Miniature Decorative 
such abundance as to almost hide the bush. The color is amaranth 
with perhaps a suggestion of deep orchid. The demands for it have 
far exceeded our greatest expectations and we are now far sold out 
of roots for 1938. We will have only a limited number of plants. 
Plants $1.00

which resembles a rose bud when partly open. Dainty and ideal for 
decorations. Roots $ .75 Plants $ .50 
SANHICAN’S SWEETHEART. One of the daintiest and finest small 
varieties we have ever grown. Cactus type, extra free flowering, long 
stems making it one of the best for cutting. Color is pale apricot 
suffused shrimp pink. Roots $ .50 
TINY. Min. Peony. A companion variety to Pink Pearl which it re¬ 
sembles in formation. Color is yellow suffused apricot. Roots $ .50 
TEDDY JOHNSON. This has been mentioned as Ball type, but inas¬ 
much as it grows only about three inches in diameter we think it 
more properly fits into the new Miniature section, which is so fast 
becoming popular. It is extremely free in flowering, and it makes 
a rapid compact growth which is ideal for a solid bed or border. 
We also find it very useful for decoration. The color is soft rose pink 
decidedly shaded white. Why not try a dozen for a border or to cover 
an unsightly fence? Roots $ .25 
THE SENTINEL. Miniature decorative. 1933 introduction. Ox-blood 
red about 2% inches in diameter. Very free flowering and a long 
keeper when cut. Roots $ .35 
DAHLIA SEED. Owing to the extremely early frost in the Autumn of 
1937 we have no seed to offer this season.
