Marigold, Dwarf Gigantea, Pot o’Gold Ha 
This showy, fragrant Marigold is a dwarf-growing counterpart of 
the Gigantea type. The plants are compact, 12 to 15 inches tall, 
well branched, very neat in appearance, and bear a dozen or more 
blooms at a time. The flowers, which are a penetrating shade of deep 
golden orange, are somewhat loosely formed, very full centered, with 
broad heavy petals overlapping, thus making a flower of great depth 
and beauty. This strain is exceptionally early flowering. Pkt. 25 cts.; 
large pkt. 75 cts. 
Marigold, Dwarf Gigantea, Gypsy Jewels 
HA 
Like its color variety counterpart Pot o’Gold, Gypsy Jewels is 
colorful and showy. Gypsy Jewels is a mixture of brilliant colors 
including deep rich orange, dazzling golden orange, glistening golden 
yellow, canary-yellow, lemon-yellow, and primrose or sulphur. The 
dwarf, compact, neatly formed plants, 12 to 15 inches in height, are 
extremely free blooming, bearing their 4 to 414-inch flowers proudly 
displayed. The strain is exceptionally early blooming. Enjoy Gypsy 
Jewels in the garden and in bouquets for the home. Pkt. 20 cts.; 
large pkt. 50 cts.

Marigold, Harmony Type Ha 
French, Tall, Single, Ferdinand 
One of the gayest of the new Marigolds. Single flower with a neat, 
round, crested center of dainty tubular florets of golden yellow sur- 
rounded by a single row of broad mahogany-red guard petals. 
Medium size but extremely showy and attractive. 24 inches high 
and early blooming. Does not have the strong Marigold odor. Pkt. 
15 cts.; large pkt. 40 cts. 
Marigold, African, Little Giants, Orange HA 
The average height is only 15 inches, yet it produces a head of 
25 or more beautiful bright orange flowers 4 inches in diameter, of 
both the Carnation and Fistulosa type. Little Giants is strongly 
recommended as a bedding plant. Pkt. 15 cts.; large pkt. 40 cts. 
Nierembergia Hippomanica HHP 
A half-hardy perennial best treated as an annual, blooming in 
about 15 weeks after seed is sown. This beautiful solanaceous plant 
is an admirable subject for edging, in the rock-garden, window-box, 
or grown in pots. Plants are definitely dwarf, not over 5 to 6 inches 
tall, with a spread of only 8 to 10 inches. It forms a cushion of 
elegant light green foliage from which emerge corymbs of salver- 
shaped flowers of a lovely lavender-blue shade, adorned with a 
clear yellow eye. Pkt. 25 cts.; large pkt. 75 cts. 
Dwarf Bedding Petunia, Cream Star HA 
(Petunia hybrida nana compacta) 
Silver Medal, 1940 All-America Selections 
Plants have the finest dwarf, bushy habit ever seen in the Nana 
compacta group of Petunias. When full grown, they are 1 foot high, 
neatly rounded, and completely covered with flowers over the sides 
and top. Flowers grow 214 inches across and are shaped like a five- 
pointed star; soft creamy white deepening toward the throat to a 
bright golden yellow. Ideally suited for low beds, borders, and 
edgings. Pkt. 25 cts.; large pkt. 75 cts. 
Petunia hybrida, Radiance HA 
Silver Medal, 1941 All-America Selections 
An outstanding new Petunia. There is more rich brilliance and 
life in the color of Radiance than in any Petunia that we know of, 
regardless of type. A cerise-rose with enough underlying salmon to 
remove the harshness commonly found in cerise-rose. The throat is 
golden yellow below where the bloom starts to flare, which tends to 
add warmth and life to the general color. This new Petunia is 
decidedly floriferous and holds its uniform and neat habit well into 
the late fall. The blooms are 2% to 3 inches in diameter. See color 
illustration on front cover. Pkt. 25 cts.; large pkt. 75 cts. 
Petunia hybrida nana compacta, First Lady 
HA 
Silver Medal, 1941 All-America Selections 
A fine dwarf bedding Petunia of a beautiful light or blush-pink. 
The plants are exceptionally uniform and compact and the 24-inch 
flowers are borne in profusion all season. See color illustration on 
front cover. Pkt. 25 cts.; large pkt. 75 cts. 
Petunia hybrida nana compacta, Glow HA 
Silver Medal, 1940 All-America Selections 
A rare combination of dazzling carmine-red color with dwarf, 
bushy growth. Individual flowers measure more than 21% inches 
across and are borne in great profusion. We believe, in richness of 
color, this excels all other existing varieties of similar color. Under 
the sun the glowing carmine-red is particularly fascinating. In- 
valuable for pot and for border. Pkt. 15 cts.; large pkt. 40 cts. 
Petunia nana compacta, Violet-Blue HA 
The grand color of this new Petunia, which is a rich violet with a 
bright blue cast, justifies its being classed as the most important 
addition yet to be developed in the Nana compacta group. The 
plants are near perfect in their uniform, symmetrical, and compact 
habit. A decidedly neat plant that will hold its fine habit throughout 
the season. Its clean, dark foliage is hardly visible due to the great 
number of rich, violet-blue flowers. This color has been lacking in 
the Nana compacta group and we strongly recommend this new 
Petunia. Pkt. 20 cts.; large pkt. 50 cts.
