Portulaca, Single Jewel 
1943 INTRODUCTIONS 
ASTER, Extra Early Giant Crego, Navy Blue 
All-America Honorable Mention, 1943. Extremely valuable inasmuch as it is the only 
real early Aster of the true ostrich plume type. The color is a deep, intense blue and 
large 4-inch flowers can be had on stems 10 to 12 inches long. Very good branching 
habit and a splendid addition to the cut-flower garden. 50Oc per pkt.; 5 pkts., $2.00. 
24-inch pot plants can be supplied in May at 6 for $1.50; $2.75 per doz. 
COSMOS, Giant Sensation Dazzler (See color illustration page 21) 
All-America Honorable Mention, 1943. A very rich, deep crimson. Flowers 3 to 4 
inches across on stately stems. This is a distinct improvement over all other red Cosmos 
and its long blooming period from early July until frost makes it extremely valuable. 
50c per pkt.; 5 pkts., $2.00. 
CYNOGLOSSUM Amabile, Pink 
A lovely new addition to the Chinese Forget-me-not family. Last year we presented 
a white which has met with great approval. The pink should prove equally satisfactory 
and will provide a supplementary flower to be used in combination with larger flowers 
for exquisite cut-flower arrangements. 50Oc per pkt.; 5 pkts., $2.00. 
MARIGOLD, Honeycomb (See color illustration page 22) 
We predict that this Marigold by its unusual formation of petals will be one of the 
most popular for many years to come. The flower looks just as it is named, a perfect 
miniature mound-shaped honeycomb. The color is a rich, glowing orange and the foliage 
is odorless. Marigold Honeycomb can be used with equal effect in the cutting garden 
or as a bedding flower inasmuch as the height rarely exceeds 15 inches. Our own rating 
gives this Marigold a high score. 50c per pkt.; 5 pkts., $2.00. . 
21-inch pot plants can be supplied in May at 6 for $1.50; $2.75 per doz. 
MARIGOLD, Sunkist (See color illustration page 22) 
All-America Silver Medal, 1943. An early flowering dwarf Marigold that is far superior 
to anything offered in this class. The flowers are fully 2 inches in diameter with lovely 
crested centers of dainty tubular petals and the color is a rich, deep, golden orange. 
While a very dwarf plant generally recommended for bedding, the flowers will be ideal 
for cutting and can be used in all sorts of table arrangements of cut flowers. Really a 
splendid addition to the extensive Marigold family. 50c per pkt.; VYg oz., $1.00. 
24-inch pot plants can be supplied in May at 6 for $1.50; $2.75 per doz. 
PETUN 1A, All-Double, America (See color illustration page 31) 
All-America Silver Medal, 1943. A fine double Petunia that has a double distinction. 
Not only is it the first of double Petunias developed in the United States, but it is a 
Petunia of great excellence. While the flowers are not as large as the World Beauty 
types, nevertheless the habit of the plant is ideal. The flowers are medium sized and 
the color is that shade of pink that is very attractive for bedding and cutting. We predict 
that this Petunia will be almost standard for window box and bedding work. Our trials 
show that it blooms freely from early summer to frost. Our own generous size packets, 
75c each; 3 for $2.00. 
3-inch pot plants can be supplied in May at 6 for $1.75; $3.25 per doz. 
PETUNIA, 
English Violet 
(See color illustration page 31) 
All-America Honorable Mention,

violet color and its 100 per cent 
purity. Plants grow to a height of 
15 to 18 inches and make a splen- 
did bedding Petunia. Very free
