1532 Petunia, First Lady 
An exceptionally uniform dwarf Petunia producing large flowers 214 inches 
across. Color a blush-pink and one of the clearest pinks in all Petunias, a new 
shade of light pink. Makes a dwarf bushy small-shaped plant growing about 
12 inches high. Pkt., 25c. 
1533 Petunia, General Washington 
A true miniature Petunia growing 6 to 9 inches high spreading to a width 
of 8 inches. The well-ruffiled blooms have large open throats 3 inches or more 
in diameter. The bell part of the bloom is a rich velvety amaranth-red with a 
glistening reddish black throat. Pkt., 20c; 3 for 50c. 
1534 Petunia, Miniature Violet Gem 
This variety is a true miniature in every respect, the plants are neat, dwarf 
and compact. Blooms are just the size you would expect to find on this type 
of plant, free blooming, producing rich violet-blue blooms in great numbers 
throughout the season. Foliage dark green, to a height of 6 to 8 inches and 
will spread 6 to 8 inches. Pkt., 20c; 3 for 50c. 
1535 Petunia, Miniature Ruffled Betsy Ross 
The color is red and white, with the white blending to golden and the red 
blending to very deep red in the throat. The blooms are 21% inches in diameter 
and well ruffled with a good open throat. This color combination gives the 
individual plant, as well as a row of plants, a decidedly gay effect, particularly 
since the plants are so uniform and compact and so completely covered with 
ruffled blooms. Pkt., 15c; 2 for 25c. 
1536 Petunia “Glow” 
A dwarf, compact, ball-shaped variety, of bright rose-red with lighter throat. 
Extremely free flowering all season, of rich coloring, true and a wonderful 
variety for the gardener and florist. Awarded Silver Medal, 1939 All-America 
Trials. Pkt., 15c; 2 for 25c. 
1537 Salpiglossis, Dwarf Giant Flowering 
This new strain of Salpiglossis produces plants that are bushy and compact 
in habit, growing to a height of 30 to 32 inches. This is about 8 inches shorter 
than the spreading Emperor type. No vigor has been lost in shortening the 
plants, as they will survive a hot summer and outlast the old strain. The flow- 
ers are formed in a group or cluster at the head of each plant, will range in 
celor from light chamois with wide red stripes spreading starlike from a golden 
yellow throat, velvety violets, mid-blue with silver veins and many other charm- 
ing color combinations. Salpiglossis is a half-hardy annual, can be planted 
early and will last until the middle of summer. PEt., 15c. 
1538 Scabiosa, Peace 
A companion to Heavenly Blue Scabiosa introduced last year which won the 
Bronze Medal in the All-America Trials. The flowers are 1% to 2 inches across, 
of perfect form, with high-crowned, double flowers. Pure white without any 
tinge of pink or mauve. The sturdy, vigorous plants grow 2 feet tall. Awarded 
Honorable Mention All-America Trials, 1940. Pkt., 25c. 
1539 Scabiosa “Heavenly Blue” 
A distinct and lovely azure-blue variety, very early and exceptionally free 
flowering. Plants 18 inches high, bushy and loaded with rather short but wiry

1529 Marigold, Harmony Type America Trials. Pt, 150;2 for 25c. 
“Ferdinand” (Tall Single French) 
Saucy, sprightly and colorful, Ferdinand is one of the gayest 
of our new flowers. Unlike its companion in our new Harmony 
Type group, Ferdinand is single flowered with a neat round, 
crested center of dainty tubular florets in an arresting shade of 
golden yellow surrounded by a single row of broad, mahogany-red 
guard petals. While the flowers are of only medium size, 144 to 
134 inches in diameter, they are extremely showy and attractive. 
The plants are tall growing, 20 to 24 inches, with an upright, 
semi-compact, yet full foliage growth habit. Stems are well over 
a foot in Jength, making Ferdinand a fine new cut flower subject 
as well as an attractive and showy garden plant. Like all of the 
Harmony Type Marigolds, Ferdinand is early blooming, com- 
mencing to flower within 3 months after the seed is sown, and 
does not have the strong Marigold odor. Pkt., 15c. 
1530 Petunia, Blue Brocade 
This Petunia belongs to the Victorious, or Dwarf All-Double 
Type. It is a true violet-blue. True to type and color, stocky * 
growth, an excellent bloomer of good size flowers. New and rich 
in color with giant fringed flowers. A very high percentage of 
fully double flowers of pleasing fragrance. Awarded Silver Medal 
All-America Trials 1940. Pkt., 45c. 
1531 Petunia, Radiance 
One of the most brilliant of all the Petunias regardless of type. 
A cerise-rose with enough underlying salmon to remove the 
harshness, commonly found in a cerise-rose. The throat is golden 
yellow below where the blooms start to flare. This new Petunia 
is decidedly floriferous and holds its uniform neat habits until 
late fall. The blooms are about 2 inches in diameter. Pkt., 25c.
