NEW 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 near perfect in their uniform, sym¬ 
metrical and compact habit. A decidedly neat plant that will hold its fine 
habit throughout the season. 
Its clean, dark foliage is hardly visible due to the great number of rich, 
violet blue flowers. This color has been lacking in the Nana Compacta 
group and we strongly recommend that you feature this new Petunia in 
the novelty section of your 1940 catalog. 
R. H. Color Chart—No similar color in chart. It might be classified as one 
shade lighter than the well known Elk's Pride. 
Price per oz. $2.10, per lb. $25.00. 
NEW STOCK SUPER GIANT IMPERIAL FIERY RED— This season we are 
pleased to add in FIERY RED another fine color to the Super Giant 
Imperial group of Stocks. This type of Stock has been especially bred and 
selected for the cut flower growers’ use. It grows about 3 ft. tall, is base 
branching, each plant producing from twelve to fifteen huge flowering 
spikes with double florets measuring two inches or more in diameter. 
Price per oz. $2.50, per lb. $30.00. 
NEW SWEET PEA SPENCER RED SUPREME— The bright red color of 
this new Sweet Pea is unique in that it is without the dull maroon cast 
common to all other Sweet Peas in this color group, with the result that 
the color is intensified into a bright luminous red never before offered in 
a Sweet Pea. 
Red Supreme produces a very strong plant with an abundance of blooms 
on long stems. This should be your standard late red variety. 
Price per lb. $1.50. ' 
NEW SWEET PEA SPENCER SALMON GIGANTIC— This new salmon 
pink Sweet Pea has great plant vigor, enormous sized blooms which are 
nicely waved and frilled and produced on fine long stems. 
A salmon pink that is delicate and yet decidedly rich and bright. A fine 
novelty. 
Price per lb. $1.50. 
NEW SWEET PEA EARLY FLOWERING SPENCER SKIPPY— For many 
years the growers of Early Flowering Sweet Peas have been asking for 
an early salmon pink with GOOD STEMS. After several years of intense 
selection we are pleased to offer SKIPPY. A new and very pleasing shade 
of light salmon pink with not only good long stems but if favorably grown 
will produce four to five blooms to each stem. This new Sweet Pea will 
sell itself if given a trial. 
Price per lb. $3.00.
