NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1939 
AND PRECEDING YEARS 
2192—MORNING GLORY 
SCARLETT O’HARA 
2001—LUPINUS, RUSSELL HYBRIDS 
Few plants are easier to grow or give a 
more colorful and satisfying return for the 
care given them than the Ipomeas or Morn¬ 
ing Glories. Scarlett O’Hara is an entirely 
new color in this popular flower—rich dark 
wine red or deep crimson. The flowers are 
of good size, freely produced on fast grow¬ 
ing vines which are very showy for covering 
a fence or trellis. The foliage, which is a 
fairly dark green, is not heavy, making a 
plant graceful in appearance. Scarlett 
O’Hara will undoubtedly be one of the popu¬ 
lar Morning Glory varieties. Pkt. 25c. 
2316—NIEREMBERGIA HIPPOMANICA 
(Dwarf Cup Flower—See Back Cover) 
Of all the hundreds of new flower intro¬ 
ductions which have come under our obser¬ 
vation during the course of the past few 
years, none has caused so much comment as 
this little Dwarf Cup Flower, Nierembergia 
Hippomanica. It will outbloom any flower. 
It starts flowering when the plants are only 
about two inches tall, that is about 15 weeks 
after the seed is sown, and keeps on right up 
until the heavy frosts of late fall. It is at 
all times neat and tidy looking, the young 
flowers coming and covering the older 
flowers and seed pods. The lovely lavender 
blue shade, heightened by a touch of yellow 
in the center, is most charming. Plants are 
definitely dwarf, compact—streamlined, if 
you will—and not over 5 or 6 inches tall, 
and with a spread of only 8 to 10 inches. 
Foliage is light gray green, very inconspicu¬ 
ous, and there are literally dozens of flowers 
in bloom at a time throughout the summer. 
As an edging plant, for the border along a 
walk, or to outline beds of larger flowers, it 
has no equals, while for use in the rockery 
it is unexcelled and is extremely lovely in a 
window box or in flower pots. It is a half 
hardy perennial. Pkt. 25c. 
2819—SCABIOSA IMPERIAL GIANTS 
BLUE MOON (See Back Cover) 
This new Scabiosa is fully double with 
pincushion eliminated entirely. Flower 2% 
inches across and is of a deep lavender blue, 
a shade which maintains its effectiveness in¬ 
doors or out. Upright in growth on heavy 
wiry stems 36 inches in height. Flower 
proudly erect and ideal for cutting. We hon¬ 
estly believe that this will be one of the out¬ 
standing flowers of 1939. Pkt. 25c. 
A most remarkable new strain of 
Hardy Lupines from Great Britain 
The wide publicity given to these new 
Lupines in all the leading gardening papers 
of this country is bound to induce many gar¬ 
deners to give them a trial during the com¬ 
ing year. The Russell Hybrid Lupines have 
proved the most outstanding hardy Lupine 
ever developed. A Gold Medal awarded by 
the Royal Horticultural Society of Great 
Britain in June, 1937, is ample proof as to 
what English gardening experts think about 
it. The plants grow into well-rounded, well- 
branched bushes, each developing a number 
of extra-large spikes closely set with 
flowers. One of the most outstanding fea¬ 
tures of this strain is the range of beautiful 
colors—deep yellow, orange, red, and bril¬ 
liant bicolor combinations never seen here 
before in hardy Lupines. 
12 seeds 25c; 50 seeds 65c 
1205—NEW DWARF DOUBLE CORN¬ 
FLOWER—Jubilee Gem 
Award of Merit, All-America Selections, 
1937. Jubilee Gem is a dwarf variety of 
Cornflower making a compact plant literally 
covered with flowers. The plant is about 
12 inches in height. Easy to grow, it is 
“everyone’s” flower and is adaptable for al¬ 
most any purpose to which a plant may be 
put. As an edging plant, a border plant, 
or for ground work in formal beds of roses, 
etc., it will be found admirable. Pkt. 15c.
