Marigold, Dwarf Harmony Hybrids, Mixed 
1037. DOUBLE HARMONY HYBRIDS, MIXED. H. A. 
For several years Marigold Harmony has been a very 
popular, all around garden and cut flower. It always 
comes practically 100 per cent true from seed which has made it quite 
difficult for the plant breeders to obtain new colors. It is a pleasure to be 
able to offer this year this beautiful flower in a mixed combination of colors. 
These compact plants are from 12 to 14 inches in height, 100 per cent 
double, and flowering commences about two and one-half months after seed 
is sown. The flowers are of medium size, rather large for the French type, 
averaging 134 inches in diameter. They do not have the strong Marigold 
odor. The color range includes the popular Harmony, a lovely golden-orange 
shade, distinct golden-yellow, and innumerable blotched and striped com- 
binations of golden-orange with maroon and various shades of gold and 
lemon-yellow with contrasting dark maroon. Flowers have the familiar 
crested center flanked with several rows of broad dark petals. Pkt., 10c; 
2 pkts., 15c; 1% oz., 35c; oz., 6Oc. 


1129; GARTFORD GIANT 
ART SHADES. H. P. The 
Nudicaule or Iceland Poppies 
are extremely interesting 
Poppie The lack of popu- 
larity in this strain of Poppy 
the past years was due to 
the lack of attractive colors. 
This new Art Shades mix 
ture is an excellent strain 
with exceptionally fine large 
flowers, beautifully fluted and 
soft textured carried on ex- 
tremely long, heavy iry 
stems up to 30 inches in 
length which are produced in 
quantity on each plant. They 
bloom early in the spring 
and are excellent for cut- 
ting when properly treated. 
The ends of the stems 
should be burned or dipped 
in hot water and they will 
last for several days. The 
color range in this mixture 
includes lovely pastel shades 
of apricot, cream, gold, 
pink, white and various 
shades of rose. Swaying on 
their long wiry stems, they 
are a beautiful sight in the 
spring garden. Pkt., 15c; 2 
Poppy, Nudicaule, Gartford pkts., 25c; 14 oz., 70c; 1/4 
Giant Art Shades oz., $1.30; oz., $2.50. 




1087. MINIATURE RUFFLED BETSY ROSS. H. A. Not since the 
introduction of Petunia Martha Washington has a new color com- 
bination been found in this type of Petunia. The color of Betsy 
Ross is red and white, the white blending to golden and the red 
blending to very deep red in the throat. The blooms are actually 
21% inches in diameter, well ruffled with good open throat. The 
color combination of these flowers gives the individual plant as 
well as the row of plants a decidedly gay effect. This variety is 
excellent for bedding as well as for front row borders. We predict 
that it will prove a very popular pot plant. The plants are uni- 
formly of a very dwarf growth with the foliage completely covered 
with ruffled blooms. Please note the bicolor Petunias do not always 
come true under varying soil and weather conditions, but Betsy Ross 
is well worth a trial in your garden. Pkt., 20c; 2 pkts., 35c; 1/32 
oz., 80c; 1/16 oz., $1.45; 1% oz., $2.70; 14 oz., $5.00. 




Nierembergia, Hippomanica 
1069. HIPPOMANICA (Dwarf Cup Flower). T. P. While in the South this is a 
hardy perennial, it must be grown here in the North as an annual, It is one of the 
most prolific flowering plants that we know of. It starts to flower when the plants 
are only two inches tall, or about fifteen weeks after the seed has been sown, and 
keeps right on until heavy frosts. The plant at all times is neat and compact ap- 
pearing, the new flowers covering the older flowers and seed pods. The laven- 
der-blue flowers enriched by a touch of yellow in the center are most charming, 
Plants are very dwarf, compact, and not over six inches high with a spread of ten 
inches. Foliage is light gray green. Recommended for an edging or border plant. 
Very beautiful in window boxes or flower pots. Note the illustration above. Seed 
slow to germinate and should be started in flats. Pkt., 20c; 2 pkts., 30c; 1% oz., 
$2.00; 14, oz., $4.00. 

1076. ENGELMANN’S GIANTS. H. H. P. 
Of all the strains of Pansies on _ the 
market today, we believe that Mr. Carl 
Engelmann of England has produced the 
very finest strain of all. Mr. Engel- 
mann has won outstanding awards and 
medals at the great spring show at 
Chelsea each year on his strains of 
Pansies. This strain is a very vigorous 
growing, compact and early flowering type, 
and contains a great variety of shades 
both dark and light, all of the blotched 
type with very huge, well formed blos- 
soms. The blend of colors is too diffi- 
cult to describe in words and we refer 
you to the illustration. We highly recom- 
mend this strain of Pansies. Start seed 
indoors in flats early in February for 
early spring blooms. Pkt., 25c; 2 pkts., 
45c; 1/16 oz., 80c; %& oz., $1.40; 1% 
oz., $2.60; 14/2 oz., $4.75; oz., $9.00.

“T was so pleased with the things I 
bought from you last year. I’m just 
an amateur with a small suburban gard- 
en, but I believe I had 100% germina- 
tion on your seeds and I won a second 
prize at a Garden Club Show with your 
Zinnia Linearius, and had a favorable 
comment on the Fantasy Zinna at the 
Pansy, Engelmann’s Giant Md. Federation Show. Unfortunately 
there wasn’t a class for Fantasies.”
