NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1942 
AND PRECEDING YEARS 
MARIGOLDS 
2075—African Little Giants Mixed—A symmetrical, 
compact plant only 15 inches in height literally cov- 
ered with from 20 to 35 beautiful 4-inch flowers rang- 
ing in color from yellow to bright orange. The blooms 
vary in form from the informal carnation to the per- 
fect ball shape, and the foliage is a beautiful dark 
green. Pkt. 25c. 
2037—Dwarf Gigantea Pot o’ Gold—One of the best 
outstanding marigolds this year for its compact bush 
form. Grows 15 inches high, well branched, bearing 
12 or more blooms at one time; color deep golden 
orange. Individual blooms are 4 to 414 inches in diam- 
eter; come in bloom six weeks earlier than other

ium lover, who is hunting something new, will be 
delighted with this new variety with its unusual col- 
orings and heavy glistening texture. It is 60 to 80 
per cent mildew resistant and especially successful 
for show purposes. Mixed, pkt. 35c. 
575—ALYSSUM 
Violet Queen—A new edging plant with a color 
peculiarly its own, being of a very pretty bright violet 
tint much deeper in color than the Alyssum Lilac 
Carpet offered previously, and does not fade in hot 
weather. It has the usual honey-like odor of the white 
variety. 4 inch. Pkt. 15c. 
3465—_SWEET WILLIAMS 
Midget Single Mixed—3-4 in. The habit of this Sweet 
William Dwarf Alpine Mixed is very uniform, each 
plant being about the same size, both in height and 
circumference. Our blend contains a wonderful color 
balance. The blooms, which almost entirely cover the 
foliage, are large flowered. This little Sweet William 
should make a wonderful perennial border and pot 
plant. The color range is from white, chamois, salmon, 
scarlet, brick red to maroon, with most of the blooms 
being tri-colored. Pkt. 15c. 
TITHONIA 
3481—Speciosa Grandiflora Fireball—Dazzling as a 
ball of fire poised high above other flowers. Fire ball is 
undoubtedly the last word in brilliance of color in a 
fall blooming plant. This flower is a very brilliant 
vibrant shade of scarlet orange, the petals in dazzling 
contrast to the clear yellow center. The gaily colored 
flowers are single, very large, 4144 to 5 inches in diam- 
eter and are carried on fine long stems. The plants are 
very tall, some reaching a height of 8 feet, with a 
grayish green woolly foliage. Start seeds inside and 
set out after all danger of frost is over. Pkt. 15c. 
ZINNIA STRIATA 
3651—The Clown is an amusing new Zinnia cheer- 
ily striped scarlet and gold—a new-found jewel 
for the cutting garden, for the annual border and 
most especially for flower arrangements. The 214-inch 
to 3-inch medium sized blooms are of the very free 
flowering character and very colorful. Like other 
Zinnias, the more flowers cut the more will be pro- 
duced. Pkt. 25c. 
3653—Old Glory will certainly be a welcome addi- 
tion to the patriotic section of the garden. Gaily 
striped red and white, this colorful newcomer is most 
effective in flower arrangements as well as being an 
‘ interesting subject in the garden. The flowers are 
medium sized, 214 inches to 3 inches in diameter, car- 
ried on plants attaining a height of approximately 
two and a half feet. Very early and extremely free 
blooming until frost if kept picked. Pkt. 25c. 
ZINNIA 
3653—Howard’s New Giant Crested—This new zinnia 
is an outstanding one for cut flower purposes, keeping 
fresh a long time after being cut. The blossoms aver- 
age from 4 to 5 inches in diameter, with a full rounded 
cushiony center surrounded by broad guard petals 
after the style of a pyrethrum flower. The colors in- 
cluded in this strain are charming shades of orange, 
orange-scarlet, yellow, rose and crimson. This new 
type zinnia will produce 65 per cent or more true to 
form. Pkt. 25c. 
MARIGOLD 
2091—Spry—Extra dwarf double French type. This 
is one marigold that every garden lover should have 
this year, because of its outstanding color. The most 
profusely blooming of all marigolds. An early bloomer, 
growing nine inches high of compact form. Mahogany 
red with yellow crested center. Pkt. 25c. , 
SCABIOSA 
2820—Peace—Semi-tall, double white. This is in our 
estimation one of the best white cut flowers to be in- ~ 
troduced on the market for its lasting quality. Grows 
twelve to fourteen inches high, with eight-inch stems 
for cut flowers. Flowers measuring one and three quar- 
ter inches in diameter, shaped like a bee hive.

DOUBLE RED MOONFLOWER 
Blossoms in Daylight 
2180—Double Rose Marie—We are not surprised by o 
morning glories which belong to the moonflower fam- 
ily (Ipomoeas) but a double morning glory is some- 
thing to talk about. It grows well and produces freely 
its lovely double flowers which decorate both the gar- 
den and the house, as well as furnishing an interesting 
topic of conversation. Pkt. 25c. |
