Beautiful New Petunias 
The new Petunia offerings for 1939 include some 
of the finest and best varieties that we have yet 
seen. They are the most deserving of a trial in 
your garden. 
1569 DWARF DOUBLE ADORABLE. This 
wonderful new Petunia is the result of many years 
of patient work in bringing it to the ideal that has 
now been achieved. The plants are dwarf, branch¬ 
ing from the base when only an inch or two high, 
forming a broad low growing plant which produces 
an abundance of fully double frilled light La 
France pink blooms. Adorable, is we believe, the 
finest double Petunia we have ever had the plea¬ 
sure of offering our garden friends. For bedding it 
is unexcelled, as a pot or urn plant it gives wonder¬ 
ful effects, and as a cut-flower it is most satis¬ 
factory. Adorable, blooms early and continues 
until frost. Pkt. 60c. 
1581 SUPER FLUFFY RUFFLES. A Petunia so 
heavily ruffled and fringed that it has the appear¬ 
ance of being double flowered. Flowers are very 
large, with large bright throat and almost 100% 
true to type. A fine color mixture of pink, salmon, 
rose, crimson, light blue and white, and many 
intermediates. Pkt. 25c. 
1583-E BURGUNDY. An All-America Selection. 
This new Petunia is a deep Burgundy-red and has 
a rich, velvety sheen. Its white throat is veined 
in purplish-red which adds greatly to its desirabili¬ 
ty. Petals about 3 inches, five lobed and neither 
fringed nor ruffled. Burgundy is shown in color on 
Page 32. Pkt. 20c. 
1590-F FRINGED GOTTFRIED MICHAELIS. 
A dwarf, giant, single fringed Petunia of deep 
velvety magenta-crimson with dark throat. Plants 
are of fine habit producing the large blooms very 
freely. Pkt. 30c. 
1590-L FRINGED ROSALIND. A beautiful large 
flowered, exquisitely fringed variety with blooms 
of delicate rose or apple blossom pink, produced on 
neatly branched plants. Pkt. 15c. 
1590-M GOLDEN JUBILEE. A glorious new va¬ 
riety of the large flowered fringed dwarf Petunias. 
Blooms are large with finely fringed petals of 
bright carmine tinged with scarlet golden throats 
marked with light bronze. Pkt. 30c. 
1603 TOPAZ ROSE. All-America Award. A fiery 
velvety rose of a brilliance seldom seen. Slightly 
suffused with gold and with throat of true topaz 
color. Its fine color and the fact that it does not 
burn or fade makes this a fine bedding sort. 
Pkt. 20c. 
1620-f ROSE CREPE DE CHINE. A marvelous 
new variety with flowers of rich rose, the petals 
are soft, gauzy and crinkled, resembling silk crepe. 
A most interesting and attractive variety and a 
dehghtful addition to your garden. Pkt. 20c. 
Morning Glory, Scarlett O’Hara 
Morning Glories—Ipomea 
2425 NEW SCARLETT O’HARA. AU-America 
Gold Medal. Distinct from all present Morning 
Glories, this grand new variety produces its flowers 
of rich dark wine red or deep rosy-crimson on fast 
growing vines with dark green foliage. The bright 
showy blooms are 3 to 4 inches in diameter and 
appear in about 2J^ months from seed. This va¬ 
riety named for the leading character in "Gone 
With the Wind’’ should be in every garden. Start 
the seed early inside for planting out as soon as 
wa rm. See it in natural color on Page 2. Pkt. 25c. 
2395 HEAVENLY BLUE. A trellis, arbor or door¬ 
way covered with this vine is one of the most 
beautiful sights imaginable. Bright sky blue 
flowers, almost as big as saucers, are freely borne 
on the rapidly climbing vines. The vine is late 
flowering and the seed should be started in pots 
indoors. Pkt. I Oc; oz. 35c. 
Petunia, Dwarf Velvet Ball 
A Real Dwarf Petunia 
1620-J VUjVET ball. Free flowering and very 
dwarf, this new Petunia develops into a round 
compact ball-shaped plant not over eight inches 
tall with the same breadth. Each plant bearing 
almost continuously ten to a dozen large blooms 
of deep velvety blood-red. An ideal variety for 
edgings. Pkt. 20c._ 
The New Scabiosa 
1726 BLUE MOON. This new type has broad wavy 
petals forming a fully double deep rounded bloom 
2J^ to 3 inches in diameter. The pin-cushion effect 
has completely disappeared thus producing a 
flower of unimagined beauty. The color is a rich 
deep lavender of great effectiveness. Plants are 
upright, tall, and produce many flowers on fine 
stems for cutting. See Color Page 2. Pkt. 25c.
