Nierembergia Purple Robe 
(Bodger) 
Bronze Medal All-America Selections 1942 
URPLE ROBE, in the short time it 
has been on the market, has cer- 
tainly proved itself a popular rockery 
and edging subject for the garden. The 
dwarf compact growing plants are 
very neat and extremely free flower- 
ing, only six inches tall with a mature 
spread of some ten to twelve inches. 
The small cup-like blooms of deep vio- 
let purple produced in great profusion 
retain their rich coloring throughout the heat of summer. A half-hardy per- 
ennial, Purple Robe blooms the first year from seed about fifteen weeks after 
sowing. Since it is slow germinating, seed should always be started in a flat or 
prepared seed bed rather than in the open garden. 
No. 5278 .... Price per !/; oz., $4.50 Per oz., $15.00 
Approximately 168,300 seeds per ounce.

Calendula Chrysantha 
Gold Medal All-America Selections 1934’ 
NTHUSIASTICALLY welcomed when intro- 
duced nearly ten years ago, Chrysantha has 
maintained its very real popularity both as a 
garden subject and particularly for cut flower use. 
A beautiful shade of clear buttercup yellow the 
large blooms with attractively incurved petals are 
carried on long heavy stems admirably adapted 
for cutting purposes. The plants are somewhat 
taller growing than most Calendulas and give a 
much more colorful mass of blooms because of the 
length of stems bringing the flowers well above the 
mass of foliage. A winner in 1934, still tops in 1943. 
No. 2464.... Price per oz., $.18 Per lb., $1.75 
Approximately 4,000 seeds per ounce.
