PARTICULARLY FAVORED IN AMERICAN GARDENS 
Ageratum, Midget Blue Per Pkt. 35c 
Silver Medal, 1940 All-America Selections. After many years of selec- 
tion, 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. 
PEE Violet Queen Per Pkt. 35c 
sensational new development in the ever-popular Sweet Alyssum. Un- 
questionably one of the leading novelties of the season, this revolu- 
tionary development presents a needed compact and dwarf free flower- 
ing Alyssum with flowers sweetly scented in a rich deep shade of violet. 
In trials last year the rich color of the blossom was retained throughout 
the entire season, and the plants were in constant bloom until hard 
killing frost. 
Antirrhinum, Rust-Resistant, Copper Queen (RerePhtaooc 
A new super-giant variety which grows over 3 feet high. The color of 
the flower is a novel bronze, blending to old gold at the base; it is so 
brilliant that it will remind you of a new penny, fresh from the mint. 
Antirrhinum, Rust-Resistant, Rosalie Rem Pht, 30c¢ 
Bronze Medal, 1940 All-America Selections. This exciting color is en- 
tirely new in Antirrhinums—a rich deep rose with an underlying tone of 
topaz or amber, giving it a richness which makes it stand out conspicu- 
ously 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. 
Antirrhinum, Magic Carpet Per Pkt. 35c 
As rock gardens still stand high in popular favor, any new, easily grown, 
and attractive plants suitable for the purpose will receive an eager 
welcome. This, we are sure, will be the cace with this new 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. 
Aster, Early Giant Wilt Resistant, Rose Marie Per Pkt. 35c 
A fine rose-colored Aster, bright and rich in tone. Recommended for 
the home garden where a bed will look well and will furnish the home 
with cut blooms. Flowers are 4 to 5 inches across, have long florets with 
solid feathery centers, and are on long stems. Height 11% to 2 feet. 
Cosmos, Sensation Crested Per Phi, 3c 
Silver Medal, 1936 All-America Selections. A new double form of the 
early-flowering Sensation Cosmos. Two forms of double flowers are 
found, the regular double crested and the newer and novel fluted types, 
both averaging from 414 to 5 inches across. The fluted flowers are in 
a variety of shapes and forms, some with 15 to 20 extra petals growing 
out from the center. The colors are White, Pink, and Crimson in mix- 
ture. Height 3 to 4 feet. 
Cynoglossum Amabile Compactum, Firmament Per Pkt. 35c 
All-America Bronze Medal 1939. One of the most outstanding develop- 
ments in cut flower annuals. This cut-and-come-again annual Chinese 
Forget-me-not is a constant source of exquisite blue flowers throughout 
the entire summer. 
Marigold, Mission Giant, Goldsmith Per Pkt. 35c 
All-America Bronze Medal. Plants of exceptional vigor grow 2 feet high, 
but they may all attain 3 or even 4 feet in strong land. They develop 
branches close to the ground, and thus produce veritable bushes; these 
are covered with large, long-stemmed flowers, which are round, fully 
double and saffron-goid, 4 to 5 inches across, with quilled and: in- 
curved florets, reminding one of a Chrysanthemum. Starts to bloom 
early. 
Marigold, Chrysanthemum-Flowered, Limelight Per Pkt. 35c 
Of the Chrysanthemum-flowered type, but the effect is novel in that 
the color is primrose or deep cream. Strong to grow, quick to flower, 
the leaves are deep green and the plant grows 20 inches high. 
Marigold, Yellow Supreme Per Pkt. 35c 
All-America Gold Medal Winner. By far the most outstanding yellow 
Marigold for bedding and cutting. The exquisite shade provides a flower 
of extreme delicacy that will enhance the color scheme of any garden 
or of any cut flower arrangement. Yellow Supreme is an early flowering, 
strong growing, prolific variety, free from the offensive Marigold odor, 
and merits a place in any garden. 
Rerektaooc 
Marigold, Scarlet Glow 
Honorable Mention, 1941 All-America selections. Brightest red of all 
Dwarf Double French Marigolds, opening brilliant scarlet; as they age, 
turning to rich tangerine. Fully double, 134 to 2 inches across, borne 
most profusely on dwarf plants 10 inches in height and with a spread 
of 18 inches. Begins to bloom in 10 weeks from seed and continues 
until frost. While perfect for small beds, borders and edging, the stems 
are long enough to be suitable for cutting. 
Per Pkt. 35c 
Marigold, Miniature, Spry ; 
_ All-America Silver Medal. The little bushes are only 9 inches high. 
Placed around a bed of Petunias, Antirrhinums, or Geraniums they make 
an ideal edging. All summer, and right into autumn frost, they are 
covered with double flowers, each having a crested center of light 
yellow, surrounded by flat outer florets of maroon. More and brighter 
flowers is the improvement in this kind. 
Per Pkt. 35c 
Marigold, Miniature, Yellow Pygmy 
This is a little 8-inch plant, to border a flower-bed or mark the edge 
of a garden path; it has double light lemon-yellow flowers. 11/4 inches 
across.

Petunia, Cream Star Per Pkt: 35c 
Silver Medal, 1940 All-America Selections. Plants have the finest dwarf, 
bushy habit ever seen in the Nana compacta group of Petunias. When 
full grown, they are 1 foot high, neatly rounded, and completely covered 
with flowers over the sides and top. Flowers grow 21/4 inches across and 
are shaped like a five-pointed star; soft creamy white deepening toward 
the throat to a bright golden yellow. Ideally suited for low beds, bor- 
ders, and edgings. 
Petunia, First Lady Per Pkt. 35c 
All-America Silver Medal. Beautiful blooms of light blush-pink (a rare 
hue) are 21% inches across. We recommend this new kind for bedding 
for two reasons: the color is excellent, while the compact flower-covered 
plants have a uniformity in size and shape that will impart a touch of 
the skilled craftsman to your flower-bed. Height 1 foot. 
Petunia, Glow Per Pkt. 35c 
All-America Silver Medal 1940. Of all of the rosy type of bedding 
Petunias, Glow is most outstanding. The color, rather than fading in 
the hot sun, becomes intensified and affords a splendid contrast when 
planted in combination with white, blue, or light pink Petunias. 
Petunia, Martha Washington Per Pkt. 35c 
Well-rounded compact plants 9 inches tall covered with extra-large 
ruffled blooms of bright flesh pink with wine-red veins leading into a 
deep dark violet throat. 
Petunia, General Washington Per Pkt. 35c

ton, famous for its well ruffled blooms, free-flowering habit and fine, 
compact, ball-shaped growth. General Washington is a rich, velvety 
amaranth-red with a glistening black throat. Flowers 3 or more inches 
in diameter. 
Petunia, Violet Gem Per Pkt. 35c 
Honorable Mention, 1941 All-America Selections. Violet Gem, like its 
predecessors in this class, is a true miniature in every respect. The 
plants are neat, dwarf and compact. The blooms are just the size you 
would expect to find on this type of plant, free blooming almost to a 
fault, because throughout the season the rich violet-blue blooms are 
so plentiful that they all but completely hide the dark green foliage. 
Petunia, Snowstorm Improved Per Pkt. 35c 
Petunia Snowstorm Improved, since its introduction, has proven to be 
the most popular pure white Petunia in existence. Of dwarf compact 
habit, the flowers attain a size of three inches in diameter with a deli- 
cate wave in the petals. Our improved strain of Snowstorm has been 
especially selected for its dwarf and free flowering habit and the seed 
is 100% true. Petunia Snowstorm lends itself especially well for win- 
dow box planting. 
Petunia, Dwarf Double Blue Brocade Per Pkt. 35c 
Highest winner of Silver Medal. A new and rich color in a giant fringed 
type, high percentage of fully double flowers of pleasing fragrance. 
A free bloomer of good average-sized blooms. Distinct new color and a 
variety that will prove splendid for bedding or border. 
Phlox Drummondi Gigantea, Rosy Morn Per Pkt. 35c 
Bronze Medal, 1941 All-America Selections. A fine addition to this 
grand type of annual Phlox. This new variety possesses the large-sized 
blooms, the free-flowering quality and fine habit of Art Shades and 
Salmon Glory. An extremely refreshing, gay and bright color; a com- 
bination of rose-pink with a white eye. 
Phlox Drummondi Gigantea, Salmon Glory Per Pkt. 35c 
Silver Medal, 1939 All-America Selections. This beautiful Annual Phlox, 
growing about 10 inches high, is a prolific bloomer. The florets and 
trusses are enormous, the individual florets measuring 1% inches in 
diameter. Color is a pure salmon-pink with a distinct creamy white eye 
and with its ciear, clean, crisp appearance, makes one of the most beau- 
tiful color combinations we have ever seen. 
Scabiosa, Imperial Giant, Blue Moon Per Pkt. 35c 
Honorable Mention, All-America Selections. This new type has flowers 
fully double, extremely large and deep, about the shape of an old- 
fashioned beehive. The color is a rich, deep lavender-blue, a shade 
which maintains its effectiveness indoors or out. Plants are extremely 
upright, 3/2 to 4 feet tall. 
Scabiosa, Heavenly Blue Per Pkt. 35c 
Ideal bedding variety because the plants are compact and the flowers 
are on short stems. They are cone-shaped and a lovely shade of azure- 
blue. A very early sort, 114 feet high. 
Scabiosa, Peace Per Pkt. 35¢ 
All-America Honorable Mention. A fully double, white Sweet Scabious, 
and an ideal annual for cutting. It may be grown or shown to excellent 
advantage along with a blue variety. Flowers are shaped like a beehive 
134 inches across, and are borne on 8-inch long stems. 
Zinnia, Giant Crested Mixed Rem Pkia3oc 
The blossoms average from 4 to 5 inches in diameter, with a full rounded 
cushiony center surrounded by broad guard petals after the style of a 
Pyrethrum roseum. The colors included in the strain are charmingly 
bright and fresh, and contain almost all known colors and shades of 
color to be found in this most popular of annual plants. Magnificent 
shades of orange, orange-scarlet, yellow, rose, maize and crimson pre- 
dominate. As a cut flower, or as an annual for garden ornamentation, 
they are without peer. The type may be expected to reproduce 60 to 
65 per cent true to this large-flowered crested formation. 
Zinnia, Lilliput, Black Ruby Per Pkt. 35c 
Bronze Medal, 1941 All-America Selections. A new color in Lilliputs— 
deep blackish maroon. An extremely deep shade but by no means dull, 
for the velvety petal-texture gives it a very rich appearance. Double 
flowers 1 to 114 inches in diameter and the same in depth. Borne on 
long, straight, wiry stems so highly prized for cutting. Plants form 
erect bushes 2 feet tall, about 1 feet wide.
