RUDBECKIA—Kelvedon Star. 
Kelvedon Star is a beautiful new variety with deep golden yellow 
flowers with a mahogany zone and dark brown center, on stiff 
stems from twelve to eighteen inches long. The flowers are in¬ 
terestingly variable, some with a larger mahogany zone, and 
some with two rows of petals, others have petals with an artistic 
twist. The plants are upright and neat in appearance. Pkt. 25c. 
COSMOS—Sensation. 
Award of Merit. 1936 All American Selections. 
The flowers are mammoth in size, 4 to 5 inches in diameter, with broad, 
heavy fluted petals carried on very long stems. It is extremely 
early flowering, blooming in ten weeks from the time of seeding. 
In mixture only containing shades of white, rose and pink. 
Packet, 25c. 
SNAPDRAGON. Celestial. All-America Selection. 
The plant is of the strong Majestic type, and the beautiful salmon- 
rose flowers are carried on broad, compact 10 inch spikes. This 
is not a rust-resistant type, but if the seed is planted in spring 
and the plant grown in a fast manner in a warm situation very 
little of the fungus will attack. Packet, 50c. 
AGERATUM—Blue Ball Improved. 
This strain is the result of many years' careful selection for form and 
dwarfness, plus size and richness of color in this flower. The 
plants are compact and about four inches high. The growth is 
most uniform and even. The broad green foliage is almost com¬ 
pletely smothered with flowers of the richest shade of blue. 
Packet, 25c. 
MARIGOLD—Sunset Giants. 
Not only are the flowers the largest ever known in the Marigold group 
averaging 5 inches and some flowers attaining a size of 71/2 
inches, but they are produced in such profusion that a plant of 
Sunset Giants is one of the showiest spots in any garden. The 
flowers are loosely formed, very full centered, with broad, heavy 
petals gracefully overlapping to make a flower of great depth 
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. Some variation in size may be expected, but 
they will average 65% double. Packet, 25c. 
FRAGRANT MARIGOLDS. 
CROWN OF GOLD. Gold Medal 1937 All America Selections. An en¬ 
tirely new type of Marigold with a plant entirely free of the 
pungent odor common to these flowers. The flowers are attractive 
and interesting in formation, having a cushion center made up of 
slender interlaced petals, surrounded by a ring of broad ray petals. 
The color is orange throughout. Very free flowering on plants 
about 21/2 feet high. Packet, 25c. 
YELLOW SUPREME. A striking new variety which has already proved 
its worth. On vigorous, freely-branching plants about 2V 2 feet 
high, it produces large fluffy, well-rounded flowers with broad, 
loose, full petals of a rich creamy lemon-yellow color and having 
a delicately mild honey-like fragrance. Besides being a splendid 
garden plant Yellow Supreme is excellent as a cut flower, easily 
lasting a week or more in water. Packet, 25c. 
DWARF FRENCH MARIGOLD—Double Harmony. 
A very charming and distinct type. The flowers are quite different 
from any other marigold, it is Scabiosa-like in formation with 
tubular deep orange center petals flanked by broad velvety dark 
maroon guard petals. The plants are dwarf, about a foot high, 
compact, and extremely free blooming. Packet, 25c.
