Ageratum, Fairy Pink 

Petunia, Grandiflora Single 
Fringed Theodosia 
1086. THEODOSIA, Improved 
(Grandiflora Single Fringed). H. A. 
Large fringed rosy pink with clearly 
defined golden center with minute 
stripes. Considered by many the most 
attractive of ruffled single fringed Pe- 
tunias. Pkt., 25c; 2 pkts., 40c; 1/32 
oz., $2.25; 1/16 oz., $4.25; 1% oz., 
$8.25; 14 oz., $16.00. 
826. FAIRY PINK. H. A. This new dwarf, compact, soft salmon- 
pink Ageratum will be a welcome addition to the dwarf Ageratums. 
It begins to bloom when not more than 11/2 to 2 inches high and 
continues to bloom until it forms a solid, compact mass of blossoms. Plants when fully 
grown are not more than five inches in height. Note illustration. Pkt., 15c; 2 pkts., 25c; 
VY oz., $1.50; 1/4 oz., $2.75; 1/2 oz., $5.25. 
1049. SCARLETT O’HARA. H. A. Flowers are not 
quite as large as the Heavenly Blue Morning Glory, but 
they are of good size and average about four inches in 
diameter of a dark wine-red or deep rosy-crimson. They are produced on fast growing 
vines which start blooming within 65 days after seed is sown. They are very showy for 
covering a fence or trellis. Flowers are a lovely blaze of color during the morning, and 
until well in the afternoon, remaining open practically all day on cloudy or dull days. 
The dark green foliage does not make a heavy growth, leaving the plants graceful in 
appearance. As is true of all Morning Glories, sarlett O’Hara should be planted on 
rather poor soil. If planted on rich soil, an excessive amount of vine growth is produced 
with few flowers. Pkt., 15c; 2 pkts., 25c; 14 oz., 35c; 1/2 oz., 50c; oz., 90c. 



1036. FERDINAND. H. A. Probably one of the gayest of all new 
flowers, this saucy, spicy, and colorful Harmony Type Marigold will 
be found extremely fine for cutting. Unlike the other Harmony Type 
Marigolds, Ferdinand is single flowered with a neat round crested center of dainty tubular 
florets of a rusty shade of golden-yellow surrounded by a single row of broad mahogany 
red guard petals. Flowers are 1l/. to 134 inches in diameter and are extremely showy 
and attractive. The plan‘s are tall growing, 20 to 24 inches, upright, semi-compact 
growth. Stems are well over a foot in length. Like all Harmony Marigolds, Ferdinand 
is early blooming, commencing within three months after seed is sown and does not have 
the strong Marigold odor, Pkt., 20c; 2 pkts., 35c; 
$3.50.

ESCHSCHOLTZIA

CALIFORNIA 
POPPY 
RAMONA. H. A. California Poppies or Esch- 
scholtzias are becoming more popular each year. 
They seem to do well on rather poor soil where 
flowers fail. The color of this striking 
variety is a rich golden bronze with a coppery- 
outside. Flowers on compact plants ex- 
on erect stems with flowers beautifully 
and curved. Note illustration above.

AY 
Lupine, Annual Yellow Freesia Scented 
102814. ANNUAL YELLOW FREESIA SCENTED. H. A. We think this is one of the 
finest of the new flowers. It has the fine form and habits of the Hartwegii type and 
a beautiful buttercup yellow color. This beautiful color plus the fine form is ample justi- 
fication for its being in every flower 
even the most aristocratic, but the out- 
standing feature of all, however, is its grand fragrance. It is especially strong and 
reminds one of the sweet scent of a freshly cut Freesia bloom. Pkt., 10c; 2 pkts., 15c; 
144 oz., 30c; 1/2 oz., 50c; oz., 8O0c. 
103517. MISSION GIANT-GOLDSMITH. 
H. A. Mission Giant is a new strain 
of Marigold of medium height with 
giant Chrysanthemum blooms. Plants 
grow about 18 inches high and show 
an exceptional amount of vigor. They 
are base branching, producing from 
eight to twelve stems of excellent cut- 
ting length. The laterals or side 
branches produce just as large, if not 
larger blooms, than the center stems. 
It is very early, coming into bloom 
fully two weeks ahead of the ordinary 
Sunshine types. The ball-shaped blooms 
measure from four to five inches in 
diameter. They greatly resemble the 
giant incurved Chrysanthemums that 
are seen in flower shops about Thanks- 
giving time. The flower is firm due to 
the fact that the great number of small 
florets that go to make up the huge 
blooms are tubular except near the top 
where the tubes seem to separate into 
five miniature ribbon-like parts that 
curl and twist to form a perfect ball- 
shaped inecurved flower. 10ldsmith is 
a rich golden orange which makes a 
brilliant display in the garden. This 
variety received a 1941 bronze medal 
in the All-America awards. Pkt., 20c; 
2 pkts., 35c; 14 oz., $1.35; 14/2 oz., 
$2.60; oz., $5.00.
