NICOTIANA 
BRECK'S SNOWSTORM 
Showers of snowy white, fragrant 
flowers borne on slender, wiry stems 
that are continually produced from 
the center of compact rosettes of 
leathery dark green foliage. Entirely 
different from all other Nicotianas. 
Each year we have to measure this 
outstanding specialty of ours against 
new introductions of unquestioned 
merit, and each year we vote it a 
place at the top of the list. The illus¬ 
tration below is natural size. See it in 
color opposite page 32. Pkt. 25c. 
AGERATUM 
FAIRY PINK 
A dwarf, compact Ageratum of a 
delightful soft rose-pink color. Fairy 
Pink begins blooming when hardly 
more than a robust seedling, and it 
continues to grow and branch until 
it has formed a solid, compact mass 
of blooms. Its ultimate height when 
full grown is under 6 inches, which 
makes it very desirable for border¬ 
ing flower-beds. Illustrated in color

PETUNIA 
BRECK’S 
VELVETY VIOLET 
Year after year this out¬ 
standing Breck specialty 
adds thousands of new 
names to its long list of 
admirers because it provides 
such a splendid contrast 
with all other colors in the 
garden, whatever they may 
be. The plants are of spread¬ 
ing habit, free branching,and 
free blooming. The color is 
an intense deep violet-blue, 
with a decided velvety sheen 
and it is a wonderful plant 
for window-boxes and gen¬ 
eral use in beds or borders.

Award of Merit, 
1938 All-America Selections 
Gardeners all over the world have 
been looking a long, long time for a 
really true soft salmon-pink Petunia 
that had no trace of blue in it. In 
Salmon Supreme we have just this 
very thing. The flowers are about 2 
inches across and when first opening 
they are coral-salmon. They do not 
fade in the usual sense of the word 
but they soften to a light salmon- 
pink as they age. Plant-habit is 
spreading but not sprawling. Don’t 
fail to try this. See color illustration 
opposite page 17. Pkt. 35c. 
Annual Chrysanthemums will 
surely come into more prominence 
with the advent of this beautiful and 
fully double variety with quilled 
petals. Golden Crown represents a 
wide break-away from the types that 
are familiar to all of us. It has the 
robust constitution of the Coronarium 
varieties, making vigorous and strong 
well-branched plants 3 to 4 feet in 
height. The flowers are produced 
freely, a single plant carrying a mass 
of bloom at one time. The foliage is 
of an attractive shade of silvery 
green; the flowers are bright butter- 
yellow. Pkt. 35c.
