NEWER FLOWERS 
FOR SOUTHERN GARDENS 
MARIGOLD 
1769—HARMONY HYBRIDS, FRENCH 
DOUBLE. The neat, dwarf compact habit of 
this Marigold, combined with its extremely 
early and free flowering character, makes it 
outstanding. The flowers are large, all double, 
with a wide color range and do not have the 
customary Marigold odor. The compact plants 
are 12 to 14 inches in height and start bloom- 
ing about 10 weeks after seed are sown. Packet,

MARIGOLD DWARF 
GIGANTEA 
1800—POT O’ GOLD. This is truly a remark- 
able new dwarf growing form of the very pop- 
ular Gigantea type that is destined to become 
one of the leaders of the Marigold family. Pot 
O’ Gold has sweetly scented super sized blooms, 
individual blooms measuring from 4 to 4% 
inches in diameter, and are fully double and 
the color is a luscious rich orange. This dwarf 
plant grows from 12 to 15 inches in height 
and is ideally compact in its habit of growth. 
It is amazingly free flowering and is the earli- 
est of all Marigolds. Primarily a bedding sub- 
ject for the garden, Pot O’ Gold may also be 
cut for indoor use since the stems are 10 to 12 
inches in length. A mass of intense dazzling 
gold, Pot O’ Gold is truly a jewel found at 
rainbow’s end. Price: Packet, 25c; 5 packets, 
$1.00, postpaid. 
1801—GYPSY JEWELS. A companion to Pot 
O’ Gold, Gypsy Jewels has the same ideal 
dwarf compact plant habit, but the color is a 
mixture of many shades, including the rich 
orange of Pot O’ Gold and other shades of 
orange, yellow and primrose. Gypsy Jewels is 
a colorful, very showy jewel-like adornment 
for any garden. Enjoy Gypsy Jewels in the 
garden and in bouquets for the home. Price: 
Packet, 25c; 5 packets, $1.00, postpaid. 
PHLOX-GIGANTEA 
1502—SALMON GLORY. The individual 
florets are gigantic for phlox, measuring with 
ordinary field culture from 1144 to 1% inches 
in diameter. The color is a pure salmon-pink, 
with a distinct creamy-white eye. This, with 
its clear, clean, crisp appearance, makes one 
of the most beautiful color combinations we 
have ever seen. Salmon Glory will prove to be 
one of the outstanding flowers in your garden.

flowers are completely double, 2 inches or more

ZINNIA—FANTASY 
This is oneyof the most interesting of 
the newer Zinnias, and is a favorite 
among Zinnia enthusiasts. Plants are 
neat in habit, strong growing and very 
free flowering, about 30 inches in 
height. The delicate flowers are com-~ 
posed of a mass of shaggy, ray-like 
petals and are quite distinct from the 
stiff, formal Zinnias to which most peo- 
ple are accustomed. Makes a very good 
flower for cutting. 
1567—FANTASY WILDFIRE. We 
consider this Fantasy type of Zinnia 
to be one of the most interesting of all. 
It is a rich, dazzling scarlet, and will 
add a distinct note of color and cheer-

NEW GIANT CRESTED 
ZINNIA 
(Pictured in Color on Front Cover) 
This is the newest development in Zinnias, 
and entirely different from any yet introduced. 
We believe it would be next to impossible to 
fully describe its beauty. The blossoms average 
4 to 5 inches in diameter, and the strain in- 
cludes almost all known colors and shades of 
color to be found in other Zinnias. As an an- 
nual for garden ornamentation they are with- 
out an equal; for cut flower purposes, the 
effect of a bouquet of this gorgeous new va- 
riety is simply breath-taking, and catches the 
eye at once. If you want something new that 
is really worth while, try one or more packets 
of these this year.
