2935 PETUNIA, Glamour 
Honorable Mention, 1942 A. A.S. 
Treat as Hardy Annual 15 to 18 inches 
The blooms are deeply ruffled and are of the “Giants 
of California” type. The color is a rich salmon-rose, 
with brown veining on a creamy buff background deep 
in the wide-open throat. It begins to bloom early in 
the summer and continues to flower freely and without 
lapse until frost checks it late in the fall. ‘“Glamour” 
is illustrated in full color on the front cover of this 
catalogue—a true reproduction of a direct color photo- 
graph taken in our trial grounds during the past 
summer. It really is the richest colored and the most 
gloriously beautiful Petunia that we have ever seen.

1393 CLEOME, Pink Queen 
Silver Medal, 1942 A. A.S. 
Hardy Annual Border Plant 4 feet 
Huge heads of delightful, clear pink blooms, without 
a trace of blue or magenta, borne high on tall, well 
branched and attractive plants, with clean and airy 
foliage. It starts to bloom in early July and continues 
on without a lapse until frost cuts it down. Known 
simply as the “Pink Spider Plant” but truly a magni- 
ficent introduction and more than worthy of the honors 
heaped upon it. Jllustrated in color on the back cover of 
this catalog. Pkt. 25c., 3 pkts. 60c. 
1432 CORAL FLOWER 
Half- Hardy Annual 2 feet 
A new annual flower of exquisite, jewel-like daintiness 
and vivid coloring. The foliage, too, is decorative— 
rich, dark green leaves in dense clusters at the base of 
the plant—and from these clusters rise slim wiry stems 
bearing minute starry flowers of rosy pink. These 
blooms are followed by berry-like capsules, each like a 
bead of coral polished to intense brilliancy; hundreds 
of them on each of the spire-like stems. Suitable for 
both bedding and cutting. Pkt 25c., 3 pkts..60c.

All America Selections. Three to four foot plants with 
airy serrated foliage and striking blooms on long, wiry 
stems. T[ilustrated in color on the back cover of this

MORNING GLORY, Pearly Gates 
2250 Silver Medal, 1942 A.A.S. 
Annual Climber 12 feet 
Immense blooms of such purity that one can well 
imagine them adorning the heavenly gateway. The 
vines reach a height of about 12 feet and are com- 
pletely covered all Summer long with lustrous white 
flowers, made whiter by contrast with the fresh green 
of the foliage. In earliness, in profusion of bloom and in 
luxurious foliage, this admirable climber is identical 
with the older favorite, “Heavenly Blue.”

An outstanding little annual with tiny, glittering 
gold, star-like flowers, generously scattered over a dense 
mat of attractive finely cut foliage. Blooms continu- 
ously from early Summer until frost. Its splendid 
spreading character adapts it to use as a low edging. 
A unique rock garden plant. Pkt. 25c., 3 pkts. 60c.
