Jubilee Gem 
Ali-America Award of Merit 
1385. An entirely new type of 
Double Blue Annual Cornflower 
only 12 inches in height. Its foliage 
is distinct from all other Cornflow' 
ers, forming a tufted mass of vivid 
green, contrasting well with the 
dark but vivid double blue flowers.

or border plant, makes a fine cut 
flower as well as pot plant. Pkt., 25c. 
See page 46 for other Corn' 
flowers. 
Dwarf Marigold 
Double Harmony 
1827. A remarkable break in the 
Dwarf French section of Marigolds 
which differs from all existing forms 
in its habit and shape and coloring 
of its flowers. The latter, almost 
suggesting those of a Scabiosa, are 
a bright golden yellow bordered 
with a rich maroon'red. A most 
striking and effective combination 
of tints. The plants being about 12 
inches high, and very bushy habit, 
are excellent for bedding; good for 
cutting. Pkt., 15c; M oz., 65c. 
Heavenlu Blue 
Morning I Glory 
1718. Improved Early Flowering. 
(New). One of the few flowers of true 
blue, and probably one of the finest of 
all Morning Glories. Flowers measure 
3>/2 to 4 inches across, deep blue with 
white throat. They bloom profusely and for 
a long season, opening in the morning, facing 
the sun. While many have easy success sowing 
the seed in the open ground, others prefer to 
sow two seeds in a 3'inch pot indoors in April, 
and by the end of May plunge pot in the place 
where they are to bloom. They are then sure 
to produce many flowers. Use gravelly, sandy 
soil and give southern exposure. Pkt., 15c; M 
oz., 40c; oz., #1.50. 
Dwarf Marigold 
Double Harmony 
Cornflower Jubilee Gem 
Crown of Gold Marigold 
Autumn Tints Mixed Scabiosa Zinnia 
2395. Scabiosa'Flowered Zinnias are becoming increasingly popular. 
They make a good cut flower, graceful and easy to arrange. This strain 
has lovely coloring of autumn foliage tints. Pkt., 15c; % oz., 60c. 
Crown of Gold Marigold 
Gold Medal Winner, All-America 
1810. An entirely new type of Marigold, developed in California. 
The top part of the flower resembles a chrysanthemum and is made up 
of long, disc petals that beautifully interlace. The collarette has big, 
broad petals which surround it and are of a bright, pleasing shade of 
clear golden orange. The color holds even when the flowers are old. The 
flowers are sweet scented. The foliage is entirely free of the usual 
Marigold odor. 2 feet tall, blooms early; fine for cutting. Pkt., 25c. 
New Early Mammoth Sensation 
Mixed Cosmos 
Award of Merit—All-America 
1470. Sensation outclasses all other Cosmos as to size of flower. They 
bloom in about eight weeks from sowing and attain a size of from 4 to 
6 inches across; long, strong stems add to their merit as also their ability 
to keep a long time after cutting. Pkt., 15c; oz., 75c.
