One Thing You Can Afford A Garden Full of Flowers 1 
“BLUE RIBBON” FLOWERS 
New Styles for 1939 Gardens 
EARLY GIANT ASTER 
632 Light Blue. This glorified giant Crego with such 
beautiful lacy flowers is an exceptional cut flower with 
fine keeping qualities and earlier than other giant 
Asters. Its 5-inch blooms on good stems abound with 
attractive light blue curled and interlaced petals. 
Wilt-resistant. (Silver Medal in the All America 
Trials, 1938.) 3 feet. Pkt. 35c. 
CALENDULA 
1601 Twilight. A newcomer to the outstanding Chrys¬ 
anthemum-flowered (Chrysantha) class and a grand 
new color—pastel-yellow blended with white. A bou¬ 
quet of these 4-inch blooms with their long, incurved 
petals, delightfully informal, set on wiry, 15-18 inch 
stems is a picture—handsome in the garden, too. 
Pkt. 25c., large pkt. 60c. 
COSMOS 
2269 Double Sensation, Mixed. Folks do like 
Cosmos flowers, espe- 
ially when quantities of 
them can be had early in 
the season. The Single 
Sensation jumped im¬ 
mediately into popular¬ 
ity for it blooms so early 
and can be enjoyed for 
such a long time. Now 
we are happy to offer 
doubles in a novel vari¬ 
ety of fluted and crested 
forms, many of them as 
much as 4)4-5 inches 
across. We predict that 
you will like these dou¬ 
bles for they are decid¬ 
edly “different.” 
Pkt. 25c. 
CYNOGLOSSUM 
2402 Firmament. A wel¬ 
come new dwarf type of 
Chinese Forget-me-not 
in a bright indigo blue 
and one to combine 
nicely with pink flowers 
—Double Sweet Briar 
Shirley Poppies, for in¬ 
stance. About the easi¬ 
est plant to grow and one that should prove a 
garden favorite. Its 15-18 inch bushy plants are 
literally covered with blooms in season. 
Pictorial Pkt. 35c. 
RUSSELL LUPINES 
A new strain that has created 
a sensation in horticultural cir¬ 
cles—the most outstanding per¬ 
ennial introduction in recent 
years. Awarded the Royal Horti¬ 
cultural Society’s Gold Medal in 
June, 1937. Fancy 3)4-ft. spikes 
with the upper 26 in. a solid mass 
of color and as much as 5 in. in 
diameter! The florets are extra 
large, fan-shaped and flat, and so 
arranged that almost no stem is discernible. The colors, 
too, are striking, rich, and in great variety—deep yel¬ 
low, orange, red, and brilliant bicolors, shades never be¬ 
fore found in Lupines. Sometimes one fails to get a 
“catch” unless bacteria are present in the soil. As a 
precaution, inoculate with Legume-Aid at 15c. per pkt. 
3973 Russell Lupines Mixed. Re-selected Stock, 
originator’s pictorial 
pkts., 12 seeds, 25c.; 
50 seeds, 65c.; 120 
seeds, $1.25 
DELPHINIUM 
(Hardy Larkspur) 
Not since the introduc¬ 
tion of the Hollyhock type 
some 15 years ago has any 
new variety created such 
interest. Easily the larg¬ 
est flowered type ever 
grown. Practically 100% 
double. 
2523 White Pacific 
Giant. Its gigantic in¬ 
dividual blooms compel 
attention. Pkt. 75c.,

3)4 in. across in many 
unique shades will be

MARIGOLD 
4090 Sunrise. A very 
early golden yellow 
Chrysanthemum - flow¬ 
ered variety of medium 
size, unusual in appear¬ 
ance, yet of rare beauty.

to frost. 3-4 ft. Pkt. 15c., large pkt. 40c. 
MORNING-GLORY 
Early Giant Aster, Light Blue—the Wonder Aster 
of the Year 
ANNUAL HOLLYHOCK 
3575 Indian Spring. Imagine a wealth of semi¬ 
double and double fringed flowers in bright rose 
and rosy carmine shades during August! You can 
have them in your garden 6 feet tall, if you will start 
the seed indoors in February. Awarded a Silver 
Medal in the All America Trials last season for its 
excellence. Pictorial Pkt. 35c. 
3682 Scarlett O’Hara. Entirely distinct in flower and 
foliage, this dark wine-red variety promises to be as 
full of interest as the principal character in the novel 
“Gone with the Wind” from which the name was 
taken. Growth starts slowly but it blooms quite early 
and continues to frost. The flowers are of medium size, 
334 inches across, and may be found open even after¬ 
noons. A fine vine for ornamental backgrounds. (Gold 
Medal winner.) Pkt. 25c., large pkt. 50c.
