Marigold, Mammoth ‘Mum 
All-America Winners for 1944. 
Marigold, Mammoth ‘Mum 
Honorable Mention, 1944. 
Great fluffy rich lemon-yellow blooms like the big incurved chrysanthemums give 
gardeners a chance to have ““Mums” for the garden and for cut flowers months before 
frost comes. Bushy, strong, erect plants reach 3 feet by August, when long-stemmed 
flowers appear to amaze one with huge flowers, 4 to 5 inches across and 2 inches deep. 
Many will be worn to the fall’s football games in place of the Japanese chrysanthe- 
mums. Frequently a single stalk may be cut for a substantial bouquet. Flowering 
from August until freezing weather, they make a colorful display in the garden with 
their rich dark green foliage, and long lasting light yellow flowers. Pkt., 25c. 
Petunia, Cheerful 
Bronze Medal, 1944. 
This prize-winner is clear, light pink, with crisp, satiny sheen on salmon-pink petals, 
with deeper rose veining toward the throat. The color shows up beautifully under 
artificial light. The color and growing habit is entirely new, plants first grow low, 
spreading close to the ground, then forming a mound 10 to 12 inches high with a 
spread of 2 feet; densely compact with no tendency to thin out, fall over or open up 
at the center. The flowers are 214 inches across and blooming starts almost as soon 
as plants are ready to set out in open ground and continues until frozen down in late 
fall or winter. Since petunias grow well most everywhere and bloom profusely for 
garden display or cut flower arrangements, we may be happy to add this lovely new- 
comer to our older petunia favorites. Pkt., 25c. : 
Petunia, Cheerful 
lily. At Boston it will need some protection in 
late fall of straw or leaves.
