Larkspur, Blue Velvet 
2136 Blue Velvet Larkspur 
Very large, nicely formed, fully double, deep blue flowers 
enhanced by a velvety sheen —the richest blue annual lark- 
spur we have ever seen. Plants are of the Tall Double Stock 
Flowered Branching type, with the central spike as well as 
the many side ones well filled with flowers. Showy in the 
garden; lovely for cutting. Easily grown. 3 to 4 ft. tall. 
Pkt. 15¢; 4 oz. 35¢; 4 oz. 60¢. 
2369 Marigold, Melody 
Bronze Medal Winner, All-America Selections for 1942. New 
Dwarf Double French Marigold with bright orange ‘‘Har- 
mony’”’ type flowers, 1% in. across. Plants grow 12 to 15 in. 
tall, bloom early and continuously until frost. Desirable 
for low beds, borders and edgings; nice for cutting. 
Pkt. 25¢; 14 oz. 70¢; 14 oz. $1.20. 
2357 Marigold, Orange Harmony 
One of the best known Dwarf Double French Marigolds is 
Harmony, with its orange and reddish brown flowers. Orange 
Harmony produces the same type of flower with the mound 
of small tubular, deeply cut, erect central disc flowers, the 
same vivid golden orange color as the surrounding broad 
ray florets. Orange Harmony begins to bloom a little earlier 
than Melody, flower formation is almost identical, slightly 
larger (1% in. across), and a trifle deeper in color; plants 
are taller, growing 1 to 1% ft. high. Profuse blooming. 
Pkt. (100 seeds) 25¢; 200 seeds 45¢; 500 seeds $1.00. 
3211 Zinnia, Black Ruby 
All-America Bronze Medal Winner. Blackish maroon double 
flowers, 1 to 1% in. across; while extremely deep in color, 
the flowers are not dull, for the velvety texture of the petals 
gives them a rich appearance. A valuable addition to the 
Lilliput group of Zinnias so popular for garden use and cut 
flowers, especially in small bouquets where larger blooms 
would be considered too big and coarse. Grows 2 ft. tall. 
Pkt. 15¢; 14 oz. 35¢;-14 oz. 60¢.
