DAHLIA “COLTNESS HYBRIDS ” 
A. li. C. Special Formula Mixed 
For a number of years we have devoted a great deal of time and space in the trial 
ground to the development of a better strain of the Dahlia Coltness Hybrids. We 
now offer a superior strain with a greatly increased range of colors. Shades of 
Canary Yellow, Scarlet, Terra Cotta, Apricot, Crimson, Lavender-Pink, Purple, 
Maroon, Buff, Cream and White are some of the additions that we fell are particu¬ 
larly outstanding. Tr. Pkt.25c V 4 oz.75c Oz.$2.50 
New DIMORPHOTHECA SPECTABILIS 
Spectabilis has a single daisy-like bloom about 2 inches in diameter. The color is 
deep pink with a shining black center. The habit is similar to other varieties of 
Dimorphotheca except that it grows somewhat taller. Stems 12 to 14 inches long 
are produced in abundance. (Sow early if wanted to bloom the first year.) 
Gardeners who experience difficulty in finding a sufficient variety of plants for hot 
dry places should welcome this new Dimorphotheca both for bedding and cutting 
purposes. Tr. Pkt.25c Vs oz.50c Vi oz.85c Oz.$3.00 
ANNUAL HOLLYHOCK “INDIAN SPRING ” 
Awarded Silver Medal, All-America Council 
"Indian Spring" produces flowers of attractive bright rose and rosy carmine shades, 
of a size similar to the Single Perennial Hollyhock; however, seed sown in February 
will bloom freely in early August. "Indian Spring" attains a height of six feet or 
more, with flowering branches produced freely from about a foot from the soil. 
"Indian Spring" produces a compact pyramidal plant that is worthy of high 
recommendation. An excellent item to merchandise in small pots for garden planting.

IPOMOEAS 
We believe that you will find a profitable sale for small pot plants of the 
various Ipomoeas offered, especially "Heavenly Blue." These plants 
could be used for setting out in the spring, as Ipomoeas do not transplant 
readily in any other way. Cash in on the advertising these will obtain 
during the coming season, and have the merchandise to satisfy the 
demand. 
IPOMOEA “CRIMSON RAMBLER’’ 
Very similar to "Scarlett O'Hara" but with white throat and heart-shaped 
leaves. This is a beautiful climber, but not suitable for window boxes as 
is "Scarlett." Tr. Pkt.25c 
IPOMOEA “ HEAVENLY BLUE ” 
(Clark’ s Early-Flowering Strain) 
The beautiful sky blue of the Heavenly Blue Morning Glory is unques¬ 
tionably one of the loveliest shades in any flower, a beautiful sky blue 
color which shades at the center to a golden throat. This variety is 
extremely early, makes a sparse growth of foliage and is heavily covered 
with flowers. These flowers are very large and of characteristic Morning 
Glory form, and although they close by noon, their "morning glory" can¬ 
not be equalled. Being a tender annual, seed should not be sown out¬ 
doors until late in spring, and then best results can be obtained by 
planting in a dry, sandy location where they will receive as little water 
as possible, and unless heavy foliage is required, no fertilizer should be 
used. Seed may be started early indoors, but if so, should be planted 
in individual pots, as Ipomeas do not transplant readily.

IPOMOEA “SCARLETT O’HARA ” 
Awarded Gold Medal, All-America Selections, 1939— 
the First Gold Medal Winner in Two Years 
"Scarlett O'Hara" is an entirely new color in a Morning Glory, a rich dark wine 
red, or deep rosy crimson. Few introductions in recent years have caused so 
much interest prior to the introduction and now that "Scarlett" is with us, we can 
say it warrants all that was expected earlier. Though the flowers are not as 
large as "Heavenly Blue," they are of good size, about 4 inches in diameter, 
and 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.

IPOMOEA “ CORNELL ” 
So named because it reproduces the colors of Cornell University, this Morning 
Glory has giant carnelian red flowers with a pure white border, the flowers 
measuring as much as SVz inches across. Resembles "Scarlett O'Hara" in color 
but has the contrasting white margin. Tr. Pkt.15c
