Hollyhock 
INDIAN SPRING (Blooms first year). 
This new Hollyhock was awarded a Silver 
Medal in the 1939 All-America selections. 
It is an annual, 344 to 4 feet tall. The 
flowers are semi-double, crinkly edged, in 
shades of deep pink to crimson rose, with 
rose pink predominating. Packet, 25c. 

Scabiosa Imperial Giants 
SCABIOSA IMPERIAL GIANTS. A great 
advance in annual Scabiosa development, an 
outstanding achievement. Extremely large, well 
formed flowers which are fully double, com- 
posed entirely of broad frilly petals, rounded 
bee hive shape. Plants very upright, growing 
42 to 48 inches tall, long heavy wiry stems, 
excellent for florist or garden use. 
BLUE MOON. Very large full double flow- 
ers, deep lavender blue, strong wiry stems, 
excellent cut. flower. Pkt., 25c. 
ROSETTE. Rosette is a beautiful shade of 
deep rose heavily suffused with salmon. Pkt., 
25¢c. 
Stokesia Cyanea 
STOKESIA CYANEA (Cornflower Aster). 
This is not new but is a rare and beautiful 
hardy perennial. The plant grows about 2 
feet high bearing from twenty to thirty hand- 
some lavender-blue cornflower-like blossoms, 
which often measure 8 to 4 inches in diameter. 
One of the choicest subjects for the perennial 
border and indispensable for cutting. Pkt., 15c. 
Tithonia Speciosa Grandi- 
flora Fireball 
Dazzling as a ball of fire, poised high above 
other flowers, Fireball is, undoubtably, the 
last word in brilliance of color in a fall 
blooming plant. Many have known and en- 
joyed Tithonia Speciosa (Aztec Daisy) and 
have considered it the brightest flower for 
fall use. With the introduction, however, of 
Fireball, this older variety is entirely over- 
shadowed. Fireball is a very brilliant, vibrant 
shade of scarlet orange, the petals in dazzling 
contrast to the clear yellow center. The gaily 
colored flowers are single, very large, four 
to five inches in diameter and are carried 
on fine long stems. The plants are rather tall, 
however, they do not become ragged looking 
as in the older type. It is extremely showy 
in the garden and an excellent cut flower 
variety, the flowers keeping from five to six 
days when cut. Pkt., 25c. 



Datura 
DATURA (Trumpet Flower). A handsome 
ornamental annual easily grown, having large 
showy white flowers. Excellent to be planted 
in the background as the bush grows about 
3 feet tall, flowering continuously through- 
out the summer. Pkt., 15c. 
Everlasting Sweet Pea 
EVERLASTING SWEET PEA (Lathryus). 
This is the perennial Sweet Pea. An excellent 
vining plant with branches 8 to 10 feet long, 
blooms freely in the late spring and early 
summer, is perfectly hardy. Pkt., 20c. 

Hollyhock—Indian Spring 
Double Rose Morning Glory 
DOUBLE ROSE MORNING GLORY. An 
early free flowering, clear deep rose, double 
flowered morning glory which makes a quick 
growth, well covered with flowers. As the 
flowers are double they give the appearance 
of being open even after the others in the 
garden have closed for the day. An excellent 
combination with the Blue Mexican Morning 
Glory. Pkt., 15c. 
Tagetes 
TAGETES (Marigold). We are proud to offer 
the little Giant Tagetes as the highest develop- 
ment yet attained in this pretty little Marigold, 
with slender fern-like foliage and an abundance 
of dainty, single golden dwarf, having a spread 
of 8 to 10 inches, orange flowers on plants 
ale are very excellent for cut flowers. Pkt., 
c. 
Virginian Stock 
VIRGINIAN STOCK (French Forget-me- 
not). French Forget-me-nots are fast grow- 
ing, early flowering little plants for spring 
use in the annual rock garden or as an 
edging plant. They are in flower with such 
early blossoming varieties as alyssum, pansies, 
violas and linarias. As they come before the 
nemesias, they could very well be used in 
the space to be filled by them. They are charm- 
oe when grown in mixture. Mixed only. Pkt., 
0c. 
Venidium 
VENIDIUM. A new Daisy from Africa, 
growing 2 to 3 feet high, having a gray- 
ish silky foliage with numerous orange flow- 
ers, which are marked with a purple black 
zone averaging 4 to 5 inches across. Treat 
as a half hardy annual, and plant in a sunny 
location. Pkt., 15c. 



Scabiosa—Blue Moon 
Verbena Hybrida Grandi- 
flora Crimson Glow 
Verbena Crimson Glow is the finest and 
deepest red shade available in this popular 
garden flower. Rich, glowing crimson, the 
flowers are a solid mass of color, making 
a striking bed or border in the garden. Un- 
like other red verbena varieties, there is no 
contrasting lighter eye to detract from the 
color tone. Individual florets are of good size, 
about an inch in diameter, carried in full 
clusters which are freely produced through- 
out the summer weeks. For a brilliant, in- 
tense crimson accent in the garden, use 
CRIMSON GLOW. Pkt., 15c. 
Verbena 
VERBENA BEAUTY OF OXFORD HY- 
BRID. For many years the non-seeding va- 
riety of Beauty of Oxford has been a favorite 
verbena. This new strain is the nearest ap- 
proach in a seeding variety to the bright 
deep rose pink shade of Beauty of Oxford. 
The individual floweretts measure over 1 inch 
in diameter, they are half as large again 
as Beauty of Oxford and will easily cover a 
silver dollar. The foliage is a dark green. 
This beautiful verbena will be welcomed as 
peneenes addition ‘to the verbena family. Pkt., 
Co 
LAVENDER GLORY VERBENA. Mammoth 
verbena, Lavender Glory. Here we have a new 
color, being true lavender, with a creamy 
white eye. The individual flowers, strikingly 
beautiful, are much larger than those found in 
verbenas of the ordinary type. Distinctly fra- 
grant and a flower of great merit. Pkt., 25c.
