OTHER NOVELTIES— Continued 
NIEREMBERGIA HIPPOMANICA 
Dwarf and compact, flowering in a few weeks from seed, the very 
large lavender-blue flowers completely smother it throughout the 
summer. Maintains its color perfectly in light shade. Sow in March 
in boxes or later in the open. PkL 25c. 
THREE NEW HARMONY TYPE MARIGOLDS 
MARIGOLD FULL DOUBLE SUNSET GIANTS 
All of the charm and sterling qualities that have made Harmony 
one of the most popular of all newer flowers is greatly enhanced 
in these proven new creations. 
Harmony Spotlight. 12-inch compact, free blooming. The crested 
center is a lively yellow while the contrasting guard petals ore a 
rich dark mahogany-red. Truly outstanding. Pkt. 25c. 
Golden Harmony. 12-inch. Identical with Harmony except the color 
is a rich gold throughout. A highlight. Pkt. 15c; Vi oz. 45c. 
Ferdinand. 20-inch to 24-inch with long stems, the single flowers 
have crested centers of deep yellow, with very broad outer guard 
petals of mahogany-red. Stunning in the garden and a superior 
cut flower. Pkt. 25c; 1/16 oz. 65c. 
LEPTOSYNE. GOLDEN ROSETTE 
It is difficult to think of a finer yellow garden and cut flower. Full 
double golden-yellow flowers, like tiny Dahlias on 18-inch plants 
and succeeding anywhere. It flowers in 10 weeks from seed sown 
where to bloom in early spring. Too few enjoyed it last year. 
Pkt 20c; Vb oz. 85c. 
LEPTOSYNE, DOUBLE GOLDEN ROSETTE 
NEW MINIATURE RUFFLED PETUNIA 
BETSY ROSS 
One of the most unique and striking color combinations I have 
ever seen. The profusion of 2Vi-lnch blooms are alternately banded 
red and white, delightfully ruffled, and ore borne on quite dwarf 
compact plants. Unsurpassed as a striking bedding plant and a 
most unique pot subject. Pkt 25c. 
NEW DWARF COMPACT PETUNIA VIOLET BLUE 
A grand and most welcome new color to dwarf Petunia. Plants 
ore near perfect in symmetrical and compact habit and the clean 
dark foliage is literally smothered with the rich violet blue flowers. 
Remains compact all the season. Pkt. 25c. 
TITHONIA SPECIOSA FIREBALL 
With gorgeous 5-inch scarlet orange flowers on long cutting stems 
on plants 8 to 9 feet high, it is unsurpassed among brilliant autumn 
garden and cutting flowers. Tender, sow indoors and move to open 
when safe from frost. Pkt 25c; Vs oz. 75c. 
MARIGOLD GIGANTEA SUPER DOUBLE 
(Improved Sunset Giants) 
The largest and showiest of all Marigolds. This improved strain has 
dworfer plants (3 ft.) sturdier stems, earlier flowering and all of 
the magnificent flowers are full double and sweet scented. 
Giant Full Double Orange. Replaces Orange Sunset with the same 
rich golden-orange color. Pkt 25c; 1/16 oz. 65c. 
Giant Full Double Mixture gives us the full range of colors from 
soft yellow to deep orange. Pkt 25c; 1/16 oz. 60c. 
DIMORPHOTHECA SPECTABILIS 
(Pink African Daisy) 
A pink African Daisy is indeed novel and fills a distinct need and 
we have it in this newly introduced African plant. The abundant 
stems 12-in.-14-in. tall bear two inch daisy-like blooms, of deep 
pink with shining black center throughout summer. Thrives in 
hottest situations and fine for garden or cutting. Half-hardy peren¬ 
nial best treated as annual. Sow early spring in boxes or when 
warmer in open. Pkt 25c; Vs oz. 60c. 
FAMOUS RUSSELL LUPINES 
Few new plants have created so great a sensation as these now 
famous rugged perennials. Huge spikes on 3-4 ft. sturdy plants 
with closely spaced florets in richest tones of bronze, red, yellow, 
orange and brilliant bicolors never before known in Lupines. 
Russell Lupines grown one year from originator's seed and re¬ 
selected so I believe they equal the Red Seal strain of last year 
and much more reasonable in price. Pkt. 25c; Vi oz. 75c; per oz. 
$2.50. 
Originators Packets for 1940. Arrival of the seed is somewhat 
uncertain and number of seed in packets unknown. Prices ore 25c 
and 65c.
