Vaughan Novelties and Specialties far 1943 





PETUNIA. All-Double America 
ALL-AMERICA WINNERS 
PETUNIA All-Double America. Silver Medal All-America 1943. 
America is the all-double type, of medium size, carnation-flowered, 
and rose-pink in color, somewhat a reminder of the color of 
Gladiolus America, which for many years was our most popular 
Glad. America Petunia is a hybrida nana, an abundant bloomer 
from early summer to frosts, for bedding and cutting. It is uniform 
and true. 200 seeds, 75; 500 seeds, $1.75; 1000 seeds, $3.00; 
1%, oz., $11.00. 
MARIGOLD, Sunkist. Silver Medal All-America 1943. It is a 
dwarf, compact, very early, continuous blooming, double French 
Harmony type. It comes practically true, 6 to 12 inches tall, and 
the many attractive flowers are to 1% in. across. For bedding, 
edging and pot-culture. Companion variety for the already 
popular Butterball. Trade pkt., 35c; 14 0z., 70c; oz., $2.40. 
PETUNIA Igloo. Bronze Medal All-America 1943. A new 
extra compact white Petunia. The chief advantages of this 
new Petunia are its free blooming habit and its compact and uni- 
form growth. The flowers are medium size, pure white with a 
slight yellowing in the throat, and are 100% true. Every flower 
is just exactly alike. The fact that the plant remains so uniformly 
compact throughout the entire season (if the soil is not too rich) 
makes it ideal for borders. Every plant is a perfect mound of 
white 8 to 10 inches high, reminding one of an Eskimo igloo. 
Trade pkt., 50c; % oz., $1.00. 
ASTER, Extra Early Giant Crego, Navy Blue. Honorable 
Mention All-America 1943. First of a new race of large flowered, 
early Asters. In fact, it seems as early as Queen of the Market 
class, so should be quite satisfactory also in the South. While not 
wilt-resistant, it has fair growth, true and uniform 4 inch flowers 
on 12 to 20 inch branching plants and averaging 10 inch, strong 
cutting stems. Narrow, purplish green foliage and stems. \% oz.,

America 1943. Very rich, deep amaranth crimson, 3 to 4 inch 
flowers on plants from 30 inches as they start blooming to an 
ultimate 5 to 6 feet. The flower size, color shades and a few plants

later blooming plants. Trade pkt., 25c; 14 0z., 55c; oz., $1.80.
