All America Selections of 1943 



Silver Medal Awards 



Petunia ® 



3412 America Alldouble 



Distinctly different from all other 

 double Petunias, — 100% true for 

 doubleness. This is the first of the "All- 

 double Petunias" originated in this 

 country to be offered to American gar- 

 deners. The plants branch freely but 

 retain a desirable compactness. They- 

 grow about a foot tall and make a 

 showy circular cushion 18 in in diam- 

 eter. The flowers measure up to 2^4 in. 

 in diameter and are an appealing 

 sparkling rose-pink color. The small 

 mid-green foliage has little stickiness. 

 Pkt. 50c; large pkt. $2.25. 



Marigold ® 



Dwarf Double French 



2944 Sunkist 



The plants of this Silver Medal win- 

 ner greatly resemble those of Butter 

 Ball which was introduced last year. 

 They are of compact, dwarf growth and 

 therefore highly desirable for dwarf 

 beds and borders, yet the individual 

 flower stems are long enough to permit 

 artistic arrangement of the flowers in 

 vases of moderate size. Sunkist belongs 

 to the Harmony type of Marigolds and 

 has attractive double rich orange 

 blooms. Pkt. 10c; large pkt. 40c; % oz. 

 60c. 



Bronze Medal Award 

 3308 Petunia, Dwarf Compact Igloo ® 



A delightful new Petunia making dense bushes of neat, compact 

 growth covered continuously with a grand display of flowers from early 

 summer until hard frost in the fall. The individual blooms are only 

 lyi inches in diameter but they are produced so freely as to cover the 

 plants completely. They are a pleasing creamy white with a more pro- 

 nounced yellow tint in the throat. Pkt. 25c; large pkt. 75c. 



Honorable Mention 



Single Bedding Petunia © 

 3332 English Violet 



This belongs to the hybrida nana 

 class and adds a delightful new color 

 to this valuable group — a bright purple- 

 violet of velvety richness, set against a 

 dense mass of bright green foliage which 

 sets off the flowers to good advantage. 

 Pkt. 25c; large pkt. 75c. 



Cosmos, Giant Sensation ® 

 2046 Dazzler 



Like the other Sensation Cosmos 

 this new variety exhibits a splendid 

 combination of earliness, vigor, and size 

 of flowers. The well-formed, broad- 

 petaled blooms are an appealing deep 

 amaranth crimson. They measure i to 

 4 inches across. Pkt. 20c; large pkt. 

 50c; \i oz. 75c. 



Aster ® 

 1307 Victory Giant Mixed

 semble the California Giants but they 

 start blooming well in advance of that 

 popular type. Includes a splendid range 

 of desirable colors. Pkt. 25c; large pkt. 

 75c; K oz. $1.25. 



Aster ® 

 1302 Extra-Early Navy Blue 



Elegant large flowers in form not un- 

 like those of the Giant Crego Aster but

 dividual flowers measure about 4 in. in 

 diameter and are a deep velvety purple 

 with the blooms well displayed on plants 

 20 in. tall. Pkt. 25c; large pkt. 75c.
