PETUNIA, MINIATURE, ROSE GEM 
(1936 Novelty) (Waller-Franklin) 
All America Winner, Award of Merit 
Rose Gem is a charming addition to the new miniature 
group of Petunias which was started with Pink Gem. Rose 
Gem is the color which the public has been asking for in this 
miniature form; it is the rich, deep rose that has made Petunia, 
Rose of Heaven so popular. The plant is neat and compact, 
5 to 6 inches high and smothered with rich rose-colored blooms 
about 2 inches in diameter. Originator’s description.

NOVELTY SWEET PEAS FOR 1936 
EARLY OR WINTER FLOWERING 
Bridesmaid. A delicate, sparkling shade of silver pink; as vigorous 
and healthy and as slim and supple as the name implies. Brides¬ 
maid bids fair to out-strip the field in popularity, as a cut 
flower, in a large table arrangement, large flowers, usually fours, 
on stems 14 to 16 inches long. An ideal variety for shipping. 
Per oz., $1.50; $5.00 per 34 lb.; lb., $18.00. 
Sequoia. An enormous, rich golden cerise color; the flowers 
are so frilled and wings so widespread that unless one looks 
closely he mistakes a single flower for two; the folds of the petals 
have a tinge of russet. Free flowering and a strong, vigorous 
grower. 
Per oz., $1.50; $5.00 per J4 lb.; lb., $18.00. 
Shirley Temple. This Sweet Pea, which we consider the most 
beautiful we have ever originated, was obtained through a cross 
between Pinkie and Lady Gay. It has inherited blooms with the 
size and richness of color in Pinkie, plus the dainty frilled and 
fluted flowers of Lady Gay. The color is softer and more 
beautiful than Pinkie; stems long with four very large blooms 
on each stem. Above is originator’s description. 
Per oz., $2.00; $7.00 per 34 lb.; lb., $20.00.

PHLOX DRUMMONDII GRANDIFLORA 
GIGANTEA, ART SHADES 
(1936 Novelty) 
A new strain with flowers 1J4 to 134 inches in diameter. In 
addition to its enormous flowers (which in itself would be enough 
to justify it as a novelty) it has a most wonderful range of color in 
soft art shades, such as salmon with white eye, deep salmon with 
cream eye, apple blossom, soft rose with white eye, light blue 
with white eye, pale violet with white eye, light mauve with cream 
eye, rose with white eye, and many other pleasing art shades.
