1937 Novelties 



Petunia, Dainty Lady 



Marigold, 

 Crown of Gold 



2175 Gold Medal All-American Se- 

 lections 1937. The first Marigold 

 with foliage that is practically 

 odorless and with sweet-scented 

 flowers. Plants grow about 2 

 feet tall, are quite bushy, and 

 bear deep orange flowers, 2V2 

 inches across. Quilled central 

 petals with an outer row of flat 

 guard petals. Pkt., 25c. 



Marigold, Sunset Giants 



2155. Marigold seems to be quite 

 the vogue in flowers and much 

 work has been done towards im- 

 proving them. We offer Sunset 

 Giants as the latest and finest 

 development. Plants are very 

 strong, grow .3 to 4 feet high and 

 bear the largest flowers ever 

 seen in Marigolds, usually five 

 inches across. Colors range from 

 primrose to deep golden orange, 

 60 to 65 per cent double. Pkt., 

 25c. 



Marigold, French Dwarf 

 Double Harmony 



2166. Although this variety was 

 never entered in the All-America 

 trials, it is a distinct novelty. 

 Flowers somewhat resemble a 

 Scabiosa, the outer guard petals 

 are broad and deep velvety ma- 

 roon. The central petals are tub- 

 ular and bright orange-yellow in 

 color. Dwarf and compact, and 

 of very uniform growth. Pkt.. 

 25c. 



Yellow Petunia, Dainty Lady 



2458. Award of Merit All-America Selec- 

 tions and also from the Royal Horti- 

 cultural Society. A prize winner last 

 year but unfortunately seed was very 

 scarce. We were delighted with our 

 plants of this fine variety and although 

 not a decided yellow, it blooms more 

 profusely than any of our large flow- 

 ered Petunias. Plants are compact, up- 

 right and bushy; flowers, mostly held 

 erect, are delicate yellow as they first 

 open, changing to a creamy white as 

 the flower ages. Edges of the 

 petals are delicately fringed. We 

 would rate this variety as one of 

 the best of the many recent nov- 

 elties. Pkt., 35c; 3 pkts., $1.00. 



Zinnia Fantasy,! 

 Star Dust 



3191. Award of Merit 1937 All- 

 America Selections. The first 

 separate color selection from 

 the ever-popular Fantasy 

 type. Plants 2V2 to 3 feet 

 tall, literally covered with 

 rich golden yellow blooms. 

 Blooms in about 7 weeks 

 from sowing. Pkt., 25c. 



Cosmos, 

 Early Giant Sensation 



1405. Award of Merit All- America Selections 

 1936, but seed was so scarce that it could 

 not be universally offered. A distinct ac- 

 quisition in Cosmos as the flowers are 

 fully as large as any of the Giant types. 

 They bloom the same time as the early 

 blooming sorts. Plants have very heavy 

 foliage and grow about 4 ft. tall. Pkt.. 25c. 



Scabiosa Grandiflora, Rosette 



2708. A fine new color in Scabiosa, that with Loveli- 

 ness and Peachblossom makes three superb pink 

 Scabiosas. Beautiful deep rose suffused with sal- 

 mon. Flowers are extra large and borne on long 

 stiff stems. Pkt., 25c. 



Scabiosa Grandiflora, Blue Cockade 



2707. The finest and largest deep blue Scabiosa. 

 Award of Merit ». H. S. A fine companion for 

 Rosette. Pkt., 15c. 



Centaurea Cyanus, Jubilee Gem 



1245. Award of Merit All-America Selections 1937. 



A dwarf, bushy form of Centaurea Cyanus suitable 

 for rock gardens. Plants of rounded shape, bearing 

 dark blue, medium-sized flowers. Just as hardy and 

 easy to grow as the tall variety. Pkt., 25c.
