NEW CALENDULA. 
864. CHRYSANTHA. H. A. Received the highest number of points and 
awarded the Gold Medal in the All-American Flower Contest for 1934. See 
front cover. 
A truly remarkable Calendula. Outstanding in fact among all varieties. It 
was first shown last year in England. Believed to have originated in Australia. 
The large Chrysanthemum-shaped flowers measuring 4 inches across are of a 
clear buttercup yellow with long, loosely arranged drooping petals. Besides 
adding a splash of beautiful yellow color to your garden this Calendula also 
makes a fine cut flower. Its stems are long and stiff and the flowers keep 
well in water. Combined with blue flowers such as Delphiniums the effect is 
most striking. Pkt., 20c; 2 pkts., 36c. 
NEW PETUNIA. 
1105. PINK GEM. H. A. Received the second highest number of points 
and awarded a Gold Medal in the 1934 All-American Flower Contest. 
Pipk Gem is the first of a new race of charming miniature petunias (Campacta 
Nana). The neat compact plant grows about 6 inches high and is literally 
smothered with deep pink blossoms. As many as thirty flowers have been 
counted on a single plant. Individual blossoms will measure two inches across. 
Plant this delightful little flower in window boxes, pots, rock gardens, and 
in beds edged with a dwarf blue flower such as Ageratum. Pkt., 20c; 2 pkts., 
35c 
NEW HUNNEMANNIA. 
1001. SUNLITE. H. A. (Bush Escholtzia or Santa Barbara Poppy.) 
Given an award of merit in the 1934 All-American Flower Contest. 
Sunlite is a double-flowered bush poppy which is different, having much the 
appearance of a clear canary yellow tulip, two inches in diameter. The extra 
bands of petals are not on the inside but on the outside making the flower 
appear open even after the cup-like blossoms are closed for the night. The 
foliage is a light grey-green. Grows about 2 feet high. Requires a sunny, 
well drained location. Flowers freely in late summer. Plant after the soil 
becomes warm. Pkt., 15c; 2 pkts., 25c. 
NEW PETUNIA. 
1106. MAXIMUM DOUBLE FRINGED. H. A. Given an award of merit 
in the 1934 All-American Flower Contest. 
Here is a Petunia that comes practically 100% double and semi-double or 
carnation flowered right from the seed. Heretofore most double Petunias have 
had to be propagated from cuttings as only 10 to 15% would come double 
from seed. The flowers are of many brilliant and intermediate colors. Very 
large, actually measuring as much as five inches across and exquisitely ruffled 
and fringed. It makes a very beautiful pot plant and a showy display in the 
window box. Originated in Yokohama, Japan. Pkt., 25 seeds, 25c; 2 pkts., 40c. 
NEW VENIDIUM. 
1308. FASTUOSUM. (Monarch of the Veldt.) H. A. This flower was a 
1933 All-American Winner and a wonderfully beautiful flower. Its weak fea¬ 
tures here in the north are that it requires about 90 days from planting time to 
blossom and it will not stand transplanting. However in spite of these objec¬ 
tions it has some remarkable qualities that entitle it to consideration. Under 
favorable conditions it will prove an all-around favorite. 
The plant, of a silky grey color, grows about 3 feet tall; flowers are rich 
orange daisy-like and about 4 inches in diameter with a purple-black zone 
at the base of the petals. The flowers are borne on long stiff stems which 
will keep for weeks in bouquets. It can be planted in the cut flower garden 
or in the border where it will make a very showy display late in the summer. 
Plant in a sunny, well drained location. Pkt., 20c; 2 pkts., 35c.
