Delightfully Different New Flowers for 1941 
MARIGOLD, SPRY 
Silver Medal—1941 All-America Selections

compact and uniform, so may be 
used for edging. About 9 inches tall,

crested center and maroon outer petals. 
Brighter than Dwarf Harmony and pro- 
fuse flowering. See illustration on back 
cover. Packet, 25c. 
MARIGOLD, GOLDSMITH 
Bronze Medal—1941 All-America Selections

type, having an almost globular 
flower of medium size with incurved 
petals of the chrysanthemum type. See 
illustration on back cover. Packet, 25c. 
MARIGOLD DWARF GIGANTEA, 
POT O’GOLD 
The plants are dwarf and compact, 
growing 12 to 15 inches in height, well 
branched, very neat in appearance and 
bearing a dozen or more large blooms 
at one time. The color is bright deep 
golden orange. 100 per cent double. See 
illustration inside front cover. Packet, 
25¢. 
MARIGOLD, MISSION GIANTS 
A new personality in Marigolds of 
exceptional merit. It is of medium 
height with giant chrysanthemum 
blooms and is ready for introduction 
this season in a separate color of golden 
orange and mixed. The plants grow 
about 18 inches high and show much 
more than the ordinary amount of vigor. 
Under our field conditions the plants, 
which are base branching, produce from 
8 to 12 stems of excellent cutting length. 
This new type of Marigold is unique in 
at least one respect, the laterals or side 
branches produce just as large, if not 
larger blooms than the center stem. It 
is very early, coming into bloom fully 
two weeks ahead of the ordinary Afri- 
can types. The blooms, which measure 
from 4 to 5 inches in diameter, are al- 
most a perfect ball. In both size and 
form they remind one of the giant 
ineurved chrysanthemums that are seen 
in flower shops at Thanksgiving time, 
except that the blooms of this new 
Marigold are more firm. Packet, 25c

PETUNIA, Super Fluffy Ruffies, 
Salmon Rose 
/ 
PETUNIA SUPER FLUFFY 
RUFFLES, SALMON ROSE 
The blooms average 314 to 4 inches in 
diameter and are so frilled and ruffled 
that they are often mistaken for dou- 
bles. The color, as the name indicates, 
is salmon rose leaning toward the deep 
side with a golden throat. Packet, 25c. 
PETUNIA HYBRIDA, RADIANCE 
Silver Medal—i941 All-America Selections 
There is more rich brilliance and 
life in the color of Radiance than 
in any Petunia, regardless of type, that 
we know of. A cerise rose with enough 
underlying salmon to remove the harsh- 
ness, commonly found in a cerise rose, 
without losing the brilliance, in fact 
seeming to intensify it. The throat is 
golden yellow below where the bloom 
starts to flare. This tends to add 
warmth and life to the general color. 
This new Petunia is decidedly florifer- 
ous and holds its uniform and neat 
habit well into the late fall. The blooms 
are 244 to 3 inches in diameter. See 
illustration on back cover. Packet, 25c. 
CUPID ZINNIA, TINY TIM 
Small button-like flowers on well 
formed plants growing about one foot 
in height. Tiny Tim is a rich scarlet 
similar to Red Riding Hood but on a 
more compact bush of better form. 
PHLOX GIGANTEA, ROSY MORN 
Bronze Medal—1941 All-America Selections 
(@®) This new variety possesses the large 
sized blooms, the free flowering 
quality and the fine habit of Gigantea 
Art Shades and Salmon Glory. If not 
unfavorably grown, the blooms will be 
larger than a half dollar. An extremely 
refreshing, gay and bright color combi- 
nation as found in the long popular Pe- 
tunia Rosy Morn except that the rose 
pink in the new Phlox is much deeper, 
providing a color that will not fade in 
the strong sun. Pkt, 25c. 


ZINNIA, 
HOWARD’S NEW GIANT CRESTED 
The blossoms average from 4 to 5 
inches in diameter, with a full rounded 
cushiony center surrounded by broad 
guard petals after the style of a Pyre- 
thrum Roseum. The colors included in 
the strain are charmingly bright and 
fresh, and contain almost all known 
colors with shades of orange, orange 
scarlet, yellow, rose, maize and crimson 
predominating. As a cut flower, or as an 
annual for garden ornamentation, they 
are without peer. The type may be ex- 
pected to reproduce 60 to 70 per cent 
true to this large flowered crested for- 
mation. See illustration on back cover. 
Packet, 25c.
