Ipomoea (Morning-Glory), Scarlett O’Hara

Gold Medal, 1939 All-America Selections 
Scarlett O’Hara is an entirely new color in this popular garden 
flower—rich dark wine-red or deep rosy crimson. While the flowers 
are not quite as large as the Heavenly Blue Morning-Glory, they 
are of good size—about 4 inches in diameter,—freely produced on 
fast-growing vines which start blooming within 65 days after seed 
is sown. Pkt. 15 cts.; large pkt. 40 cts.; Woz. 75 cts. 
Ipomoea, Cornell Hac 
The blooms are large (4 to 414 inches in diameter), of an intense 
shade of carnelian-red with a border a little over an eighth of an 
inch wide of pure glistening white, the colors of Cornell University. 
The plants are thick-growing, making a rather heavy growth of 
very attractive bright green foliage. It commences to flower when 
the vine is only 2 to 3 feet tall and continues until the first killing 
frost of autumn. Pkt. 15 cts.; large pkt. 40 cts.; 14oz. 75 cts.

Marigold, Extra-Early, Dwarf Hybrids na 
(Carnation-flowered) 
This is the earliest of all African-type Marigolds. Exceptionally 
free flowering, the color ranging from bright orange to clear lemon, 
including a number of rich medium shades. It grows to a height of 
11% feet, with many base branches and laterals, all blooming at the 
same time, producing a mass of color that completely smothers the 
foliage. The blooms are 2/4 to 3 inches in diameter, of a Guinea-Gold 
type but with a quilled center. Pkt. 15 cts.; large pkt. 40 cts. 
Marigold, Harmony Type Ha 
French Dwarf Double, Spotlight 
The plants are about 12 to 14 inches high, very compact, extremely 
free-blooming, and unusually early, commencing to flower in early 
June. The gay, brilliantly colored flowers of medium size (about 134 
inches in diameter), are borne well above the foliage, and do not 
have the strong Marigold odor. They have the characteristic Har- 
mony flower formation, scabiosa-like, with crested centers of dainty 
tubular petals in a bright, lively yellow shade which contrasts strik- 
ingly with the broad, velvety dark mahogany-red guard petals. Pkt. 
15 cts.; large pkt. 40 cts. 
Marigold, Mission Giants HA 
A new personality in Marigolds of exceptional merit. The plants, 
which grow about 18 inches high, are base branching and produce 
from 8 to 12 stems of excellent cutting length. The blooms, which 
measure from 4 to 5 inches in diameter, are almost a perfect ball. 
In both size and form they remind one of the large incurved chrys- 
anthemums that are seen in the flower shops at Thanksgiving.

Selections. A rich golden orange. Pkt. 25 cts.; large pkt. 75 cts.

Marigold, Scarlet Glow HA 
Honorable Mention, 1941 All-America Selections 
Brightest red of all Dwarf Double French Marigolds, opening 
brilliant scarlet; as they age, turning to rich tangerine. Fully double, 
134 to 2 inches across, borne most profusely on dwarf plants 10 inches 
in height and with a spread of 18 inches. Begins to bloom in 10 weeks 
from seed and continues until frost. While perfect for small beds, 
borders and edging, the stems are long enough to be suitable for 
cutting. Pkt. 25 cts.; oz. $1. 
Marigold, Spry Ha 
Silver Medal, 1941 All-America Selections 
Most profuse-blooming of all Marigolds. True Lilliput-form plants 
extremely dwarf and compact, about 9 inches high and spreading 
15 inches. The 1!4-inch flowers have a bright clear yellow crested 
center surrounded by several rows of mahogany-red guard petals, 
coming into bloom in less than 9 weeks after seed is sown. Pkt. 
(100 seeds) 25 cts.; 500 seeds $1. 
Marigold, Giant Yellow Supreme HA 
(Colchicine Induced) 
This larger version of one of the most popular Marigolds ever put 
before the public is the result of several years of breeding. The 
blossoms of rich saffron-yellow average 4 inches across and have 
a sweet fragrance. The petals are arranged in carnation-like effect. 
The plants are sturdy and free-blooming, showing the typical effect 
of tetraploids induced by the magic drug, colchicine. Of deeper 
color and much larger than those of regular Yellow Supreme, the 
flowers of Giant Yellow Supreme are vastly more attractive than 
those of its parent. See color illustration, 2d cover. Pkt. 25 cts.
