NEW FLOWERS FOR 1940 
MILE-A-MINUTE VINE. 
As the name implies, this Ipomoea or Morning 
Glory is very fast-growing, attaining a growth of 
20 feet or more in a season. The foliage is most 
attractive, being fine and multi-cut, making a lace¬ 
like tracery of green on fence or trellis. The 
creamy-white, medium-sized flowers are dark red 
in the throat, and are produced from the first of 
August until late in the fall, remaining open 
throughout the afternoon. Pkt., 15c. 
Try the Unusual New Mile-a-Minute Vine 
NASTURTIUM Fiesta. 
A counterpart of the favorite semi-double Golden 
Gleam, but with arresting vivid scarlet blotches 
on the golden yellow petals, the proportion of red 
and gold varying according to the season and age 
of the flower. The growth is vigorous, plants at¬ 
taining a height of 15 inches and a spread of 3 
feet; stems are long and the flowers sweet-scented. 
Pkt., 25c. 
PETUNIA Cream Star. Silver Medal A.A.S. 
The plants have the finest dwarf, bushy habit ever 
developed in Petunias. When full grown, they are 
12 inches high, and perfectly uniform, completely 
covered with large, creamy-white flowers deepening 
to gold in the throats; a semi-open habit con¬ 
tributes to the lovely star-shaped effect. Un¬ 
doubtedly the most universally useful bedding nov¬ 
elty for 1940. Pkt., 25c. 
PETUNIA, Dwarf Yiolef-Blue. 
A fine new shade in dwarf, compact bedding Pe¬ 
tunias. The medium-sized flowers are rich, vel¬ 
vety violet-blue, a shade lighter than the larger- 
flowered, spreading variety. Elk’s Pride. Pkt., 15c. 
PETUNIA Betsy Ross. 
A miniature ruffled Petunia of the Martha Wash¬ 
ington type, Betsy Ross is reminiscent of the 
American Flag, the medium-sized flowers being 
striped in red and white. In the throats the white 
blends into gold, and the red into rich crimson. The 
habit is very uniform, about 8 inches in height, 
well adapted for either bedding or pot culture. 
Pkt., 25c. 
PETUNIA Glow. Silver Medal A.A.S. 
Bright, rich rose-red flowers freely produced on 
dwarf, compact, ball-shaped plants for many 
months induced the judges of the All-America Se¬ 
lections Committee to award this new bedding 
Petunia first place in point-score. It will bring a 
brilliant new color-note to your garden this season.
