Two New Giant Imperial Larkspurs 
Particularly Outstandiugf Because of Their True Base Branchiugf 
Habit and Non-Shatteiiug- Quality 
ROSABINB. A new color Larkspur, rose with just enough suffusion of salmon 
to create a most pleasing shade of rose-pink. Truj base branching in hab.it 
w’ith a center spike four to five feet tall, and from 6 to 8 side branches, 3 to 4 
feet long, all emanating from the base. The spikes are wiry and the lilooms 
practically non-shattering, a puality so essential for cutting, fkt., 20c; 3 
for 50c. 
SIOITTBOSB. This variety, like Rosalind, is a true Giant Imperial (base 
branching) and non-shattering. The color is a clear rose-pink. The flor.ts 
are exceptionally large, wrll and closely set on wiry spikes that are three to 
four f.et lon.g. Pkt., 2Cc; 3 for 50c. 
Linum (Flax) “Heavenly Blue" 
The perennial Linums of late years have been coming more and more into 
favor for early summer bedding, and deservedly so through thsir free and grace¬ 
ful habit and profusion of bloom. The color too has been greatly improved by 
cultivation and selections, and our new variety gives the general impression of 
a waving sheet of luminous ultramarine-blue. It certainly is the finest tint yet 
seen in this section, and the flowers being twice as large as the common Linum 
perenne produce, when seen in the mass, a really charming effect. Sown in 
March or April and planted out early the gardener may safely rely on excellent 
results. Fkt., 35c, 
Larkspur Giant Imperial Pink Perfection 
The plants are tall, basal branching, upright in habit and very free flowering. 
The color is a very luscious shade of lively light pink. Early flowering. Pink 
Perfection comes into bloom about the same time as the Stock Flowered variety, 
Rosamond. Ideal as a florist color. Pink Perfection is also a magnificent addi¬ 
tion to the home garden. Fkt., 20c; 3 for 50c. 
Aster, Giant Harmony 
Ipomoea, Cornell 
Ipomoea, Alamo Vine or 
Mile-a-Minute Vine 
Royal Ensign is deep bright ultramarine-blue, color intense. Admir¬ 
ably suited for edges and borders ; its free and long flowering char¬ 
acteristics should quickly assure a place in the garden. Fkt., 15c; 
2 for 25c. 
Morning Glory, Scarlett O'Hara 
The name of this bright red morning glory is taktn from the 
leading character in “Gone With the Wind." America’s most i>opular 
novel in many years. Scarlett O’Hara is euite early to bloom, a 
carnelian-red, sometimes called carmine, self color, is of m.=dium 
size, about 3^/4 inches across, blooms until frost and r, mains open 
longer than other morning glories. Blaoms are found open even is 
afternoon. Growth starts a bit slowly and should be assisted in 
twining. Foliage is quite distinct, each leaf with one large and two 
small sized lobes. Scarlett O’Hara is the only Gold Medal winner in 
two years, having received the Gold Medal in the 1937 trials but held 
over owing to the lack of seed. Again in the 1938 All-America 
Selections it was awarded the Gold Medal. Fkt., 15c. 
Bush Morning Glory “Royal Ensign" 
A very fast growing and attractive vine which thrives in a hot dry 
situation. The foliage is fine, stems rather wiry and the runners 
obtain a growth of as much as 20 feet in a season. The flowers are 
creamy white, about 11/4 inches in diameter, deep wine-red at the 
center and unlike most memb rs of this family, open late in the 
morning with the bright sun and remain open during the 
afternoon. Begins blooming about the first of August. The 
main value of the plant is as a quick growing and attractive 
vine for use as a covering on f.nces and trellises. Fkt., 15c. 
Ipomoea, Cornell 
This variety, Cornell, combines the brilliant coloring of Scarlett 
O'Hara with the size of bloom and robust habit of the Heavenly Blue 
Morning Glories. The blooms are large, 4 to 414 inches in diameter, 
in an intense shade of carnelian-red with a border a little over an 
eighth of an inch wide of pure glistening white, the colors of Cornell 
University, the famous university on the hill. The plants are thick 
growing, make a rather heavy growth of very attractive bright green 
foliage, commencing to flower wh n the vine is only 2 or 3 feet tall. 
Much more free blooming than its more famous companion variety, 
Scarlett O’Hara, Coi'nell is in a cla-s with Heavenly Blue in this 
respect. Blooming will continue until the first killing frost of autumn. 
We consider Cornell a worth while addition to this group of flowers. 
Fkt., 15c; 2 for 25c.
