The Flower Seed Debutantes of 1937 







ANTIRRHINUM "MAGIC CARPET" (Annual) 



1142. This new Antirrhinum being of almost a creeping habit, 

 nestles amongst the stones and clothes them as with a carpet. 

 The flowers appear in a variety of soft pink and lavender colors 

 that add greatly to the gaiety of the rock garden during the sum- 

 mer months. (See illustration A.) Pkt 25c 



CHRYSANTHEMUM Segetum fl. pi. 

 "YELLOWSTONE" (Annual) 



187S. The first double Chrysanthemum segetum. The blooms, 

 measuring well up to 4 inches across, have a wonderful substance 

 and are borne on strong stems, up to 15 inches long. The flower- 

 ing period is 2H months, during which time a great profusion of 

 flowers is successively produced. The color is intense sulphur- 

 yellow, a very effective shade both in daylight and in artificial 

 light. (See illustration B.) . . . Pkt. 25c 



LEPTOSYNE GOLDEN ROSETTE (Annual) 



2619. This double form of Leptosyne is sure of a welcome from 

 all flower growers. It is of easy culture and will "succeed almost 

 anywhere." The flowers are of perfect rosette form. The color is 

 bright butter yellow and the blooms are produced in great pro- 

 fusion. As a cut flower it will be found admirable. This may be 

 raised by sowing early in boxes or it may be sown in open ground. 

 It blooms throughout the summer. Height, 18 inches.

MARIGOLD "GOLDEN EAGLET" (Annual) 



2716. Golden Eaglet, the name selected for this new Marigold 

 in honor of the Girl Scouts of America, is a happy and particularly 

 appropriate one, in view of the fact that the Marigold, like the 

 American Girl Scout and the Golden Eaglet, is a purely one hun- 

 dred per cent American Product. 



Golden Eaglet is a pure deep golden orange carnation-flowered 

 Marigold, more brilliant and lovelier than any variety hitherto 

 produced. The flowers are large, over three inches in diameter, 

 perfectly double, and the broad loosely arranged petals present 

 a most artistic appearance. The plant is very vigorous in growth, 

 attaining a height of over two feet, and the flowers are produced 

 on good stems in great abundance. The flowers possess a pleasing 

 scent. (See illustration F.) Pkt. 25c 



MARIGOLD TOM THUMB 



'GOLDEN CROWN" 

 (Annual) 



2733. The Novelty we now present grows about 10 inches high, 

 possessing all the merits of its parent, Guinea Gold. The bright 

 golden yellow flowers, of the same elegant shape and firm substance, 

 are produced in great abundance often to the number of 25 to 30 

 on a full grown plant. Being practically all double the value of 

 "Golden Crown" for the front row of a border can hardly be over- 

 rated. (See illustration D.) Pkt. 25c 



NEW MARIGOLD CHRYSANTHE- 

 MUM FLOWERED HYBRIDS 



(Annual) 



2719. These Hybrids consist of many new and 

 distinct types of Marigolds, varying in size of 

 bloom from two to four inches in diameter. Some 

 of these types have petals which are quilled and 

 incurved; others are imbricated, which have from 

 four to five rows of flat petals, and in the center 

 there are many small quilled florets. The colors 

 contain all shades of orange and yellow. The 

 plants are about three feet high Pkt. 25c 



NEW COLLARETTE 

 MARIGOLD "CROWN 

 OF GOLD" (Annual) 



GOLD MEDAL AWARD 



2714. A new variety of Man- 

 gold with a Chrysanthemum-like 

 top or crown surrounded by a 

 collar of big, broad petals of the 

 same color — bright golden- 

 orange. The plants grow from 

 two to three feet high, twenty or 

 more blossoms being open at one 

 time. It does not have a strong 

 Marigold odor but rather a sweet 

 fragrance. The flower pictured 

 is two inches across the top and 

 two and a half across the lower 

 petals. Some measure three 

 inches across. As a cut flower it 

 lasts a long time :n water.
