 hardy Delphinium and annual Lark- 

 spur. Flowers are intense dark blue,

1583 Petunia, 

 Strawberry Festival 



The new Strawberry Festival Petunia is 

 different; not only are its flowers un- 

 usual but also its habit of growth. As 

 a cut flower it is one of the best for its 

 exceptionally strong, sturdy stems, 

 covered with small, firm, round leaves, 

 bear several open flowers at a time. 

 These medium-sized flowers, 2 to 3 in. 

 across, are of a firm texture, and in color 

 are about half-way between old rose 

 and crushed strawberry. The whole 

 flower attracts attention. The dark 

 plum colored center is deep and broad 

 giving the flower a decided Gloxinia 

 appearance. As easy to grow as any 

 other bedding Petunia. 

 Pkt. 10c; 3 pkts. 25c; 1/128 oz. 50c. 



Nasturtium, Tiger Flowered Mixed 



1544 Nasturtium, 



Tiger Flowered Mixed 



An unusual, but striking mixture of large, semi-double 

 flowers of the semi-tall or Gleam type. Flowers are of 

 many bizarre markings, streaked or mottled in various 

 degrees. Sometimes, these markings are confined to the 

 throat while on others the whole surface is blotched 

 or mottled with deep colors on a lighter ground, very 

 often changing considerably in different flowers on the 

 same plant. Flowers are very large, exquisitely sweet- 

 scented and freely borne on semi-tall plants, some with 

 light green and others with deep bluish-green foliage. 

 Splendid for beds, wide borders, ground covers, as well 

 as for cutting. Pkt. 20o; 3 pkts. 50c; oz. $1.25. 



Morning Glory, Scarlett O'Hara 



1487 Morning Glory, 



Scarlett 0*Hara 



Gold Medal Winner, All-America Selections for 1939. 



Nearest approach to scarlet in Morning Glories. Flowers 

 grow 3}4 to 4 in. across, bright rosy red; the five broad 

 veins radiating from the throat in the shape of a star are 

 brilliant red almost a scarlet. Flowers open early in the 

 morning and remain open longer than other Morning 

 Glories, many being in bloom in the afternoon. Easily 

 raised, free flowering climber succeeding in any soil and 

 location. Fine for covering embankments, waste places, 

 porches and poles; grows about 10 ft. high.

1738 Scabiosa, 

 Pompadour 



Also known as Pincushion Flower. Large flow- 

 ers, 2J'2 in. across, of a most unique combina- 

 tion of colors. Intense blackish purple blend- 

 ing into lighter rose-purple, heavily edged 

 white. Effective in beds or borders and highly 

 desirable for cutting as flowers are so long- 

 lasting and long-stemmed. 



Pkt. 20c; Va oz. 70c. 



1792 Sweet Pea, Bountiful 



Truly bountiful, for when grown well each stem produces 5, 6 or 7 

 flowers; they are large, long-stemmed and of a lovely mid-blue 

 shade lightening to silvery blue at the margins. 



Pkt. 25c: 2 pkts. 45c; V2 oz. $1.35.
