Novelty Flowers 
for 1940 
SCABIOSA, HEAVENLY BLUE. Bronze Medal, All America Selec¬ 
tions, 1940. A distinct and lovely azure blue; very early and exception¬ 
ally free flowering. Plants dwarf, 18 in., bushy, and loaded with rather 
short, wiry stemmed, high crowned, double flowers; suitable for bedding 
and cutting. Unique and worthy. Pkt. 25c. 
VIOLA, WALLER FRANKLIN FORMULA MIXTURE. This blend 
of bright gay colors far surpasses any mixture of Violas we have seen. 
Bright shades of self colors of red, yellow, blue, and apricot combined 
with many shades which are blotched, undoubtedly make these Violas a 
supreme mixture. Pkt. 25c. 
PETUNIA, BETSY ROSS. The color of Betsy Ross is red and white, 
with the white blending to golden and the red blending to very deep red 
in the throat. This color combination creates a decidedly gay effect. 
Plants uniform and compact, completely covered with well ruffled 
blooms which have a good open throat. Excellent as a pot plant. Pkt. 25c. 
SWEET PEA, ROSE PINK. Silver Medal, All-America Selections, 
1940. Large, wavy, rose-pink flowers on white ground. New type, 
maturing between the early flowering and the Spencer classes. Is taller 
and has longer stems than either of the others and gives more cut flow¬ 
ers. Free blooming and seems more heat-resistant than the Spencers. 
Pkt. 25c. 
MARIGOLD, LIMELIGHT. Bronze Medal, All America Selections, 
1940. A new color of pale primrose yellow. Flowers made up of hun¬ 
dreds of artistically curled and interlaced petals arranged to form a 
perfectly round and symmetrical head of exquisite pompon chrysanthe¬ 
mum-like form. Plants dwarf, bushy, vigorous growing and very free 
flowering. Valuable for cutting. Pkt. 25c. 
PETUNIA, CREAM STAR. Silver Medal, All-America Selections, 
1940. Flowers shaped like a five-pointed star; soft creamy white, deep¬ 
ening towards the throat to a bright golden yellow. The entirely distinct 
color with the uniformity and compact habit of the plants, as well as 
their profusion of bloom, makes Cream Star Petunia ideally suited for 
low beds, borders, and edgings. Plants bloom about 20 weeks after seed 
is sown. Pkt. 25c. 
MARIGOLD, YELLOW PYGMY. Honorable Mention, All-America 
Selections, 1940. Light lemon yellow. Lilliput French double type, grow¬ 
ing only 8 inches tall and compact. Small, 1 % in., blooms rather free. 
Exciting for edging and potting. Pkt. 25c. 
SHIRLEY POPPY, ALL-DOUBLE FLOWERED. Improved strain of 
all-double, Begonia-type flowers. Range of colors from light pink to dark 
crimson wtih fair sprinkling of Picotee types in scarlet and vermilion 
shades. One of the most excellent flowers for mid-summer blooms and 
for cutting. Pkt. 15c.
