GERMAIN'S JA/6UT SPECIALTIES 
AND NOVELTIES FOR 1936 
In this section of our catalogue and in the twenty pages illus¬ 
trated in color we are presenting an unusually large and interest¬ 
ing collection of splendid novelties. 
The great interest which our customers have shown in new 
things for the garden has encouraged us to redouble our efforts in 
order to secure for them the cream of the new American as well 
as foreign introductions. It is for this reason that the manager of our 
Flower Seed Department made a special trip to Europe this spring to 
visit the famous flower shows of the Old World, especially the Spring 
Show of the Royal Horticultural Society at Chelsea, in London. 
The map on the left shows a plan of “Chelsea” and gives an idea of the 
scope and magnitude of this great show, the most important annual event in 
the Horticultural World.

We sincerely hope that our increased 
endeavors, reflected in our novelty offers 
for 1936, will bring renewed interest and 
greater satisfaction to all our customers. 
Petunia Flaming Velvet 
J\6ur PETUNIA Gold Medal 
• FLAMING VELVET 
Petunia Flaming Velvet holds the distinction of being the 
Gold Medal winner of this year’s All American Selections. 
Here at last we have that long sought for color in petu¬ 
nias, a deep and vivid red unspoiled by any touch of purple. 
The new variety is well named for the petals in their brilliancy 
and velvety texture bring to mind the glowing softness of Flam¬ 
ing Velvet. The plants are of good uniform bedding habit, com¬ 
pletely covering themselves with large, well rounded flowers and 
the richness of the new color insures a permanent place for 
Flaming Velvet among our most popular bedding petunias. 
Per Packet 25c; 5 Pkts. for $1.00 
GODETIA Cut-Flower Strain 
SUPERB SINGLE MIXED 
QeRMAinis 
Nothing more dainty can be imagined than the satiny 
Ml/flTy lustre of these new Godetia flowers. The delicate petals 
’Up 7 and bright shades resemble those of the Azalea, yet in 
spite of their apparent airy texture they are very resistant, 
holding up splendidly after cutting. Their popularity with com¬ 
mercial growers of cut flowers has been immediate, a short trial 
having convinced them that they are one of the most beautiful 
as well as one of the most practical cut flowers introduced in 
years. And they are even more useful in the garden, doing well 
in almost any soil or location and giving fine results in soils sc 
poor as to be practically useless for any other type of flower. 
Be sure to include them in your garden, you will be more than 
pleased.
