NOVELTIES INTRODUCED BY WALLER-FRANKLIN 
IN 1938—Continued 
NEW DAHLIA WALLER-FRANKLIN DWARF HYBRIDS— S ince the Unwin 
Dwarf Hybrids were introduced in 1928 we have been selecting to increase 
the proportion of doubles reproduced from seed. We now have a strain 
which contains a higher percentage of true doubles than the original and a 
much wider range of colors. Some of the lovely new colors are: Shades of 
Canary Yellow, Scarlet, Terra Cotta, Apricot, Crimson, Lavender-Pink, 
Purple, Maroon, Buff, Cream, White, etc. 
Price per oz. $1.65, per lb. $20.00. 
NEW PETUNIA BALCONY ROSY MORN— This beautiful color, which 
for a quarter century or more has maintained its popularity in the Nana 
Compacta class, is now available in the Balcony type. We think the con¬ 
trasting colors of pink with a white throat are even more beautiful in this 
new form. 
Price per oz. $3.50, per lb. $40.00. 
NEW PETUNIA MINIATURE OR GEM— We are pleased to be able to offer 
three new Gems. These are the same dwarf compact type as Rose Gem and 
about six inches high. We believe there is a need for more colors to fill out 
the group. 
WHITE GEM— Pure White. Per oz. $3.00, per lb. $35.00. 
PINK & WHITE GEM —Rose Pink Starred White. Per oz. $2.10, per lb. $25.00. 
NEW VERBENA HYBRIDA GRANDIFLORA (Giants) BRILLIANT— In 
1925 we introduced Verbena Luminosa which has become one of the most 
popular Verbenas in cultivation. Many seed houses have standardized it as 
the best pink. We now offer a great improvement over this variety in Bril¬ 
liant. The color is a rich, deep, flame rose, with a medium sized white eye. 
The white eye helps to bring out the intense flame color in the rose. This 
is one of the richest colored Verbenas we have ever introduced. It is a good 
doer and the seed shows a tendency to germinate more freely than most 
other Verbenas. 
Price per oz. $1.25, per lb. $15.00. 
NEW SWEET PEA EARLY FLOWERING SPENCER NAVY BLUE— This 
is a new color in Earlies and one that has long been wanted. It is really the 
color of the Late Spencer Fortune reproduced in an Early. The color is a 
rich dark blue, four flowers to a stem, long stiff stems and a vigorous 
grower. We welcome this also as it is a color that has long been needed 
in the mixture. Price per lb. $3.00.
