Marigold Crown of Gold 
The plants of the Collarette 
Marigold Crown of Gold are 
absolutely uniform in every re¬ 
spect, including such desirable 
characteristics as height of plant, 
general habit of plant, time of 
flowering, and character, size, 
shape, and colorof flower heads. 
Individual plants deviate very 
little from the average height of 
twenty-four inches. Th e lower 
branches are clustered near the 
ground level, while the higher 
branches are sub-opposite or alternate on the main 
stem. The principal stem runs through the plant and 
determines its ultimate height. The lower-most lateral 
branches are ascending, but are only about three- 
fourths the length of the main stem so that the plant 
assumes a top-shaped habit. The plants are extremely 
floriferous, which gives to a plant in full bloom the 
appearance of a large orange top with a green base. 
The oil glands which occur in the leaves of other 
varieties of Marigolds and give to them their char¬ 
acteristic pungent odor are entirely absent or occur 
only as non-functional vestigial structures. As a con¬ 
sequence, the Collarette Marigold is entirely free 
from the pungent odor in all plant parts. The 
blossoms have a delicate but very delightful fragrance. 
Seeds sown out of doors in the spring develop 
into plants that begin to bloom in July, and con¬ 
tinue blooming until they are killed by frost. Pkt. 25c. 
Sweet Pea Shirley Temple 
We take real pleasure and pride in presenting to 
you this lovely new Sweet Pea, which, we believe, 
will soon become as popular with American garden 
lovers as the little cinema favorite, Shirley Temple. 
This Sweet Pea which we consider the most 
beautiful we have ever offered, 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. The flowers are the largest 
we have ever seen on any Sweet Pea and it has 
long stems with four very large blooms on each stem. 
We strongly urge everyone to include Shirley 
Temple in their sweet pea bed this year. Packets

Marigold Sunset Giant 
These lovely Marigolds have the outstanding 
characteristics of being very showy, fragrant and 
exceptional in size. Not only are the flowers the 
largest ever known in the Marigold group, aver¬ 
aging 5 inches, but they are produced in such pro¬ 
fusion that a plant of Sunset Giants is one of the 
showiest spots in any garden. This lovely variety of 
MARIGOLD CROWN OF GOLD 
Marigold is also free of any unpleasant odor so 
common in most varieties of this flower. 
The flowers are loosely formed, very full centered, 
with broad, heavy petals gracefully overlapping 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. Packets 25c. 
Dwarf Double Golden Globe Nasturtium 
This Gem Mixture, developed in response to the 
demand for a more compact growing strain of the 
semi-double, sweet-scented Gleam Nasturtiums, is 
the ideal annual for border and edging use. The 
plants are truly dwarf and compact, totally without 
runners, and hold their compact form even in rainy 
climates where they will be a boon to garden 
makers. An excellent color range which includes 
shades of yellow, orange, scarlet, crimson, salmon, 
cerise, cream, maroon and spotted varieties. Packets 
20c. 
Flaming Velvet Petunia 
This lovely Petunia has caused a sensation because 
of the uniform excellence of its velvety, rich, blood- 
red flower. It has not yet been widely grown, but 
after this year will be classed among the popular 
Petunia varieties. The plants are semi-compact in 
habit, absolutely uniform, and the flowers are large 
and borne in great profusion. We are fortunate in 
being able to offer our customers a stock which is 
completely true. Packets 25c.
