MARIGOLD DWARF FRENCH DOUBLE MELODY 
ALI-AMERICA (iS) SELECTIONS 
Bronze Medal 1942 
Melody is a brilliant orange. The compact plants grow about 12 inches high. 
The “Harmony” type blooms which are around an inch and a quarter in 
diameter appear very early, continuing to develop profusely all summer 
and well into the fall. Its effectiveness as a low border or edging plant or 
in massed effects in beds is unsurpassed. Price per oz. $0.25, per Ib. $3.00. 
MORNING GLORY PEARLY GATES 
ALL-AMERICA (aN) SELECTIONS 
Silver Medal 1942 
The flowers are a lovely lustrous white with creamy shading deep down in 
the throat. They average four and one-half inches across. The vigorous, 
fast-climbing vines are covered with bloom from the middle of summer 
until frost. The leaves are heart shaped, fresh light green in color, and 
luxurious in growth. Pearly Gates is a wonderful companion for Heavenly 
Blue and is sure to be just as popular. It rivals Heavenly Blue in strength 
of vine and size of blossoms and does equally as well in all sections of the 
country. (Originator’s description.) Price per oz. $0.65, per Ib. $8.00. 
NIEREMBERGIA PURPLE ROBE 
ALL-AMERICA (AS) SELECTIONS 
Bronze Medal 1942 
Purple Robe maintains its deep color even in full sun. The plant has a 
neat compact habit and is extremely free flowering. Grows 6” tall, with a 
mature spread of some 10” to 12”. A half-hardy perennial which blooms 
the first year from seed in about 15 weeks. Fine for edging or rockery 
plants. Price per oz. $15.00. 
ZINNIA ROYAL PURPLE 
ALI-AMERICA(AS) SELECTIONS 
Honorable Mention 1942 
The deep rich reddish-purple tones of our Royal Purple Zinnia are a 
charming reminder of the soft velvet of regal robes. This brand-new shade 
in the Dahlia Flowered class is well named. It is even deeper and richer 
in hue than Purple Prince. 
The plants of Royal Purple grow on the average two and one-half to 
three feet tall and are very uniform in habit. The extra-large double blos- 
soms are about four inches in diameter and of excellent form. (Originator’s 
description). Price per oz. $0.35, per Ib. $4.00.
