2594 Phlox, Red Glory 
Honorable Mention, All-America Selections for 1942. Companion to 
others of the Gigantea group of annual Phlox, which were also All- 
America prize winners. Individual florets are very large, brilliant 
red, intensified by a prominent creamy white eye—a striking color 
combination. Flower trusses are immense and are freely borne on 
strong, erect plants 10 in. tall. Desirable for beds, borders, edgings 
and cutting. Most showy. Pkt. 25¢; 2 pkts. 45¢; 5 pkts. $1.00. 
3220 Cupid Zinnia, Goblin 
New color in the Cupid Zinnias, —bronzy golden orange which seems 
brighter inside than in the garden; this and its long cutting stems 
make Goblin especially attractive for home decoration. Flowers are 
fully double, 1 in. across, and often as much in depth; the color is 
soft and pleasing and combines well with the other shades of the 
tiny Cupids or may be used alone. An arrangement of Goblin 
Zinnias in a blue container is quite stunning. Plants grow 1 ft. tall 
and are very free blooming. Pkt. 25¢; 4% oz. 60¢; 14 oz. $1.00. 

Giants of California Petunia 
2619 Glamour 
Honorable Mention, All-America Selections for 1942. Large salmon- 
rose flowers with white throat veined brown; a lovely color under 
artificial light or outdoors. There is a little variation in color tones, 
and though most of the flowers have wavy, fringed petals, some are 
plain edged and smaller in size than the 4 to 5 inch diameter of the 
more heavily ruffled ones. An excellent petunia for beds or borders. 
Pkt. 50¢; 2 pkts. 95¢; 5 pkts. $2.25.
