2374 Marigold, Honeycomb 
Illustrated in color on back cover. 
A Dwarf Double African Marigold that is entirely new; its flower form is pleasingly 
different. Flowers are somewhat like the chrysanthemum-flowered types, but instead 
of the florets being curled and interlaced, they are erect-like and so arranged as to re- 
semble a honeycomb in appearance, hence the name. Added to this unique flower form 
is a color that is rich, deep, sparkling and attractive,—a most intense marigold orange. 
Honeycomb is very early flowering, grows about 14 in. high, and when in bloom is a 
veritable mass of color. Most effective in beds and borders, and although the plants 
are dwarf, cutting stems of good length may be obtained; in fact, entire plants when 
cut are a bouquet themselves. In addition to these good features, the foliage is entirely 
without the usual marigold odor. Pkt. 25¢; 4 oz. $1.00; 14 oz. $1.75. 
2441 Bush Petunia, Eleanor 
The plant habit of Eleanor Petunia is distinctly different, being thickly branched so that 
the stems figuratively stand up in a bush-like, erect manner, 2 ft. and more in height. 
Flowers are large, up to 3 in. in diameter, wide open in true hybrida form, light rosy 
mauve heavily veined carmine-crimson in the throat and becoming lighter as they 
spread out over the flower, disappearing near the edges. The markings remind one of a 
salpiglossis. Eleanor Petunia is wonderful for cutting. In the garden it is valuable for 
beds and borders, and may be used to advantage in back of lower growing petunias or 
other annuals. Free and continuous bloomer. Pkt. 25¢; “%Y6 oz. 60¢; 4 oz. $1.00.
