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 bed¬ 
ding 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 un form and compact, completely covered with well ruffled 
blooms which have a good open throat. Excellent as 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 flowers. 
Free blooming and seems more heat-resistant than the Spencers. 
Pkt. 25c. 
MARIGOLD, LIMELIGHT. Bronze Medal, All-America Selection, 
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 chrys¬ 
anthemum-like form. Plants dwarf, bushy, vigorous growing and very 
free flowering. Valuable for cutting. Pkt. 25c. 
PETUNIA, CREAM STAR. Silver Medal, All-America Selection, 1940. 
Flowers shaped like a five-pointed star; soft creamy white, deepening 
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, 
growing 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 with fair sprinkling of Picotee types in scarlet and ver¬ 
milion shades. One of the most excellent flowers for mid-summer 
blooms and for cutting. Pkt. 15c.
