Hardy Chrysanthemum, September Jewels up 
September Jewels are the most important advance made in 
Chrysanthemums since the introduction of the Korean Hybrids 
The plants start blooming early in September from seed sown in early 
spring and continue to give a magnificent display until the middle 
of October. The large daisy-like flowers in a magnificent color-range 
show a distinct tendency toward a double row of ray petals. They 
measure from 2 to 3 inches in diameter and are as desirable for 
cutting as for garden display. Pkt. 50 cts. 
Cleome, Pink Queen ua 
Silver Medal, 1942 All-America Selections 
This beautiful Spider Flower is a hardy annual, easily grown from 
seed planted directly in the border or garden. A tall, attractive plant, 
free from insects and diseases, with large trusses of bright salmon- 
pink blooms without a trace of magenta. As the lower flowers on the 
trusses fade to blush-pink, others come on and the seed-pods, forming 
on wiry stems along the stalk, give a curiously fantastic and attrac- 
tive appearance. This is the reason for the name ‘Spider Flower.” 
The average height is 3 feet. See illustration in color on inside front 
cover page. Pkt. 25 cts.; large pkt. 75 cts. 
Cosmos, Double Peerless Type Ha 
An early-flowering Cosmos in a beautiful new double form. 
Equally as large as the single Sensation, the 2-inch crested center 
makes it appear even more mammoth. Each plant is a heavy pro- 
ducer of thrifty foliage and flowers, that continue over a long period.

DOBBIE’S NEW ORCHID-FLOWERED. HHP. A Single 
Dahlia of medium size; its peculiar form of petals, which curl

petals are fluted and pointed. Pkt. 20 cts.; large pkt. 50 cts.
