for Your 1940 Garden 
The All-America Selections for 1940 will be found on 
this roster of “the best that’s new’’ in flowers, the award 
being- listed immediately after the name. 
AGERATUM Midget Blue. Silver Medal A.A.S. 
Fulfilling a long-felt need for a dwarf blue Ager- 
atum which would come perfectly true and even 
from seed, Midget Blue is assured of a place liter¬ 
ally in the fore-front of countless gardens. Three 
inches high, with delicate fine foliage soon covered 
with small, true Ageratum-Blue flowers. Pkt., 25c. 
ANTIRRHINUM Golden Rod. 
Rich golden yellow, wavy-petalled blooms, closely- 
spaced on thick, rod-like, base-branching stalks. 
Golde Rod justifies its name in something more 
than color. Two feet in height, this is the first 
good rust-resistant yellow in the medium height 
group so desirable for both cutting and bedding 
use. Pkt., 25c. 
ANTIRRHINUM Rosalie. Bronze Medal A.A.S. 
A striking new shade in Snapdragons: Intense rose- 
pink, deepening toward the center and with an am¬ 
ber suffusion. The rust-resistant plants are base- 
branching, with many tall spikes of well-arranged 
large florets, ideal for garden or bouquet. Pkt., 
25c.

ASTER Giant Harmony Mixture. 
A new cut-flower type, with large 4-inch flowers 
on long, stiff stems; several rows of broad, short 
guard petals surround a full mounded center of 
short quilled petals. The mixture includes light and 
deep blue, flesh, peach blossom, rose, purple, and 
white. Pkt., 15c. 
ASTER Rose Marie. 
Honorable Mention A.A.S. 
Bright rich rose-pink flowers on 
long stems, on plants which are 
strictly wilt-resistant. A grand ad¬ 
dition to the Early Giant group, 
with its characteristic large, curly- 
petalled flowers, and early-bloom¬ 
ing habit. Grow it with Early Giant 
Light Blue and Peach Blossom, in¬ 
troduced last year in this new type. 
Pkt., 25c. 
CALENDULA Yellow Colossal. 
Loose-petaJled, bright yellow flowers, similar to 
those of Chrysantha, but even larger and with a 
full center of short petals. Yellow Colossal is a per¬ 
fect variety for either cutting or bedding, growing 
about 18 inches in height. Pkt., 25c. 
CARNATION, Allwood's Hardy Cottage 
Strain. 
l\Iany years of crossing and i-ecrossing the vei-y old 
hardy, free-flowering garden' carnations with the 
more modern, large-flowered types, has resulted in 
this fine new race of Hardy Carnations. The plants 
are of stocky habit, requiring no staking, com¬ 
mence to flower early and continue for many 
months each year. The petals are smooth and 
rounded; the color-range excellent. See illustration 
on front cover. Pkt., 35c.
