round, crested center of dainty tubular florets of golden yellow sur- 
rounded by a single row of broad mahogany-red guard petals.

recommended as a bedding plant. Pkt. 15 cts.; large pkt. 40 cts. 
Nierembergia Hippomanica HHP

or grown in pots. Plants are definitely dwarf, not over 5 to 6 inches 
tall, with a spread of only 8 to 10 inches. It forms a cushion of 
elegant light green foliage from which emerge corymbs of salver- 
shaped flowers of a lovely lavender-blue shade, adorned with a 
clear yellow eye. Pkt. 25 cts.; large pkt. 75 cts.

Nierembergia, Purple Robe HHP 
Bronze Medal, 1942 All-America Selections 
Similar to Hippomanica except that the color is a very fine deep 
violet-purple shade that does not fade, even in the hottest climate. 
The plant has a compact, extremely free-flowering habit, is only 
6 inches tall, with a mature spread of some 10 to 12 inches. As it 1s 
slow in germinating, seed should be started in a flat or prepared seed- 
bed. Pkt. 35 cts.; large pkt. $1.

Ideal for spring planting, these fine miniature Pansies bloom in 
about 70 days from time of sowing seed. Dwarf and compact, bushy.

is a deep, yet lively velvety crimson. Mars comes true to type and 
color with blooms 3 inches across. Pkt. 25 cts.; large pkt. 75 cts. 
Petunia hybrida, Radiance HA 
Silver Medal, 1941 All-America Selections 
There is more rich brilliance and life in the color of Radiance 
than in any Petunia that we know of, regardless of type. A cerise- 
rose with enough underlying salmon to remove the harshness com- 
monly found in cerise-rose. The throat is golden yellow below where 
the bloom starts to flare, which tends to add warmth and life to the 
general color. The blooms are 21% to 3 inches in diameter. Pkt. 25 cts.; 
large pkt. 75 cts. 
Petunia hybrida nana compacta, First Lady 
HA 
Silver Medal, 1941 All-America Selections 
A fine dwarf bedding Petunia of a beautiful light or blush-pink. 
The plants are exceptionally uniform and compact and the 2'%-inch 
flowers are borne in profusion all season. Pkt. 25 cts.; large pkt. 
75 cts. 
Petunia hybrida nana compacta, Glow HA 
Silver Medal, 1940 All-America Selections 
A rare combination of dazzling carmine-red color with dwarf, 
bushy growth. Individual flowers measure more than 21% inches 
across and are borne in great profusion. We believe, in richness of 
color, this excels all other existing varieties of similar color. In- 
valuable for pot and for border. Pkt. 15 cts.; large pkt. 40 cts. 
Petunia nana compacta, Violet-Blue Ha 
The grand color of this new Petunia is a rich violet with a 
bright blue cast. The plants are near perfect in their uniform, sym- 
metrical, and compact habit. A decidedly neat plant that will hold 
its fine habit throughout the season. Its clean, dark foliage is hardly 
visible due to the great number of rich, violet-blue flowers. This 
color has been lacking in the Nana compacta group. Pkt. 20 cts.; 
large pkt. 50 ets.
