NEW FLOWER SEED CREATIONS 
For Brighter Gardens 
NIEREMBERGIA (Dwarf Cup Flower) 
4850 Hippomanica. From seed sown under glass in 
early Spring, compact, rounded little plants will grow 
and throw the first year an abundance of corymbs of 
salver-shaped, delicate lavender flowers an inch or 
more in diameter. A clear yellow eye will adorn each 
blossom. The plants that are hardy with protection 
outside become only 4 to 6 in. high and are highly 
ornamental; a gem outside. Pkt. 35c- 
Nierembergia hippomanica is a novel, little plant 
for you to grow in your rock garden 
EXCEPTIONAL PETUNIAS 
5306 Dainty Lady. The nearest yellow to date—a 
good sized, single, fringed variety of a light, creamy 
yellow with a suffusion of golden yellow. Rather com¬ 
pact in habit, 15 in. tall, and useful for all purposes 
Petunias are adapted to. Pkt- 50c. 
5331 Salmon Supreme. At last we have a salmon 
pink Petunia—one that is good for beds, borders and 
edgings. It received an Award of Merit in the 1938 
All America Trials. It produces nicely rounded plants 
about a foot tall, branches freely and blooms with 
great freedom. Medium sized, single, plain edged 
flowers of a rich coral salmon and lighter throat mark 
this variety. Start seed indoors in March for a long 
season of bloom. Originator’s pkts. 35c. 
NOVEL ZINNIAS 
8724 Linearis. A most interesting, dwarf, early bloom¬ 
ing, miniature-flowered variety smothered with at¬ 
tractive, single blossoms. A lovely shade of golden- 
orange with a delicate lemon-yellow stripe through 
the center of each petal and boldly contrasting dark 
brown centers. It is easy of culture and will flower in 
about 6 weeks after sowing when only 5 to 6 in. high. 
The plants attain about 10 in. in height, but will 
spread to almost 2 ft. in width, and continue as a mass 
of flowers until frost. Pkt. 25c., large pkt. 60c. 
8728 Navajo (Gaillardia-flowered). Delightful minia¬ 
ture flowers, most of them two-toned with a ring of 
deeper color toward the centers. About 2 in. in diam¬ 
eter with stems of medium length on 2-ft. plants and 
blooming in about 45 days from the sowing of seed. 
The colors of these mostly double flowers range 
through the mellow tones of rose, bronze, yellow, 
orange and lavender. Pkt- 15c., large pkt. 50c. 
RUST-RESISTANT SNAPDRAGONS 
Just as Wilt-resistant Asters have succeeded the 
ordinary strains, Rust-resistant “Snaps” are rapidly 
replacing others susceptible to that disease which often 
takes such toll in Milady’s garden. Every garden maker 
ought to appreciate what commercial florists already 
know, that it pays to grow this rust-resistant strain. 
Why not grow a bed of them this year ? The varieties 
we offer are a choice selection of the many now available.

grounds and a showy one remarkable for its freedom 
from diseases and pests. Fireball is an improved vari¬ 
ety of the older variety in a vibrant shade of scarlet- 
orange and contrasting clear yellow centers. Start the

sunny location, water freely and you will be rewarded
