Annual Lupin, 
"Attraction" 
This very pleasing hardy an¬ 
nual lupin has flowers of a very 
soft and attractive shade of 
pure rose-pink. The centers of 
the flower standards carry a 
golden yellow shading when 
young, which gradually deep¬ 
ens to a helio-tone. The blooms 
a.re very sweet-scented, and 
contrast admirably with the 
typical lupin-like foliage. Pkt.,

Morning Glory, 
Scarlett O'Hara 
The name of this bright red morning 
glory is taken from the leading character 
in ‘’Gone With the Wind,” America’s most 
popular novel in many years. Scarlett 
O’Hara is quite early to bloom, a carne- 
lian-red, sometimes called carmine, self 
color, is of medium size, about 314 inches 
across, blooms until frost and remains 
open longer than other morning glories. 
Blooms are found open even in afternoon. 
Growth starts a bit slowly and should be 
assisted in twining. Foliage is quite dis¬ 
tinct, each leaf with one large and two 
small size lobes. Scarlett O’Hara is the 
only Gold Medal winner in two years, hav¬ 
ing received the Gold Medal in the 1937 
trials but held over owing to the lack of 
seed. Again in 1938 the All-America 
Selections it was awarded the Gold Medal.

Marigold, Early Sunshine 
A very early flowering and dwarf strain 
of Dixie Sunshine, true and distinct, grow¬ 
ing about 24 inches tall and bushy, this was the first marigold to bloom 
in the trial gardens. Foliage is yellowish green, 2 to 214 inches incurved 
petaled lemon or sulphur-yellow flowers are freely produced. Awarded 
a Bronze Medal All-America Selections for 1938. Pkt., 25c. 
Microsperma, "Golden Tassel" 
Growing not more than 8 or 9 inches high, forms a compact plant of 
perfect shape with handsome light green foliage strikingly like that of 
a Chinese primula. The upright-growing bright chrome-yellow flowers, 
consisting of a graceful five-lobed trumpet-shaped corolla 2 inches 
across, are adorned with a multitude of similar colored stamens, which 
add greatly to their beauty and give them an original charm. This 
beautiful plant is suited for greenhouse decoration and should do well 
in the open border. Sowings should be made inside about the end of 
February or March, the seedlings repotted and put out-of-doors at the 
end of May. Pkt., 25c. 
Phlox Gigantea, Salmon Glory 
Salmon Glory is th'e first good salmon in the phlox Drummondi gigantea 
type. The individual florets are gigantic for phlox, measuring with 
ordinary garden culture from 114 to 1*4 inches in diameter. The color 
is a pure salmon-pink with a distinct creamy white eye. Awarded Silver 
Medal 1938 All-America Selections. Pkt., 25c. 
Nolana, "Blue Ensign" 
This is a form of the Chilean bellflower which was brought over from 
South America several years ago and has since been converted by careful 
cultivation into a much superior plant. It can be effectively grown 
either under glass or in the open ground. In pots it will grow 12 to 15 
inches high, or when put outdoors it spreads a little and throws up its 
lovely large ultramarine-blue flowers on stems 5 or 6 inches high. In 
shape these strongly resemble an Ipomaea and their beauty is much 
enhanced by the large pure white center which has a charming effect. 
Seed should be sown in spring and the plants put out about the end of 
April, or it may be sown outdoors in May where the plants are to bloom. 
Not the least of the attractions of this beautiful flower is its very 
agreeable odor. Pkt., 25c.
