marigold-brown. As the flowers age they turn to golden orange. 
Plants are compact, bushy and free blooming, making this variety 
excellent for cutting borders. When planted in a bed they make a 
brilliant showing. Pkt. 25c.; large pkt. 75c.; 1/40z. $1.25. 
Dwarf Chrysanthemum-flowered, Golden Bedder. Bronze

all. Plants form symmetrical mounds covered with golden orange

crest of Dixie Sunshine type. Pkt. 25c.; large pkt. 50c.

Pkt. 25c.; large pkt. 75c. 
PETUNIA, ENGLISH VIOLET 
Honorable Mention, All-America Selections. A new and most pleas- 
ing shade of violet-blue Petunia, different from any other of the mid- 
blue varieties. It is almost the same beautiful color as English violets 
and, very important, it will hold this uniform color throughout the 
season. The plants grow normally 15 inches high, quite compact, and 
we believe the best blue dwarf bedding Petunia yet introduced. Pkt. 
25c.; large pkt. 75c.

splendid mixture. Pkt. 50c.; large pkt. $1.25.

4 to 6 inches across and 214 to 3 inches deep, so closely resembling 
Decorative Dahlias that when placed by their side it is difftcult to 
distinguish one from the other. This new type is also valuable for 
growing under glass for cutting. 
Indian Summer. An attractive, unusual mixture of crimson, cherry, 
flame, burnished copper, yellow, and white. A blend of dazzling 
colors, excellent for cutting. Pkt. 15c.; large pkt. 40c.; oz. $2.00.
