Petunia, Rose Gem 
Award of Merit, 5 judges giving it 39 
points. Dwarf compact type of the Gold 
Medal Pink Gem Petunia and with a much 
more desirable color. Rose of Heaven color, a 
rich rose-pink, somewhat smaller flowers on 8- 
inch plants. This is an exceptionally fine and 
desirable new type and loaded with flowers of 
the best color. The type is still rather variable 
as well as the color of flowers, as reported in 
the trials, but the majority of plants are 
beautiful and it is a fine addition to a desir¬ 
able dwarf type. Pkt. 25c. 
Petunia, Dainty Lady

to this Grandiflora Single Fringed beauty. This 
brings us an entirely new color in Petunias, a 
delicate golden yellow, with beautifully fringed 
or fimbriated petals. Plants are rather com¬ 
pact, half-dwarf. Pkt. 35c. 
Petunia, Improved Rose 
King 
Four judges, 16 points. Hybrida type, large 
and free-flowering rose colored variety of loose 
hit. This is a good type and a good variety

fiety. Pkt. 25c.

period. Daintily interlaced, 
plumy petals and extra large 
size. Pkt. 25c. 
Special Mention 
Antirrhinum, Royal 
Rose 
Four judges, 24 points. While not a 
rust-proof sort, it is an exceptionally 
fine new color, rose-cerise, with extra 
large flowers for this nanum or half¬ 
dwarf type. It seems slightly variable, 
but a grand variety, long season bloom¬ 
ing and fine color. Pkt. 25c. 
Antirrhinum, St. George 
Three judges, 21 points. Like Royal 
Rose, nanum type, with bronze rose or 
coppery orange with deep apricot sheen 
and rose throat. This is also a superb, 
large-flowering Snapdragon, wonderful 
color, seems uniform and true, and long- 
flowering. Not rust-proof. Pkt. 25c. 
Marigold, Dixie Sun¬ 
shine 
Award of Merit, 7 judges giving it 40 
points. This is an entirely new and out¬ 
standing type of this general garden 
favorite. Tall and stately, the richest 
and finest foliage of all Marigolds and 
100 per cent fully double golden yellow 
flowers to last 10 days or longer when 
cut. The most floriferous also, and 
flowers without the objectionable Mari¬ 
gold odor. This is a late flowering 
variety, and should be started quite 
early in the northern section. Flowers 
are really heads of hundreds of tiny 5- 
petalled florets, a dainty fringed 
chrysanthemum-flowered effect. Pkt.
