Ageratum, Midget Blue Ha 
Silver Medal, 1940 All-America Selections 
After many years of selection, a really dwarf Ageratum has been 
found that will come uniformly dwarf and true to color from seed. 
Midget Blue is only 3 to 4 inches high, with delicate, fine foliage 
which is practically smothered with small, true Ageratum-blue 
flowers. Pkt. 20 cts.; large pkt. 50 cts. 
Alyssum maritimum nanum, Violet Queen 
The white-flowering Sweet Alyssum, with its honey-like odor, has 
long been an indispensable garden favorite, more especially the 
dwarf, compact forms which are of such charming effect as edgings 
in the make-up of summer borders. The flowers of this new variety, 
however, have a character peculiarly their own, being a very pretty 
bright violet tint. Pkt. 15 cts.; large pkt. 40 cts.; 1402. 75 cts. 
Antirrhinum pHpP 
3 New Semi-Dwarf Rust-resistant Varieties 
Height, 18 inches 
Both as a cut-flower and for bedding the following varieties will 
go far in furthering the growing popularity of Rust-resistant An- 
tirrhinums. 
AMBER AND GOLD. Buds first appear as a soft rose-pink but 
as the spikes open in full bloom they show florets of full golden 
yellow lips and hoods of golden amber. 
DU BARRY. A flaming salmon-rose with gold shadings. 
RUBY. A bright velvety carmine-crimson color. 
Each, pkt. 25 cts.; large pkt. 75 cts. 
Antirrhinum, Giant Rust-Resistant, Rosalie 
HHB 
Bronze Medal, 1940 All-America Selections 
This exciting color is entirely new in Antirrhinums—a rich deep 
rose with an underlying tone of topaz or amber, giving it a richness 
which makes it stand out conspicuously among all other colors. 
The tube and lip are the same shade, which greatly intensifies the 
depth and richness of color. The plants are base-branching and 
produce from six to eight huge long-flowering spikes on which the 
florets are decidedly well arranged. We cannot recommend it too 
highly for both bedding and cutting. Pkt. 15 cts.; large pkt. 40 cts. 
Antirrhinum, Magic Carpet HHB 
As rock-gardens still stand high in popular favor, any easily grown 
and attractive plants suitable for the purpose will receive an eager 
welcome. This, we are sure, will be the case with this Antirrhinum, 
which is of almost a creeping habit. It nestles amongst the stones 
and clothes them as with a carpet. The flowers appear in a variety 
of soft and pleasing colors. Pkt. 25 cts. 
For complete list of Antirrhinums see pages 12 and 13 
Aster, Early Giant Wilt-Resistant HA 
The finest large-flowered, heavy-stemmed, wilt-resistant Aster 
yet developed. Flowers are of the Giant of California type, while 
the plants are less tall—about 11% feet high. They are early bloom- 
ing, coming into flower four to six weeks earlier than the Giants of 
California. 
ROSE MARIE. Honorable Mention, 1940 All-America Selections. 
Rich rose. 
PEACH BLOSSOM. Opens white, flushes lavender-pink. 
LIGHT BLUE. Silver Medal, 1939 All-America Selections. Clear 
rich light blue. 
Each, pkt. 20 cts.; large pkt. 50 cts. 
Baileya multiradiata, Desert Sunray HA 
Charming flowers, with a thrifty, cultivated appearance like that 
of a garden flower. The plant is a foot tall with grayish green, woolly 
stems and foliage, and the handsome flower is 11% inches across, with 
a fine ruffle of many bright yellow rays, prettily scalloped, and a 
yellow center, rather deeper in color. Thrives in dry places. Pkt. 
25 cts.; large pkt. 75 cts.
