2433 Honor Bright Petunia 
A new shade and an entirely new color in the bedding¬ 
spreading group of petunias. It is a color possessing none of 
the harsh magenta tones underlying so many petunia 
colors; we can best describe it as a deep but bright glowing 
salmon, lightening somewhat toward the throat. 
Flowers are large, slightly waved, and grow up to 33<2 in. 
across; each plant bears a great many of these lovely colored 
flowers almost covering the lush, broad, deep green leaves. 
Plants are typical of the bedding-spreading group; they 
reach a height of about 18 in. and a spread of 3 ft. Comes 
into bloom in early summer and continues until frost. 
Honor Bright Petunia is very vigorous, free flowering, and 
as easy to grow as any other Bedding Petunia. Excellent 
for beds, borders and window boxes. The salmon color is 
one that is highly prized for cutting.

1573 Yellow Shaggy Calendula 
Scotch or Pot Marigolds 
Yellow Shaggy has the deepest flower heads of all calendulas. 
P'lowers are so deep that they are globular, 3 in. across and 
almost as thick. The petals are quilled and deeply cut 
on the ends, giving the flow¬ 
ers a very shaggy and artis¬ 
tic appearance. It is the 
unusual shape of the petals 
that has given this calendula 
its appropriate name. 
The color of the flowers is a 
bright clear yellow with a 
lighter yellow center, which 
is nearly covered by the 
mass of petals. P'lowers are 
borne on very long stems 
and their form makes them 
excellent keepers. The well- 
formed bushy plants grow 
1V’ ft. tall and are loaded 
tvit h their attractive flowers. 
One of the finest calendulas 
for beds, borders, and espe¬ 
cially recommended for all 
cut flowi r purposes.
