NIEREMBERGIA “PURPLE ROBE” 
(Awarded Bronze Medal) 
Similar to Nierembergia Hippomanica, except several shades deeper blue 
or violet-blue in color, from which it was selected. This is a half hardy 
perennial, treated as an annual, blooming in about 15 weeks from 
sowing. It prefers full sun, sandy loam, and makes a grand border and 
edging subject. It stays in bloom over a long period and with a colorful 
blanket of bloom. Very dwarf, about 6 inches tall, cushion-like plant, 
surmounted with flowers the color of Silver Blue Petunia.

PETUNIA GIANTS OF CALIFORNIA “GLAMOUR” 
A lovely selection out of Bodger’s Supreme Florists Strain, which made 
such a glorious impression on the seedsmen at Lompoc, following the 
A. S. T. A. convention in San Francisco, two years ago. It has a large 
salmon-rose flower with brown veining on white in the throat; a free 
and continuous bloomer. This is an excellent color under artificial light 
and outdoors. There is a little variation in color shades and though mostly 
with wavy, fringed petals, some come plain edged and smaller in size 
than the 4 to 5 inches. Height is usually 15 to 18 inches.

PHLOX GIGANTEA “RED GLORY” 
(Awarded Honorable Mention) 
Gigantea Art Shades won a Silver Medal in 1935. Salmon Glory, the 
first separate color in this new giant-flowered type, won a Silver Medal 
in 1939. Then, perhaps with a bit of the glamour removed, Rosy Morn, 
with richer color, won a Bronze Medal in 1941. Here is the richest bright 
red, with contrasting white eye, of this same type, for 1942, and no less 
valuable than the salmon-pink and rose varieties. Its color is the same 
as Scarlet Flax; a free, continuous bloomer, tall, lightly foliaged, uniform 
and true.
