any home when used in flower arrangements. The 
plants are from 21% to 3 feet in height, are neat 
in habit, strong growing and very free blooming, 
coming into flower 45 to 50 days after seed is sown. 
We recommend sowing this type of Zinnia in the 
ground where they are to grow, if possible, as they 
seem to succeed much more satisfactorily. The rich 
dazzling scarlet of this variety will attract attention 
wherever grown. Pkt., 10c; 2 pkts., 15c; 14% o2z.,

1085. RADIANCE, H. A. The Petunia is 
probably the most popular and universal satis- 
factory flower grown by gardeners and profes- 
sionals today, and more work has probably been done by plant 
t, breeders to improve Petunias than on any other flower. Radiance 
received a 1940 silver medal in the All-America awards. It is a 
sie rich, brilliant cerise-rose with enough underlying salmon to remove 
" the harshness commonly found in a cerise-rose variety. The throat 
is a golden yellow below where the bloom starts to flare which 
adds much life to the Petunia. The plant is of the hybrida type, 
very uniform, and neat in habits. It is decidedly free flowering 
throughout the season. The blooms|i measure 21/2 to 8 inches in 
diameter. Pkt., 10c; 2 pkts., 15c; 14 oz., 90c; 1/2 oz., $1.60; 
oz., $3.00. 


1089. HOLLYWOOD STAR. H. A. This 
variety won the Silver Medal in the 1939 
. All-America contest. The Petunia is unique 
in the form of its flowers which consists of a five-pointed star. 
The color is a charming shade of rich rose with an amber throat. 
A fine garden variety as it is early and free blooming. The plant 
is strong and so smothered with blooms that hardly any foliage 
i shows. Pkt., 10c; 2 pkts., 15c; 144 oz., 45c; 4% oz., 75c;
