Salvia Splendens, Damask Rose 
Varieties of salvia of other colors than red have from time to time been 
offered, but none promising to be of permanent value, this present novelty, 
will hold its own in this respect, being a distinct and beautiful carmine- 
rose. It is early flowering, dwarf and compact, branching' from the base, 
the plants being literally covered with long spikes of bloom, which stand 
out with striking effect against the dark green foliage. It comes quite true 
from seed. Fkt., 25c. 
Zinnia, Dahlia-Flowered, Will Rogers 
In color Will Rogers is the brightest possible scarlet and the form of 
flower typical dahlia-like but of unusual size and substance. In short, this 
novelty is a considerable improvement on the popular Scarlet Flame. Fkt., 
20c; 3 for 50c.

Zinnia, Fantasy, White Light 
Zinnia, Fantasy, White Light 
As near to a pure white as any zinnia yet developed, White Light is an 
excellent addition to the group of white flowers so much in demand by the 
florists trade. Practically 100% true to color, the medium size, shaggy 
petals, informal flowers are lovely in flower arrangements and while not 
exactly showy in the garden lend a soft note of restfullness. The free- 
blooming plants are 2% to 3 feet in height, with stems of good length for 
cutting, and will be in flower 45 to 50 days after seed is planted. Honorable 
Mention 1938 All-America Selections. Fkt., 20c; 3 for 50c. 
Zinnia, Fantasy, Orange Lady 
A worthy companion to zinnia Fantasy White Light, Orange Lady brings 
to the Fantasy group a rich shade of deep orange especially desirable. 
Description and culture same as variety White Light offered above. Honor¬ 
able Mention 193S All-America Selections. Fkt., 20c; 3 for 50c. 
Zinnia, Fantasy, Rosalie 
Color is a bright, intense rose, equally lovely in the garden or when cut. 
Habit of plants same as Orange Lady and White Light offered above. 
Honorable mention 1938 All-American Selections. Fkt., 20c; 3 for 50c. 
Zinnia, Scabiosa-Flowered, Sunburst 
Navajo Zinnias (Gaillardia-Flowered Zinnia) 
Another of the newer Zinnia types, being entirely different from all 
others and resembling the double flowering Gaillardia. The flowers are 
attractive, of medium size, about 2 inches in diameter, just a good size 
for cut flower use, and are carried on stems of medium height. The 
plants are about 2 feet tall and very free flowering. Bach petal of these 
double and semi-double flowers, for about one-third its length, is heavily 
tipped, creamy white, creamy yellow, or a lighter color than the balance 
of the flower. This two-color effect is most unusual and attractive. The 
colors range through the mellow tones of rose, pink, bronze, yellow, 
orange, lavender and combinations of these colors. Most of the flowers 
in fact are two-toned, with a ring of deeper color toward the center of 
the flower. 
In fact, the colorings are similar to those found in a Navajo rug, 
hence its name. Flowers will be produced about 45 days after seed is 
sown. Fkt., 15c; 2 for 25c. 
Zinnia, Scabiosa-Flowered, Sunburst 
Flowers are medium size, 1% to 2 inches across, carried on strong 
stems of medium length. The plants are 2 to 2%-ft. in height, branch¬ 
ing and free-flowering. The color is a very vivid, pure canary-yellow. 
Sunburst has a very full, rounded, mound-like center of small frilly 
petals, rather than the ordnary disc petal centers found in some strains. 
It is comparatively early flowering, blooming from within 40 to 45 days 
from the time of planting. Fkt., 20c; 3 for 50c. 
Aquilegia, Clematis-Flowered Columbine Mixed 
This glorious columbine is absolutely distinct in petal formation. As 
will be seen from the accompanying picture the blooms greatly resemble 
clematis flowers. The plants are of medium height, good compact habit 
and free-flowering whilst the individual blooms are large and solid in 
petal. The color range includes delicate pastel shades of pink and blue. 
Hardy perennial. Height 2 to 3 feet. Fkt-, 50c. 
Aquilegia, Clematis-Flowered
