 3 for 83.75.
