Marigold, Dwarf Chrysanthemum-fowered, | 
Golden Bedder 
Bronze Medal, All-America Selections 
A very early variety—perhaps the earliest of all—and of uniform 
habit. Plants form symmetrical mounds, covered with golden orange 
flowers. The color seems distinct. A row of outer guard petals is sur- 
mounted by a fully double crest of Dixie Sunshine type petals or minia- 
ture flowers. Trade pkt. 30c; 140z. 50c.

Bright rich clear yellow counterpart to Goldsmith, the popular va- 
riety introduced last season, with large 214-inch flowers on luxuriantly 
foliaged, strong-growing plants 3 to 5 feet high. Very attractive, in- 
curved, chrysanthemum-like form. Excellent for cutting.

size, pure white, with a slight yellow throat, and coming 100 per cent 
true. The plants are uniformly compact throughout the season, and 
continue to flower until frost. The plant is a perfect mound of white, 
8 to 10 inches im height, reminding one of an Eskimo igloo. This va- 
riety is ideal for borders, also splendid for pots.

Petunia, English Violet 
Honorable Mention, All-America Selections 
A new and most pleasing shade of violet-blue Petunia, different 
from any other of the mid-blue varieties. It is almost the same beauti- 
ful color as English violets. Very important, it will hold this uniform 
color throughout the season. The pJants grow normally 15 tmches 
high, quite compact, and we believe the best mid-blue dwarf bedding 
Petunia yet mtroduced.

Phlox gigantea, Red Glory 
Honorable Mention, All-America Selections 
Here is the brightest color that we have ever seen in a Phlox. It isa 
brilliant red with a contrasting white eye which seems to intensify the 
red into an unbelievable sharpness. Red Glory is identical in type, 
habit of growth, and size of bloom to the Gigantea Art Shades. It is 
free flowering and a continuous bloomer.

Primulas 
NEW GIANT OBCONICAS 
NEW WYASTON WONDER. This new type of Primula obconica, 
Wyaston Wonder, produces flowers of truly immense size. It Is 
by far the largest-flowered variety in existence. The general growth 
of the plant is exceptionally vigorous and the huge heads of bright 
crimson flowers are carried on strong stems well above the foliage. 
We believe this to be the finest of the new Primulas.
