Marigold, Harmony Type Mixture 
Habits the same as Marigold Spotlight described below at left. The 
color range includes Spotlight as well as a lovely golden orange, yellow 
and innumerable blotched and striped combinations of golden orange with 
maroon. Fkt., 20c; 3 for 50c. 
Petunia "Glow" 
A dwarf, compact, ball shaped variety, of bright rose-red with lighter 
throat. Extremely free flowering all season, of rich coloring, true and a 
wonderful variety for the gardener and florist. Awarded Silver Medal, 
1939 All-America Trials. Fkt., 25c. 
Petunia "Cream Star" 
Similar in habits to the above Petunia, Glow; extremely free flowering, 
true and distinct. Flowers are a soft creamy white, bluntly star-shaped 
and with a star of cream coloring on the white flowers. Awarded Silver 
Medal, 1939 All-America Trials. Fkt., 25c. 
Petunia, Miniature Ruffled Betsy Ross 
The color is red and white, with the white blending to golden and the 
red'blending to very deep red in the throat. The blooms are 2% inches 
in diameter and well ruffled with a good open throat. This color combi¬ 
nation gives the individual plant, as well as a row of plants, a decidedly 
gay effect, particularly since the plants are so uniform and compact and 
so completely covered with ruffled blooms. Fkt., 25c, 
Petunia, Violet Blue 
The grand color of this new Petunia, which is a rich violet with bright 
blue cast, justifies its being classed as the most important addition yet to 
be developed in the Nana Compacta group. The plants are uniform, 
symmetrical and in habit very compact. A decidedly neat plant that will 
hold its fine habit throughout the season. Fkt., 25c. 
Petunia, Snowstorm 
Flowers are large, averaging 4 inches in diameter, and beautifully 
frilled. The white is pure and fresh and as the plants are in continuous 
bloom, a bed of this variety is truly much like a bed of snow. The large 
white flowers are very attractive and especially showy at night. Fkt., 35c. 
Scobiosa Imperial Giants, Heavenly Blue 
Petunia, Glow 
Marigold "Limelight" 
A new color of pale primrose-yellow or deep cream in the Dixie Sun¬ 
shine or incurved Chrysanthemum-Flowered type. Early-flowering, 
stronger growing than Early Sunshine and darker green foliage. Not 
odorless—114 to 2% inches in diameter, free flowering and coming quite 
true. Awarded Bronze Medal, 1939 All-America Trials. Fkt., 25c. 
Marigold, Extra Early Dwarf Hybrids 
(Carnation-Flowered) 
This is the earliest of all African type Marigolds. Exceptionally free 
flowering, the color ranging from bright orange to clear lemon, including 
a number of rich medium orange shades. It grows to a height of 18 
inches with many base branches and laterals, all blooming at the same 
time, producing a mass of color that completely smothers the foliage. 
The blooms are from to 3 inches in diameter, of a Guinea Gold 
type but with a quilled center. An entirely new and distinct type of 
Marigold. These hybrids are suited to a climate with a short season as 
they will bloom from 3 to 4 weeks ahead of the other African Marigolds. 
Fkt., 2Cc; 3 for 50c. 
Marigold, Harmony Type "Spotlight" 
A striking, very showy companion to the popular Harmony Marigold, 
Spotlight takes its place on the Marigold roll of honor. Spotlight has all 
the fine qualities of Harmony, but with a much brighter, more colorful 
fiower. The plants are about 12 inches to 14 inches high, very compact, 
extremely free blooming and unusually early, commencing to flower in 
early June, at least two weeks earlier than ordinary French varieties. 
The gay, brilliantly colored flowers are of med,ium size, about 1 % inches 
in diameter, are borne well above the foliage, and do not have the strong 
Marigold odor. They have the characteristic Harmony flower formation, 
Scabiosa-like, with crested centers of dainty tubular petals in a bright, 
lively yellow shade which contrasts strikingly with the broad, velvety 
dark mahogany-red guard petals. We have already had very favorable 
reports on Marigold Spotlight from those who had it in trial this past 
season. While the dwarf, compact habit places it primarily in the bedding 
class, it has been very favorably recommended for cut flower use as well. 
Fkt., 20c; 3 for 50c. 
Marigold, Harmony Type "Ferdinand" 
(Tall Single French) 
Saucy, sprightly and colorful, Ferdinand is one of the geyest of our 
new flowers. Unlike its companion in our new Harmony Type group, 
Ferdinand is single flowered with a neat round, crested center of dainty 
tubular florets in an arresting shade of golden yellow surrounded by 
a single row of broad, mahogany-red guard petals. While the flowers are 
of only medium size, 114 to 1% inches in diameter, th y are extremely 
showy and attractive. The plants are tall growing, 20 to 24 inches, with 
an upright, semi-compact, yet full foliage growth habit. Stems are well 
over a foot in length, making Ferdinand a fine new cut flower subject 
as well as an attractive and showy garden plant. Like all of the Har¬ 
mony Type Marigolds, Ferdinand is early blooming, commencing to 
flower within three months after the seed is sown, and does not have the 
strong Marigold odor. Fkt., 20c; 3 for 50c.
