IN 1935 
* ♦ * * * * 
NEW MINIATURE PETUNIA ROSE GEM —Rose Gem is a charming addition 
to the new miniature group of Petimias which w^as 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 popu¬ 
lar. The plant is neat and compact, five to six inches high and smothered 
with rich rose colored blooms about two inches in diameter. Winner of 
Award of Merit in the 1936 All-America Selections. • 
Price per oz. $7.50. 
NEW PHLOX DRUMMONDI GIGANTEA ART SHADES— A new strain of 
Phlox Drummondi with flowers an inch and a quarter to an inch and a half 
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. The colors range as follows: Salmon with w^hite eye, deep 
salmon with cream eye, appleblossom, 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. 
The soft colors blended together make a most beautiful mixture and a color 
combination never before seen in annual Phlox. There is a complete absence 
of harsh colors in this wonderful mixture and it should appeal to those who 
are looking for soft color effects in their gardens. Plants about nine inches 
high. Winner oJ Award oj Merit'in the 1935 All-America Selections. 
Price per oz. $0.85, per lb. $10.00. 
NEW PANSY WALLER-FRANKLIN SPECIAL FORMULA MIXTURE OF 
SWISS GIANTS —This magnificent blend of choice rare colors far sur¬ 
passes in quality and range of color any mixture of Swiss Giants we have 
ever seen. The plants appear more compact than the usual Swiss Giants 
and most of the flowers are beautifully frilled. The Formula Mixture was 
practically the last contribution of the late Dr. Franklin to the field of 
Floriculture and we consider it the supreme Pansy mixture of all time. 
Greatly admired by all visitors to our cultures during 1934 and 1935. 
Price per oz. $6.25, per lb. $75.00. 
NEW MARIGOLD DIXIE SUNSHINE —This is an entirely new Chrysanthe¬ 
mum-flowered type of Marigold. It comes 100% fully double, pleasantly 
without the familiar Marigold odor in the flowers. The brilliant golden 
yellow flower is actually a head of tiny five petalled flowers, a laciniated 
effect. Tall bushy growth, rich green foliage, supporting masses of bright 
flowers on fine stems for cutting. Winner oJ AwardoJ Merit in the 1936 
All-America Selections. • 
Price per oz. $1.00, per lb. $12.00.
