leaf mold, or both, should be 
worked into the bed before

Martha Washington ushers in 
an entirely new version. The 
plants are about 9 inches tall, 
in a perfect ball effect, actually 
covered with dozens of the 
delicately ruffled medium-sized 
flowers. The color itself is an 
interesting combination, blush 
pink at edges, deepening to dark 
violet in the throat, with heavy veining. It comes 
exceedingly true to color and type, and is ex- 
cellent for use as a bedding, border or window 
box plant. Packet 15c.
