Silver Medal A.A.S. 
SWEET PEA, Spring-Flwg. Blue. 
Bronze Medal A.A.S. 
SWEET PEA, Spring-Flwg. Lavender. 
Honorable Mention A.A.S. 
First offered by us in our Sweet Pea Folder issued 
last July, it is interesting that these three colors 
in this entirely new Sweet Pea class were consid¬ 
ered so outstanding as to receive individual awards 
in the All America Selections. They begin to flower 
in mid-season, between the Early Spencers, and the 
Standard or Summer Spencers, and are more heat 
and drought-resistant than either. All of the three 
colors are produced on tall-growing, vigorous vines 
with long, sturdy stems. Pkts., 25c each color. 
STAR OF TEXAS (Xanthisma Texanum). 
An easily-grown annual daisy from the vast South¬ 
west state. Petals are long and pointed, light ca¬ 
nary yellow; the center is lighter. The plants are 
bushy and erect, 1)^ feet in height, and resistant 
to drought. Pkt., 25c. 
You’ll Iiike the Improved Fantasy Zinnias 
ZINNIA Fantasy Wildfire. 
This season a bright scarlet-red is offered for the 
first time separately in this popular informal type 
of flower. Wildfire will add a distinct note of cheer¬ 
fulness to the garden, and enliven any home when 
used in flower arrangements. See note on Zinnia 
culture on page 57. Pkt., 15c.
