NEW FLOWER CREATIONS 
and SPECIALTIES for 1941 

AGERATUM “MIDGET BLUE.” (Silver Medal A. A. S. 1938.) A very fine dwarf Ageratum 
growing not more than 2-3 inches high with delicate fine foliage, which is practically 
smothered with small true Ageratum Blue flowers. Really the first dwarf Ageratum that will 
come uniformly dwarf and true to color from seed. Tr. Pkt., 35c: Ye oz., $1.25; Y% oz., $2.00 
ALYSSUM DWARF COMPACT VIOLET QUEEN. A very pretty bright violet, much deeper than

ASTER BRANCHING "JEAN BOYD.” (Bronze Medal A. A. S. 1940). It is early blooming, coming 
into flower about the same time as the Royal type, richer in scarlet-red color than Heart of 
France. Plants are base branching and extremely floriferous, they grow about 20 inches 
high and the Crego type of bloom measures from 2'%4-2¥2 inches in diameter. Recommended 
for garden and cut flower use, flowers are of long-lasting quality when cut.

ASTER EARLY GIANT WILT RESISTANT. The finest large flowered, heavy stemmed wilt resis- 
tant Aster yet developed. Flowers are of the large Giants of California type, while the 
plants are less tall, about 1¥% ft. in height, with strong heavy stems. This class is early 
blooming, coming into flower 4-6 weeks earlier than the Giants of California, that is during 
early to mid August. An exceptionally new class. 
LIGHT BLUE. (Silver Medal A. A. S. 1939.) 
PEACH BLOSSOM, opens white, flushes lavender-pink. 
ROSE MARIE. (Honorable Mention A. A. S. 1940.) A rich lively shade of rose pink. 
Tr. Pkt., (each) 35c:; 1% oz., 75c 
COSMOS EXTRA EARLY DOUBLE SENSATION MIXED. Coming in colors of white, pink and 
crimson, this new double Cosmos is similar to the single Sensation in height and other habit 
characteristics. Two forms of double flowers are found in this new group and both will 
average between 4¥2 and 5 inches across—the regular double crested and the newer and 
novel fluted types. Equally as large as the single Sensation, the new double crested type 
will produce a large 2 inch crested center—which makes it appear even more mammoth. 
The fluted flowers are most informal of the two, as they bloom in a variety of shapes and 
forms. Most common is the type with 15-20 extra petals growing out from the yellow center. 
It also is not unusual to see a plant with the petals of each flower shaped like a trumpet. 
Seed of this novelty is all handpicked from double plants only, therefore the doubles per- 
centage runs higher than the smaller flowered double crested Cosmos.
