NOVELTIES FOR 1938 
The All America Selections for 19S8 
PETUNIA SALMON SUPREME (AM) 
A brand new color to Petunias that has long been wanted. 
The flowers 2 in. across are rich coral-salmon when opening, 
changing as they mature to glistening soft salmon-pink with 
accentuated lighter throat. Plants are a uniform height of 
1 ft. with a spread of iy 2 ft. with flowers all carried above the 
foliage. Pkt. 35c. 
PANSY CORONATION GOLD (AM) 
This new Giant Pansy is the largest yellow pansy yet intro¬ 
duced with flowers to 3 inches across. Of lovely texture; the 
plants free blooming but compact; the color a pleasing shade 
of pure deep yellow, suffused golden orange without eye. 
Flowers are rounded with lightly ruffled edges and spicy scent. 
Pkt. 50c. 
CALLIOPSIS GOLDEN CROWN (AM) 
Flowers are a third larger than the familiar varieties of 
rich deep gold, mostly with a double row of petals and they 
have a pleasing fragrance. A notable addition to these popular 
and easily grown garden and cut flowers. Pkt. 25c. 
CALENDULA ORANGE FANTASY (AM) 
New, true to form and distinct this lovely variety is an en¬ 
tirely new type. The first row of petals on the outside are long 
and beautifully twisted; the inner petals are short and fan¬ 
tastically curled and interlaced, piling up on top of each other 
in irregular fashion to form a heavy crest which surrounds a 
large and attractive mahogany bronze center. Flowers 3% in. 
across of a deep but pleasing coppery-orange. Height 15 ins. 
Pkt. 25c. 
PETUNIA TOPAZ ROSE (SM '38) 
I have never seen a Petunia so brilliant, so uniform in height 
and color and above all in the tests I was privileged to make 
it did not burn in hottest sun. Fifteen inches high with pleas¬ 
ing soft green foliage. The flowers completely smothered the 
plant all summer and are a fiery velvety rose of scintillating 
brilliance, slightly suffused gold and with throat of topaz. 
Pkt. 25c, 3 pkts. for 60c. 
MARIGOLD GOLDEN WEST (Rec. '38) 
Of the carnation-flowered type, it is earlier, larger and more 
free-blooming than Guinea Gold. Flowers are fully double, 
bright, rich orange, 3% inches across with petals loosely and 
gracefully placed and of wonderful substance. About 2 y 2 ft. 
tall and quite long stems. Blooms in about 15 weeks from seed. 
Pkt. 25c. 
ZINNIA NAVAJO MIXED—Gaillardia Flowered 
(Rec. ’38) 
With lovely two-toned mellow shades of rose, pink, bronze, 
yellow and orange and combinations of these colors after the 
pattern of a Navajo rug in form the flowers resemble those of 
the double Gaillardia. They are 2 inches across on good stems 
and are particularly nice for table decorations and make most 
novel garden effects. 2 ft. tall. Flower in about 45 days from 
seed. Pkt. 15c; oz. 60c. 
ASTER CREGO ENCHANTRESS (Rec.) 
(Wilt Resistant)

shade of lively salmon-rose of the well known Crego type so 
valuable for cutting and the garden. Flowers are large and of 
fine substance flowering in early Sept. Pkt. 20c; 3 for 50c. 
GIANT COMET ASTER ILLUSION (Rec.) 
(Wilt Resistant) 
Still another new color to Asters, Illusion is a soft pastel 
shade of apricot-pink, the flowers borne on upright plants 2 
ft. tall and are particularly lovely in combination with blue.
