Three Fine Varieties for Pot Plants as Well as for Bedding Purposes 
“SPRY” 
Dwarf, compact plants about 
9 inches high and spreads 15 
inches. Flowers 1¥2 inches 
across, having a bright yellow 
center with several rows of 
mahogany-red guard petals. 
Early flowering, it is valuable 
for Spring combination work. 
A March 1 sowing is ideal in 
any locality for flat sales. 
Quite resistant to heat of mid- 
“BUTTERBALL” 
Most attractive, very compact, 
scabious-flowered, canary yel- 
low. Only 6 to 10 inches tall, 
uniform, very early and con- 
tinuous flowering. Bright and 
luminous bedding or edging 
variety which you can't help 
but like. Rich, dense foliage, 
well covered with small 1%4- 
inch blooms. This make a nice 
pot plant and should also be a 
“MELODY” 
Growing 12 to 15 inches high, 
and literally covered with 
golden yellow, Harmony type 
flowers, this is recommended 
to displace Dwarf Scabious- 
flowered Golden Harmony. 
Very uniform in height, habit 
and color; rather early, and 
a long, steady bloomer, except 
in the most northern locations. 
Equally valuable for commer- 
western summers,
