Improved 



dwarf Petunia. 



■eryrVe 



Ageratum, Midget Blue 



577. Plants are very dwarf, seldom over 3 inches high. Foliage is 

 much smaller than is usual for Ageratum and is practically 

 covered by a succession of small true Ageratum-blue flowers. 

 This is really the first Ageratum that grows uniformly dwarf 

 from seed, making it ideal for edging or window boxes. Pkt., 

 25c: 5 for $1.00. 



Petunia, Hollywood Star 



2465 Silver Medal, 1939. This lovely new Petunia offers more 

 than just a new color. The flowers consist of a 5-pointed star 

 as compared to the conventional round shape. Color is a rich 

 lively rose with an amber throat and flowers are borne so pro- 

 fusely that hardly any of the foliage is visible. Just as strong 

 and vigorous growing as the older types. Pkt., 25c. 



Antirrhinum, Colossal, Rosalie 



695. A newer shade in this popular type. Rich deep rose with 

 underlying tone of amber and topaz. Very free flowering. 

 Pkt., 25c. 



Cynoglossum, Firmament 



1287. Bright indigo-blue flowers like Forget-me-nots. Bushy 

 plants about 18 inches tall. Blooms all summer and makes nice 

 cut flowers. Pkt., 25c. 



Gourd, Holy Crown 



1797. Also called Gourd of the Ten Commandments. Cream 

 colored Gourd with ten distinct projecting fingers. Pkt., 25c. 



Hollyhock, Annual, Indian Spring 



1910. New annual Hollyhock that blooms in less than 5 months 

 from seed. Shades of pink, semi-double and nicely frilled. 

 Pkt., 25c. 



Linaria Maroccana, Fairy Bouquet 



2054. One of the daintiest of garden flowers. Plants are dwarf 

 and compact, 10 to 12 inches high and bear 20 to 30 spikes 

 of miniature snapdragon blooms. Colors include all the de- 

 lightful pastel shades. Pkt., 25c. 



Marigold, Dwarf Gigantea, Pot O'Gold 



2160. Quite distinct from the general run of Marigolds, seeming 

 to combine in one plant all the better qualities of other varieties. 

 Plants are dwarf (15 inches high), compact, free flowering and 

 early blooming. Flowers are 4 to 4'/2 inches in diameter, rich 

 golden orange and borne on 10- to 12-inch stems. Pkt., 25c. 



Morning Glory, Scarlett O'Hara 



2273. The 1939 Gold Medal winner and justly so; not since the 

 introduction of Golden Gleam Nasturtiums have the judges of 

 the All-America selections been as enthusiastic about a new 

 flower. Quick growing and early flowering, Scarlett O'Hara is 

 ideal for covering fences and trellises. Flowers are about 4 

 inches in diameter and deep rosy crimson in color. Pkt., 15c. 



Nierembergia Hippomanica 



2346. Beautiful, dwarf bedding plant, fine for beds, borders or 

 window boxes. Ball-shaped plants, about 6 inches high, covered 

 with light blue, saucer-shaped flowers with yellow stamens. A 

 continuous bloomer. Pkt., 50c. 



Petunia, Topaz Rose 



2484. A really outstanding color in Petunias. There are many 

 good pink Petunias, but none quite so striking as Topaz Rose. 

 Blooms are slightly larger than Rosy Morn and deep velvety 

 rose with almost imperceptible flecks of gold, which intensifies 

 the color. Throat is clear topaz. Pkt., 25c. 



Yellow Petunia, Dainty Lady 



2458. Award of Merit All-America Selections and also from the 

 Royal Horticultural Society. Plants are compact, upright and 

 bushy; flowers are delicate yellow as they first open, changing 

 to a creamy white as the flower ages. Edges of petals delicately 

 fringed. Pkt., 35c. 



Petunia, General Washington 



2468. A fine new, dwarf, large-flowered Petunia of the Martha 

 Washington type. Compact, ball-shaped plants covered with 

 3-inch ruffled, rich amaranth-red blooms. Pkt., 3 5c. 



Petunia, Martha Washington 



2467. Ruffled nana compacta type. Ball shaped plants very com- 

 pact and free flowering. Flowers 3 inches in diameter, pink 

 delicately lined with purple. Nicely ruffled. Pkt., 3 5c. 



Phlox Gigantea, Rosy Morn 



2506. Another fine selection from the popular Gigantea Art 

 Shades. Color is deep rose-pink with large, well-defined white 

 eye. Free-flowering, vigorous plants. Pkt., 25c. 



Phlox Gigantea, Salmon Glory 



2504. Pure salmon-pink with distinct creamy white eye. This 

 variety has the largest individual florets of any of the Phlox. 

 Plants are strong and bushy in growth and not inclined to 

 straggle. Pkt., 25c. 



Scabiosa Imperial Giants, Blue Moon 



2703. So different from the older types of Scabiosa that it would 

 be hard to recognize at first glance. The old pin-cushion is 

 entirely gone from the center, being replaced by broad, waxy 

 petals, which makes a much larger bloom. Color is a rich 

 lavender-blue, equally effective indoors or out. Pkt., 25c. 



Stock, Double Giant Column, Gardenia 



2818. The purest white Stock ever introduced. Produces but one 

 giant spike per plant. Individual florets are full double, 2 to 

 2J4 inches in diameter, closely grouped on the top 13 to 14 

 inches of the 3-foot stem. Gardenia is definitely one of the 

 best cut-flower subjects of today. Pkt., $1.00.
