Petunia, Dainty Lady 
Petunia, Single Fringed, 
Dainty Lady 
Not for many years has an entirely new color in Petunias been 
introduced to the gardening public. Various new shades of rose, 
pink, blue and crimson may be expected from season to season, 
but we now present for your critical approval a distinct new hue 
in the Petunia color cycle—delicate golden yellow. Dainty Lady, 
the remarkable new Petunia introduction, is to the best of our 
knowledge, the first really yellow Petunia. It has been in the 
process of development for the past ten years, gradually but 
surely deepening the color. 
The plants are neat, compact, semi-dwarf and free-flowering, 
bearing generous quantities of the medium-sized, delicately- 
fringed light golden yellow flowers throughout the summer. 
Award of Merit 1936 All-America Selections. Also award of 
merit by the Royal Horticultural Society of England. Pkt., 35c. 
Petunia, Dwarf White Glory 
This is the nearest to the “White Cloud’’ but is much whiter, 
dwarfer and more compact, than the other. 
The flowers are the purest white and the uniformity of the 
dwarf, compact growth is marvelous. We think this is one of 
the best large-flowering single white Petunias ever raised. (Height 
10-12 inches). Fkt., 40c.

Marigold Gigantea, Sunset Giants 
Marigold Sunset Giants is a Novelty from California; it 
is said to have the largest known flowers in the Marigold 
group, averaging 5 inches and some flowers attaining a size 
of 7% inches across; they are produced in great profusion; 
instead of the usual Marigold odor these flowers have a def¬ 
initely sweet fragrance. They are loosely formed, very 
full centered, with broad, heavy petals gracefully over¬ 
lapping to make a flower of great depth and even larger 
than Dahlia Flowered Zinnias. Sunset Giants is a mixture 
ranging from deep orange through golden orange, deep 
golden yellow, light yellow, lemon-yellow, and a delightful 
new shade of primrose. The strain comes from 60 to 65 
per cent double. The plants are normally 3% to 4 ft. high, 
but under favorable conditions have been known to grow 
as much as 7 ft. high. Pkt., 25c. (See illustration page 23). 
Marigold, Tom Thumb 
"Golden Crown" 
Marigolds have of late years been very largely in the 
public eye and none have attained a greater reputation 
than the new well-known Guinea Gold, which was intro¬ 
duced in 1929. The Novelty we now present is a dwarf 
form, about 10 inches high possessing all the merits of its 
parent. The bright golden yellow flowers, larger and of 
the same elegant shape and firm substance, are produced 
in great abundance often to the number of 25 to 30 on a 
full grown plant. Being practically all double the value 
of “Golden Crown” for the front row of a border can 
hardly be overrated. We may add that this Novelty is 
quite distinct from that being offered as Collarette Crown 
of Gold. Pkt. 25c. 
Nasturtium, Tom Thumb Double 
Globe " Firebrand ” 
The impetus given by the introduction of the semi¬ 
double Nasturtiums is still in force and new types continue 
to be evolved. Of these the Globe section has no doubt 
the greatest future, being the most desirable by reason of 
its merit and compact habit. As a result of hybridiza¬ 
tion and careful selection we are able to present a variety 
of globular form, having the dark leaf of Nasturtium Tom 
Thumb “Fireball,” and which throws its semi-double flow¬ 
ers of a brilliant cerise-scarlet well above the not to lux¬ 
uriant foliage. It will undoubtedly prove a valuable addi¬ 
tion to our summer bedding plants. Pkt., 25c. 
Miniature Petunia, 
Brilliant Rose Gem 
We now take pleasure in offering a pretty fairly-like 
Miniature Petunia. Brilliant Rose Gem is a very rich, 
deep rose with a slight suffusion of scarlet. The general 
effect is very brilliant and pretty. 
We recommend Brilliant Rose Gem for those who want 
a strong color. One that will withstand the utmost in hot 
strong sunlight. The plant is neat and compact, five to six 
inches high, literally smothered with blooms about two 
inches in diameter. Pkt., 25c. 
Petunia, Dwarf Rose Bedder 
When in full bloom, height averages 9 inches, spread of 
11 inches. Compact habit, dome shaped plants covered 
with large Tyrian rose single flowers, 2% inches across, 
with golden throat. 35 blopms and partly opened buds 
were counted on one plant. Has a better habit, is more 
compact, has brighter color, and is larger flowered than 
Ball’s Celestial Rose. Much deeper, more compact habit 
than Rosy Morn. Is quite distinct in color and habit.
