BLUE RIBBON” FLOWERS 
FASCINATING ASTERS 
624 Aurora, Golden Sheaf. You should enjoy growing 
this unusual variety with such charm as a cut flower. 
Others have admired it and remarked on its rare 
color, for Golden Sheaf is the nearest yellow Aster 
to date. Deep yellow in the bud, it turns to a rich 
cream on opening. Each long-stemmed, double 
bloom has a pronounced cushioned center of quilled 
petals, surrounded by longer, broad ones. Branch¬ 
ing in type. 2 ft. tall. Wilt-Resistant. 
Pkt. 25c., large pkt. 65c. 
Imbricated Pompons. With more and more atten¬ 
tion being focused on miniature forms of our fore¬ 
most garden flowers, we believe our friends will take 
special interest in these novel Asters that bloom 
toward the end of August. The plants are upright, 
compact, about 15 inches tall, and bear numerous 
small, round, double blooms with full cushioned 
centers. Useful as pot plants or for bedding, though 
primarily grown for cutting. Often the whole plant 
is cut as a unit. Not Wilt-Resistant. Your choice, 
Separate Colors or Mixed, 20c., large pkt. 50c. 
AN EXTRA EARLY 
COSMOS 
2273 Sensation Mixed. (Award 
of Merit, All America Selec- 
lections, 1936). What a pic¬ 
ture these 4 to 6 ft. bushy 
plants present in August when 
in full bloom! Not only do 
the mammoth flowers decor¬ 
ate the garden, but they are 
especially valuable as cut 
flowers, so large and graceful 
are they. Blooming within 10 
weeks from the sowing of seed, 
Sensation has prime interest 
to gardeners admiring the chaste beauty of the 
Cosmos. Plant at least 3 ft. apart to let the plants 
fully develop and disbud, if you wish to increase the 
size of the flowers that normally are 4 inches across. 
Only pink and white colors, with an occasional red, 
will be found in the mixture. This variety is without 
a close rival. Pkt. 25c., large pkt. 75c.

DOUBLE DWARF 
CORNFLOWER 
I960 Jubilee Gem. (Award 
of Merit, All America 
Selections, .1937). We of- 
ered this English flower 
seed novelty last year and 
it proved to be one of the 
finest of the season, and 
we can confidently rec¬ 
ommend it again. One of 
the hardiest of annuals 
and adapted to general 
planting. Jubilee Gem 
possesses the same vivid 
and delightful shade of 
blue as found in our popu¬ 
lar Double Deep Blue 
Cornflower (No. 1970). 
The quite bushy, dwarf 
plants present a hand¬ 
some appearance when 
in their prime. A fine 
edging plant and a highly 
desirable one for the cool greenhouse. Plan for a 
continuous supply of blooms throughout the Summer 
by sowing in succession for several weeks. You will 
be greatly pleased with results. 12 inches.

Jubilee Gem, an outstanding new variety of Cornflowers, 
one garden annual anyone can grow successfully 
EXCEPTIONAL 
PETUNIAS 
5306 Dainty Lady. (Award 
of Merit, All America 
Selections, 1936) The 
closest approach to a yel¬ 
low Petunia yet seen. 
Though judged last year, 
there was insufficient seed 
to allow its dissemina¬ 
tion, but this year, we be¬ 
lieve, there is a fair sup¬ 
ply, so all can try it in 
some dry, sunny spot and 
enjoy its beauty. Its 
good-sized single, fringed 
blooms of a light creamy 
yellow, with a suffusion 
of golden yellow, give it 
a claim for attention. In 
habit the plants, perhaps 
15 inches tall, are rather 
compact. Try it as border 
to Elk’s Pride, the grand 
royal purple. Pkt. 35c. 
5323 Flaming Velvet. 
(Gold Medal, All America 
Selections, 1936.) Plan 
to grow this outstanding 
rich, blood-red Petunia in 
a bed in full sunshine and 
see how lovely it is. In 
the sunlight all its velvety texture and richness of 
the shade is brought out. It is a glorious variety of 
medium size for blossoms all Summer long to lend 
enchantment to your garden. Be sure to include it 
in your seed order. Pkt. 25c., large pkt. 75c. 
A DWARF PERENNIAL GAILLARDIA 
2978 Goblin. The first dwarf compact hardy perennial variety. Literally covered with beautiful, two-colored 
flowers, on stems long enough to be useful when cut. Especially suited to the rockery or as an edging plant 
in many perennial borders. If sown in March or April, the plants will flower the first year. Pkt. 25c.
