401 VERBENA BONARIENSIS 
Treat as Annual 4 feet 
A handsome South American species with slender branching stems which attain a height 
of about 4 feet and bear numerous terminal sprays of Heliotrope flowers, during July and August. 
A new and entirely different type of Verbena which will, we are sure, win a permanent place 
in North American gardens. Because of its habit of growth, it is very effective planted behind 
or mixed with bright yellow or white annuals of somewhat dwarfer and more bushy form. 
Pkt. 35c., 3 pkts. 60c.

2858 PANSY, Century of Progress 
Treat as Biennial 1 foot 
In our many years of experience we have never seen a strain of mixed Pansies that pro- 
duced flowers of such colossal size or such rare individual beauty. The results of a century of 
progress in Pansy development are certainly manifest when one compares these superb crea- 
tions with Pansies of even the best commercial strains. The mixture has purposely been re- 
stricted in the number of colors, but each type of flower has undergone “laboratory” selection 
for size, texture, and individua! beauty. The blooms are truly colossal. Pkt. 75c., 3 pkts. $1.75 
2984 PETUNIA, First Lady 
Treat as Hardy Annual 1 foot 
Beautiful, clear light pink blooms about 
21% inches in diameter, on uniformly shaped 
plants of the dwarf bedding Petunia type. 
An entirely new shade among Petunias. 
Awarded a silver medal in the All-America 
Selections for 1940, but introduced in 1941 
for the first time. ‘‘First Lady’’ has already 
won a host of admirers. Pkt. 35c., 3 pkts. 85c. 
2162 HOLLYHOCK, 
Indian Spring 
Hardy Annual 3 to 4 feet 
A very attractive variety of Hollyhock, 
easily grown and one which will flower early 
in the same season that the seed is sown. 
The color is clear pink flushed with shades 
of bright rose and rosy carmine. The blooms 
vary from semi-double to fully double in form 
and are borne on 3 to 4 ft. spikes. As these 
central flower spikes pass they are replaced 
by a secondary growth of side branches which 
supply a wealth of color throughout the bal- 
ance of the season. A very handsome and 
showy garden plant. Pkt. 25c., 3 pkts. 60c.
