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. Sunkisf belongs 

 to the Harmony type of Marigolds and 

 has attractive double rich orange 

 blooms. Tr. pkt. 40c; oz. $2.00.

 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 

 l'/2 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. Tr. pkt. 50c; %2 ° z - $1-50.

 4 inches across. Tr. pkt. 30c; oz. $1.50.
