FLOWER SEED SPECIALTIES—Continued 
Marigold, Harmony Type 
French Tall Single, Ferdinand 
Ferdinand, one of the gayest of our new flowers, is single, 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, 13 ^ to inches in diameter, they are extremely 
showy and attractive. The plants are tall growing, 20 to 24 inches, with an upright, 
semi-compact, yet full foliaged growth habit. Ferdinand is early blooming, com¬ 
mencing to flower within three months after the seed is sown, and does not have 
the strong Marigold color. Packet 50e. 
Nierembergia Hippomanica 
This charming dwarf lavender-blue Nierembergia has an exceptionally long 
flowering period, beginning to flower 15 weeks after seed is sown and continuing 
until heavy frosts of late Fall. Plants are definitely dwarf, not over 5 or 6 inches 
tall and with a spread of 8 to 10 inches. It is a half hardy perennial which will 
winter over if given some protection. 
Plants: 3 for $1.50, 10 lor $4.50. Seed: Packet 50c. 
Marshall’s Super Giant Pansies 
This strain of truly Giant Pansies is of most vigorous growth, the enormous 
flowers are carried on exceptionally long stems and have a fine range of brilliant 
colors. Excellent for show work or as a pot plant. Packet $2.00 
Marigold Ferdinand 
Dahlia, California Hybrids 
MARSHALL’S GOLD MEDAL STRAIN 
Our seed is selected from the largest and finest varieties grown 
and ripened under ideal conditions; there is no finer seed produced. 
The better the seed the greater the opportunity to originate a new 
and finer Dahlia. 25 seeds $1.50, 50 seeds $3.00, 100 seeds $5.00 
Hollyhock Annual, Indian Spring 
This semi-double annual Hollyhock should be sown in early 
Spring to be transplanted in the open ground some six weeks later. 
Ten weeks later it will be in full flower. Individual florets measur¬ 
ing about 5 in. The color range is from pale pink to crimson rose. 
Height from 4 to 6 ft. Packet 35c. 
Papaver Nudicaule, Red Cardinal 
This deep cardinal red Iceland Poppy represents a new shade 
which deserves attention. Edgings and borders planted with Red 
Cardinal produce an exceptionally gay color effect. If sown in July 
or August and treated the same way as Pansies, the plants will pro¬ 
duce a profusion of blooms the following Spring and Summer. 
Seed: Packet 50c. Plants: 3 lor $1.50, 10 for $4.50 
Petunia Nana Compacta 
Violet Blue 
The grand color of this new Petunia, which is a rich violet with 
a bright blue cast, justifies its being classed as the most important 
addition yet to be developed in the Nana Compacta group. The 
plants are nearly perfect in their uniform, symmetrical and compact 
habit. A decidedly neat plant that will hold its fine habit through¬ 
out the season. Packet 50c. 
Ipomoea (Morning Glory) Scarlett O’Hara 
Scarlett O’Hara is an entirely new color in this popular garden flower, 
rich, dark wine red or deep rosy crimson. While the flowers are not quite 
as large as the Heavenly Blue Morning Glory, they are of good size, about 
4 inches in diameter, freely produced on fast growing vines which start 
blooming within 65 days after seed is sown, and are very showy for covering 
a fence or trellis. Scarlett O’Hara will most certainly be a reigning favorite 
this season and for many years to come. Although granted the only Gold 
Medal in 1938 All-America Selections, Scarlett O’Hara was held over for 
1939 introduction because of a scarcity of seed supplies. 
Packet 50c. 
Larkspur Giant Imperial, Pink Perfection 
Pink Perfection is a distinct addition to the color range in the popular 
basal branching Giant Imperial group. It has all its fine qualities, with 
2-inch florets of rounded, broad petals evenly and closely spaced on the stem, 
giving a very heavy. Hollyhock-like cutting spike 24 inches or more in 
length. The color is a lively light pink. 34 oz. $1.75, packet 35c. 
Marigold, Tom Thumb, Golden Crown 
Marigolds have of late years been very largely in the public eye. The 
novelty we now present is a dwarf form of Guinea Gold, growing about 10 
inches high, possessing all the merits of its parent. The bright golden yellow 
flowers, flushed with orange, larger and of the same shape and firm substance, 
are produced in great abundance, often to the number of 25 to 30 on a full 
grown plant. Being practically all double, the value of Golden Crown for the 
front row of a border can hardly be overrated. We may add that this novelty 
is quite distinct from that being offered as Collarette Crown of Gold. 
Packet 35c., 3 packets $1.00 Larkspur Giant Imperial Pink Perfection
