NEW VARIETIES ARE ALWAYS INTERESTING 
MORNING GLORY 
1660—SCARLETT O’HARA. (Illustrated in Color on Front Cover.) 
The only Cold Medal winner in the All America selections for 1939. 
Scarlett O’Hara is an entirely new color in this popular garden flower, 
rich, dark wine red, or deep rosy crimson. The flowers are of good size, 
about 3l^ inches in diameter, freely produced on fast growing vines 
which start blooming within 65 days after seed is sown. The dark green 
foliage does not make a heavy growth, thus the ratio of blooms to 
leaves gives the plant a very graceful appearance. The supply of seed 
is very limited, and we can offer it only in packets. However, we have 
tried to reserve enough seed for all, and we urge you to send us your 
order early and be one of the first to have this wonderful new flower 
blooming in your yard. Pkt., 25c, postpaid. 
NASTURTIUM 
1533—SALMON GLEAM. A delicate golden salmon, and very beauti¬ 
ful. This is a worthy addition to our family of gleam Nasturtiums. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; lb., 60c, postpaid. 
NIEREMBERGIA HIPPOMANICA 
1524—DWARF CUP FLOWER. Among the new flower introductions, 
we believe this to be the most prolific bloomer of all. It starts flowering 
when the plants are only about two inches tall, 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 old flowers and seed 
pods as the plant grows. The lovely lavender blue shade, heightened 
by a touch of yellow in the center is most charming. Plants are dwarf 
and compact, not over six inches tall, with a spread of only 8 to 10 
inches. Foliage is light grey green, not heavy, and there are literally 
hundreds of flowers in bloom at a time throughout the summer. Lovely 
in window boxes or flower pots. Pkt., 25c: 5 pkts., $1.00 postpaid. 
1589—Russell's Lupins—See Page 24 
PHLOX 
(Drummondi Grandiflora) 
1503—GIGANTEA. A new very large flowering type that produces 
blooms twice as large as the ordinary plant. In lovely pastel shades. 
Pkt., 20c; 3 pkts., 50c; oz., $1.50, postpaid. 
PYRETHRUM 
HP. Height 2 feet. These hardy perennials are of the same family 
as Chrysanthemums and Martricarias and are very charming and easy 
to grow. Valuable as cut flowers. We recommend them very highly. 
1520—ROSEUM (Single and Double Mixed). Produces a fine percent¬ 
age of fully double or crested flowers in shades of salmon, rose, crimson 
and pure white. Pkt., 20c: 3 pkts., 50c, postpaid. 
PINKS 
1812—LACINIATUS SPLENDENS. A very showy plant, 6 to 8 
inches in height, and produces hundreds of flowers throughout the 
season. The strongly sweet scented single flowers are about 2 inches in 
diameter, brilliant crimson with a large white eye. Has but few eguals 
for edging or border use, or as a rocky subject, and the flowers are 
excellent for cutting. Pkt., 15c: 2 pkts, 25c, postpaid. 
SCABIOSA 
1777—IMPERIAL GIANTS BLUE MOON. (Illustrated in color on in¬ 
side front cover.) This new Scabiosa has perfectly formed double flowers 
of broad, heavy, wavy petals, thus eliminating the "pincushion” appear¬ 
ance that is characteristic of the old type Scabiosa. The flowers are 
completely double, 2 inches or more in diameter, rich lavender blue in 
color. The plants are extremely upright growing 3]^ to 4 feet in height, 
and the flowers are borne on long stems, which makes it an ideal cut¬ 
ting type. Pkt., 25c; 5 pkts., $1.00, postpaid. 
. ZINNIA—GRACILLIMA 
161.5—RED RIDING HOOD. (Illustrated in color on Inside Front 
Cover.) Miniature deep scarlet flowers, one inch or more in diameter. 
Very free flowering. Pkt., 10c; 3 pkts., 25c: oz., $1.00, postpaid.

ZINNIA—FANTASY 
1714 —FLAMING VELVET. Gold Medal 
Award 1936 All-America Selections. A sensa¬ 
tion because of the uniform excellence of its 
velvety, rich, blood-red color. Plants are semi¬ 
compact in habit, about 15 inches in height. 
Pkt., 25c; 5 pkts., $1.00. postpaid. 
PETUNIA 
1751—PINK GEM. This miniature petunia 
has certainly created a sensation. It forms a 
neat compact plant, 5 or 6 inches high, literally 
covered with deep pink blooms. A single plant 
will carry as many as 25 to 30 blooms at one 
time. Individual blooms are about 2 inches in 
diameter. Excellent for borders, window boxes, 
rock gardens and for bedding, making a most 
charming contrast when planted with dwarf 
blue Ageratums. Pkt., 20c; 3 pkts., 50c; 
oz., $1.75, postpaid. 
1715—CORNFLOWER BLUE. This is rich 
blue that is so greatly admired in the South. It 
is of the balcony type and account of the much 
wanted shade will prove popular. Pkt., 25c: 5 
pkts., $1.00, postpaid. 
1569—Zinnia Rosalie 
This is one of the most interesting of the 
newer Zinnias, and is sure to be a reigning 
favorite among Zinnia enthusiasts. Plants are 
neat in habit, strong growing and very free 
flowering, about 30 inches in height. The deli¬ 
cate flowers are composed of a mass of shaggy, 
ray-like petals and are quite distinct from the 
stiff, formal Zinnias to which most people are 
accustomed. Makes a very good flower for 
cutting. 
1568—ORANGE LADY. A very rich shade of 
deep bright orange. Pkt., 15c; 2 for 25c, post¬ 
paid. 
1569—ROSALIE. The color is bright intense 
Rose, equally lovely in the garden or when cut. 
Pkt., 15c; 2 for 25c, postpaid. 
1570—WHITE LIGHT. A worthy companion 
to our other Fantasy Zinnias, and as near to 
a pure white as any zinnia yet developed. Pkt., 
15c; 2 for 25c, postpaid.
