SEASON 1940 
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of Mr. J. J. Bell on 
November eighteenth, 1938. Mr. Bell had been engaged in the seed busi¬ 
ness for over sixty years. He had served as manager of Deposit Seed Co. 
since 1909. His work will be carried on by those who have been closely 
associated with him through the years. We pledge to you the same 
courtesy and efficient service you have received in the past. 
MORNING GLORY 
CLARK’S EARLY HEAVENLY BLUE. We have chosen this Morning Glory for our 
cover because we believe it to be the most beautiful annual vine available. The beautiful 
sky blue of the Heavenly Blue Morning Glory is unquestionably one of the loveliest 
shades in any flower, a beautiful sky blue color which shades at the center to a golden 
throat. These flowers are very large of the characteristic Morning Glory form, and 
flowers are open and in the fullness of their glory of color ten to twelve hours every day, 
closing very late in the afternoon. Pkt. 10c. 
CRIMSON RAMBLER. Deep crimson morning glory. Free flowering, rapid grower, 
similar to Scarlett O’Hara but climbs more readily. Pkt. 10c. 
GIANT FRINGED JAPANESE. Large blossoms, 6 inches across, zoned, striped and 
spotted in the most artistic manner. Petals often cut frilled and fringed. Colors very 
brilliant, varieties almost endless. All colors mijced, Pkt. 10c.
