Salmon Glory Phlox 
 PHLOX DRUMMONDI GIGANTEA TYPE 
(ANNUAL) 
The flowers are unusually large for Phlox, 
up to 1% or even 1% inches across not un- 
common with ordinary culture. (Thin to i2 
inches for best results.) 
‘The color is pure salmon-pink, with creamy- 
one of the most beautiful com- 
binations ever seen. Pkt. 20c. 

NEW AND NEAR-NEW 
To sort out and discard most “new crea- 
tions”, because they are not enough better 
than existing varieties to justify naming dnd 
introducing—there’s the rub. © 
There isn’t much to get excited about in 
new varieties for 1941. But we have added a 
few, some offered for the first time by any 
firm, others not really new, but not listed 
before by us. 
Two New Alyssums. “Violet Queen” takes 
place of Lilac Queen. “Basket of Gold” (per- 
ennial) very nice and useful. 
In Asters we have added the EARLY 
BEAUTY, separate colors and mixed. This is 
similar to our ‘“Boulderado Beauties’—not 
quite so large, but earlier. Very good. And 
“Ostrich Feather” asters in place of Crego. 
Mammoth White Morning Glory. That Long 
Longed for super WHITE is here. Page 4. 
Our Zinnia pages have always carried just 
about all the really worth while kinds. Now 
we have added that new giant red, “Will 
Rogers”. Another red, entirely different type, 
“Wildfire”. And cutest of all little red Zinnias, 
“Tiny Tim’’. 
The two new sensational Zinnias will. be 
found on page 32. And, of course, the Crown 
of Gold, Pastel. ; 
Pacific Giant Delphiniums now in separate 
colors in addition to our wonderful mixture. 
Note our new reduced prices on most all Del- 
phiniums. See Delphinium page. 
Our Sweet Pea list has always included the 
cream of Spencer varieties. New additions 
are Bridal Veil, Flag Ship and Welcome. 
Nifty names, don’t you think? The varieties 
are as nifty as their names. Often the reason 
your WHITE Sweet Pea seeds rot instead of 
grow, is that you peed white seeded variety. 
Plant “Bridal Veil’, a blackseeded white kind. 
Two New Petunias, “Topaz Rose’”’ and “‘Snow- 
ball”, will ‘fill a long felt want’’. 
Four New Marigolds. You couldn’t miss it 
—Super Gigantea Double Orange on page thirty- 
three. If you like the large and lovely 
“Sunset Giants” (and breathes there a man, 
or woman, who doesn’t) then you will have a 
fit when you see this whale of a Marigold, 
which appears to me to be developed from the 
Sunset Giant strain by painstaking selection 
the past few years, to segregate the color, 
increase the size, make the plant more sturdy, 
and pep up the blooming date. 
Another new addition to our Marigold list 
fills a Long felt want. It is the lovely ‘Dixie 
Sunshine” type and color, but an EARLIER 
Strain, called “Early Sunrise”’. 
New DWARF “Pot of Gold” Marigold. Plants 
are dwarf and compact, about 14 inches tall. 
The blooms are large and fully double. Color 
is deep golden orange. Blooms several weeks 
ahead of most all other kinds. See page 33. 
_ “Mission Marigolds”, newest addition to our 
list, resemble Chrysanthemums. See page 2.

Three million catalogues we’ve mailed, 
In all that time, few seeds have failed.

Larkspur “Cockade Salmon Pink” 
New Annual Larkspurs 
We have always kept up with the “besta, 
if not the mosta” in improved Annual Lark- 
spurs. See back cover. page. Note our 
“Dandy Dozen” for 1941. See Page 64. 
Our two new Larkspurs for this season are 
“Cockade Salmon-Pink” (Macdonald) and 
“Super Majestic Rose-Pink” (Ferry-Morse Co.). 
Here’s a snapshot of Cockade Salmon-Pink 
as it grows for the originator. This strain 
is compact, and produces 10 to 12 heavy base 
branching spikes of florets. The individual 
flowers are fully double, closely spaced on a 
16 to 18 inch spike. The color is especially 
beautiful under artificial light. Pkt. only 10c. 
The most sensational Larkspur of the year 
is that glorious SUPER MAJESTIC ROSHE- 
PINK. See back cover page for field photo. 
Note the full size he-man almost lost in this 
“Floral Forest’’. Our seed of this overwhelin- 
ing giant beauty is grown for us by the or- 
iginator. Price reduced to 15c. 

Who said Morning Glories? If you have 
Morninggloryitis, we prescribe for you our 
special Collection. See Morning Glory pages. 
- That “Mile-a-Minute’” Vine seems to be a 
sort of white sheep in the Morning Glory 
family. Frankly, I’d be surprised to see it 
run a mile in three minutes. I never saw it. 
They do say it is interesting on account of the 
dainty foliage a lacy green, rather than heavy 
rank growth. : 
“Yon can’t have everything”. That is, not 
all in one variety. You can’t have those super 
swell double rose-type Hollyhocks, unless you 
plant them this year for blooms next year 
and after. 
But now you CAN have very beautiful 
Hollyhock blooms the first year from_ seed. 
Just plant seed of the new, true ANNUAL 
Hollyhock, “Indian Spring’. The blooms are 
sorta semi-double, and measure about 5 inches 
across. Comes in mixed colors only, ranging 
from pale pink to crimson-rose. Pkt, 15c.
