Ner^u Dwarf Erect Verbena, Blue Sentinel 



1977 Verbena, Blue Sentinel 



Plants are dwarf, compact and perfectly erect in growth, 10 

 in. high and 20 in. wide. Each upright spike bears an attrac- 

 tive head of rich, royal violet-blue flowers; these individual 

 flowers grow 5* in. across and make up into well-formed 

 clusters about 2 in. across. Ideal for beds, borders and 

 edgings. Pkt. 25c ; 2 pkts. 45c; 5 pkts. $1.00. 



1058 Aster, Violet Glory 



Extremely early blooming; first flowers appear in 

 about 14 weeks after the seed is sown. They are of a 

 rich shade of deep purple-violet, 3 to i]/i in. 

 across, fully double and so thick as to be almost 

 globular. The incurved center petals display a 

 handsome silvery sheen. Plants grow IK ft. tall 

 and are of open, spreading habit, about 2 ft. 

 across. Stems are straight, strong and range from 

 12 to 15 in. in length. Extreme earliness and re- 

 markable cutting stems make Violet Glory a 

 most desirable Aster. 



Pkt. 2Sc; 2 pkts. 4Sc; 5 pkts. $1.00. 



1189 Calliopsis 

 ' Coronata 



The earliest of all Calliopsis; blooms in 

 12 weeks from the time the seed is 

 sown. Flowers are bright golden yellow, 

 attractively marked with a ring of 

 delicate maroon pencilings about >1 in. 

 from the center disc. Between the 

 pencilings, and the center, the color 

 becomes golden orange. The flowers 

 grow 2 to 2J4 in. across and are borne 

 on long, clean stems 12 to 15 in. long. 

 Fine for cutting and showy in beds or 

 borders. 



Pkt. 15c: Vi oz. 35c; V2 oz. 60c. 



Four New Marigolds 



1485 Spanish Gold 



Unlike any Marigold ever offered before. Called 

 Hedge or Border type; so uniform are the plants 

 in growth that a row looks like a nicely trimmed 

 hedge about 20 in. high and 30 in. wide. Besides 

 its usefulness as a hedge, it is really fine for all 

 purposes — borders, beds and as a cut flower. 

 Flowers are most artistic; they somewhat resem- 

 ble Carnations but are more waved and frilled; 

 fully double, 3 in. across, and of a deep glowing 

 golden orange. Blooms in 20 weeks from seed 

 and will keep on blooming until killed by frost. 

 Pkt. 25c; 2 pkts. 45c; 5 pkts. $1.00. 



Spanish Gold- 

 Marigold 



1476 Early Sunshine 



Bright lemon-yellow flowers composed 

 of many curled and interlaced florets 

 which gives them the appearance of a 

 Pompon Chrysanthemum. They grow 

 2]/i in. across and 134 in. deep. Plants 

 grow 2 ft. tall and bloom extremely 

 early, in fact, first flowers are to be had 

 in 15 weeks after the seed is sown; they 

 continue to bear for a long time. Showy 

 in the garden and highly prized for 

 cutting. 



Pkt. 25c; Vg oz. $1.00. 



1480 Burpee Gold 



A wonderful Carnation-flowered Mari- 

 gold with odorless foliage. Earlier bloom- 

 ing, larger flowered, dwarfer growing and 

 produces more flowers than Guinea Gold 

 and, best of all, the foliage is entirely 

 free of the usual Marigold odor. Flowers 

 are deep orange, 3H in. across, and 

 freely produced on plants 2J4 ft. tall. 

 Begin to bloom in 15 weeks; continues 

 until frost.

Golden Glow 

 Marigold 

 with Odorless 

 Foliage 



Early Sunshine Marigold 



1479 Golden Glow 



Entirely distinct flower form, some- 

 what like the Chrysanthemum-flow- 

 ered type but petals are straight, 

 sharply pointed and lie rather flat 

 they resemble in appearance, as 

 well as color, the familiar Golden 

 Glow Rudbeckia, hence the 

 name. Flowers are bright, sharp 

 golden yellow, 234 in. across and 

 are borne in clusters of 5 to 10 

 on the ends of long branches. 

 Golden Glow is highly prized for 

 cutting as foliage is entirely odor- 

 less. Plants grow 2 ft. tall and 

 begin to bloom in 17 weeks from 

 seed. Pkt. 25c; 2 pkts. 4Sc; 



5 pkts. $1.00.
