“Igloo”? Petunias 
“SUNKIST’? MARIGOLD 
Silver Medal All-America Selections 1943 
3432—A very dwarf, compact growing bright 
orange. It comes into bloom very early and 
continues all summer. The plants remain very 
low and uniform, making it an ideal variety 
for a beautiful pure orange border. It is a 
splendid companion to “Spry” and “Pygmy” 
(page 69.) Pkt. 25c.

HARRIS’ TWO NEW 
All-America Winners 
for 1943 
“IGLOO” PETUNIA 
The New Extra Compact White Petunia 
Bronze Medal All-America White Petunia 
3851—The advantages of this new petunia are 
its unusually free-blooming habit and its com- 
pact and uniform growth. We have never seen 
a petunia that continues to have such a wealth 
of flowers throughout the entire summer. 
The flowers are medium size and every one 
just alike, while every plant is a perfect mound 
of white 8 to 10 inches high, reminding one of 
an Eskimo igloo. It makes an ideal white 
border. Pkt. 25c; Lg. Pkt. 50c. 
“ENGLISH VIOLET’? PETUNIA 
Honorable Mention All-America Selections 1943 
3847—A new and much more pleasing shade of 
violet-blue, different from any other mid-blue 
variety. It is very similar to the beautiful blue 
of the English violets, being lighter than Dark 
Purple and darker than Heavenly Blue (see 
page 60.) The plants grow 15 to 18 inches tall, 
and every plant and every flower are exactly 
alike. We believe this is the best mid-blue 
petunia ever introduced. 
Pkt. 25c; Lg. Pkt. 50c.

JOHNNY JUMP-UP 
3768—Viola Tricolor. These pretty little pansy- 
like hardy Violas of our grandmother’s garden 
are just as enchanting today as they were then. 
If left undisturbed they will eventually make a 
dense carpet, blooming all summer in combina- 
tions of purple, blue and yellow. Pkt. 25c. 
TAHOKA DAISY 
7952—Blue Daisy. The daisy-like single flowers 
of pure blue-lavender are profusely borne on 
bushy, compact plants 18 to 20 in. tall. The 
foliage is fine and fern-like, the flower stems of 
good length for cutting. They seem to thrive 
and continue to bloom throughout the most 
severe summer heat. Sow the seed outdoors in 
the early spring. Pkt. 15¢; 14 Oz. 75c. 
STAR OF TEXAS 
5194—Xanthisma Texanum. A new free- 
flowering annual for dry, sunny locations. The 
bright yellow daisy-like flowers are on neat, 
bushy plants 18 inches tall. Very easy to grow 
from seed sowed in the open. 
Pkt. 15¢; 14 Oz. 75e. 
TOBATY VERBENA 
7946—A giant Verbena from Paraguay. It grows 
to 3 ft. tall and each long slender branch is 
topped with a large flat cluster of soft blue 
blooms. Sown in the early spring it will bloom 
continuously until severe freezing weather. 
Pkt. 25c.

“English Violet’? Petunias 
“VICTORY GIANT’ ASTERS 
Honorable Mention All-America Selections 1943 
1700—Mlixed Colors. A new race of Asters sure 
to become very popular. The flowers are 
enormous, the stems long and clean, and the 
colors unusual. There are salmon shades and 
stripes in addition to white, light pink, rose 
and various shades of blue. They start flower- 
ing earlier than any other such large flowered 
variety. Pkt. 25c.
