NEW FLOWER SEED CREATIONS 
For Brighter Gardens in 1939 
GIANT MARIGOLD 
4074 Orange Sunset. Its huge, loosely formed flowers 
are a rich, lively shade of orange borne on strong, 
3-foot plants, branching in habit with profuse foliage. 
Each is full-centered with broad, heavy and wavy 
petals that gracefully overlap—ideal for bold effects. 
Like its parents, the handsome Sunset Giants, Orange 
Sunset has wonderful decorative value. 
Pkt. 15c., large pkt. 35c. 
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 each with a clear yellow eye. Hardy 
with protection outside; only 4 to 6 in. high and 
highly ornamental. Pkt. 35c. 
EXCEPTIONAL PETUNIAS 
5306 Dainty Lady. The nearest yellow to date—a 
good sized, single, fringed variety of a light, creamy 
yellow. Pkt. 50c. 
5277 Ruffled Giant, Marilyn. A beautiful, upright 
variety bearing quantities of extra large, open throat¬ 
ed, 4-5 in. flowers of a stunning salmon rose. Lighter 
on the edges. We can recommend it highly. 
Pkt. 35c., large pkt. $1.25 
PHLOX DRUMMONDI 
5397 Salmon Glory. Exceptional in size and beauty, 
this 10 in. variety bears immense trusses of soft but 
rich salmon-pink florets with creamy white eyes. 
It is a novelty for boxes, bedding or cutting. (Silver 
Medal.) Pkt. 25c., large pkt. 65c. 
Russell Lupines will produce gigantic spikes and in mar¬ 
velous colors—shades never before seen in the species 
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 rust-resistant strains. Why 
not grow a bed of them this year ? 
MAXIMUM, or SUPER GIANTS— 33 inches tall 
Pkt. 25c., large pkt. 75c. 
221 Alaska. A pure white of the largest size.

and white tube.

SNAPDRAGON 
361 Guinea Gold. An excellent bedding variety to 
introduce orange, gold and terra cotta shades to 
the garden for this is a remarkably handsome new 
sort. Its strong spikes bear its ideally placed flow¬ 
ers well above the foliage and in quantity. 12-18 in. 
Not rust resistant. Pkt. 20c. 
SCABIOSA 
6469 Blue Moon. Blue annuals are not plentiful, so 
this remarkable cut flower should be heartily wel¬ 
comed by flower lovers. It is a new, beehive type, 
each head composed of broad, heavy, wavy petals 
and fully double without the familiar pincushionlike 
centers. The frequent weak necks of the older type 
have been completely eliminated so this deep lav¬ 
ender-blue is well nigh perfect for cutting. 3 ft. 
Pkt. 25c., large pkt. 60c. 
VERBENA 
8182 Bonariensis. Growing to a height of 4 ft. this 
lovely variety bears during July and August numer¬ 
ous terminal sprays of rosy lavender. Though a 
hardy perennial it is easily and wisely grown as a 
half-hardy annual and promises to become a valu¬ 
able addition to our list of plants grown for cutting. 
Pkt. 50c. 
FANTASY ZINNIAS 
8693 Orange Lady. A new and highly desirable cut 
flower in a deep, bright orange color. Medium sized, 
2)^-3 in. rounded flowers of a shaggy, gay appear¬ 
ance. Pkt. 25c., large pkt. 65c. 
8695 Rosalie. A bright intense rose selection—espe¬ 
cially good. Pkt. 25c., large pkt. 65c.
