PARTICULARLY FAVORED IN AMERICAN GARDENS 
Alyssum, Violet Queen Per packet 35c 
The greatest development ever Produced in edging plants. A dwarf 
bushy compact Alyssum in bloom six weeks from sowing. The plants 
are a mass of bright violet blooms until cut down by hard frost. The 
color is further brightened by the light touch of the tiny white stamens. 
An annual which needs no care. 
Ageratum, Midget Blue Per packet 35c 
Silver Medal, 1940 All-America Selections. After many years of selec- 
tion, a really dwarf Ageratum has been found that will come uniformly 
dwarf and true to color from seed. Midget Blue is only 3 to 4 inches 
high, with delicate, fine foliage which is practically smothered with small, 
true Ageratum-blue flowers. 
Antirrhinum, Rust-Resistant, Copper Queen Per packet 35c 
A new super-giant variety which grows over 3 feet high. The color of 
the flower is a novel bronze, blending to old gold at the base; it is so 
brilliant that it will remind you of a new penny, fresh from the mint. 
Antirrhinum, Rust-Resistant, Rosalie Per packet 35c 
Bronze Medal, 1940 All-America Selections. This exciting color is en- 
tirely new in Antirrhinums—a rich deep rose with an underlying tone of 
topaz or amber, giving it a richness which makes it stand out conspicu- 
ously among all other colors. The tube and lip are the same shade, 
which greatly intensifies the depth and richness of color. The plants 
are base-branching and produce from six to eight huge long-flowering 
spikes on which the florets are decidedly well arranged. We cannot 
recommend it too highly for both bedding and cutting. 
Aster, Early Giant Wilt-Resistant, Rose Marie Per packet 35c 
A fine rose-colored Aster, bright and rich in tone. Recommended for 
the home garden where a bed will look well and will furnish the home 
with cut blooms. Flowers are 4 to 5 inches across, have long florets with 
solid feathery centers, and are on long stems. Height 114 to 2 feet. 
Calendula, Yellow Colossal Per packet 35c 
By far the largest Calendula ever bred. The flowers are Chrysathemum 
type with loose incurved petals giving a graceful effect to such a large 
bloom. Color is clear lemon-yellow with long stems holding the flowers 
erect. 
Cleeme, Pink Queen (Spider Plant) Per packet 35c 
Long stems bearing very large flower heads of deep clear pink. The 
pistil and stamens protrude well beyond the flower petals, hence the 
common name. The bushy plants grow in any soil and carry quantities 
of flowers. Grow them in the border and for cutting. 
Cosmos, Sensation Crested Per packet 35c 
Silver Medal, 1936 All-America Selections. A new double form of the 
early-flowering Sensation Cosmos. Two forms of double flowers are 
found, the regular double crested and the newer and novel fluted types, 
both averaging from 414 to 5 inches across. The fluted flowers are in 
a variety of shapes and forms, some with 15 to 20 extra petals growing 
out from the center. The colors are White, Pink, and Crimson in mix- 
ture. Height 3 to 4 feet.

ments in cut flower annuals. This cut-and-come-again annual Chinese

free flowering, neat and compact, growing about 15 inches tall. 
Marigold, Mission Giant, Goldsmith Per packet 35c 
All-America Bronze Medal. Plants of exceptional vigor grow 2 feet high, 
but they may all attain 3 or even 4 feet in strong land. They develop 
branches close to the ground, and thus produce veritable bushes; these 
are covered with large, long-stemmed flowers, which are round, fully 
double and saffron-gold, 4 to 5 inches across, with quilled and. in- 
ceed florets, reminding one of a Chrysanthemum. Starts to bloom

of primrose on bushy plants about 2 feet high with glossy green foliage. 
Early flowering. 
Marigold, Yellow Supreme Per packet 35c 
All-America Gold Medal Winner. By far the most outstanding yellow 
Marigold for bedding and cutting. The exquisite shade provides a flower 
of extreme delicacy that will enhance the color scheme of any garden 
or of any cut flower arrangement. Yellow Supreme is an early flowering, 
strong growing, prolific variety, free from the offensive Marigold odor, 
and merits a place in any garden. 
Marigold, Scarlet Glow Per packet 35c 
Honorable Mention, 1941 All-America selections. Brightest red of all 
Dwarf Double French Marigolds, opening brilliant scarlet; as they age, 
turning to rich tangerine. Fully double, 134 to 2 inches across, borne 
most profusely on dwarf plants 10 inches in height and with a spread 
of 18 inches. Begins to bloom in 10 weeks from seed and continues 
until frost. While perfect for small beds, borders and edging, the stems 
are long enough to be suitable for cutting. 
Marigold, Miniature, Spry Per packet 35c 
All-America Silver Medal. The little bushes are only 9 inches high. 
Placed around a bed of Petunias, Antirrhinums, or Geraniums they make 
an ideal edging. All summer, and right into autumn frost, they are 
covered with double flowers, each having a crested center of light 
yellow, surrounded by flat outer florets of maroon. More and brighter 
flowers is the improvement in this kind.
