Marigold, Mission Giant-Goldsmith

GOLDSMITH. H. A. Mission 
Giant is a new strain of Mari- 
gold of medium height with giant Chrysanthemum 
blooms. They are base branching, producing from 
eight to twelve stems of excellent cutting length. The 
laterals or side branches produce just as large, if not 
larger blooms, than the center stems. It is very early, 
coming into bloom fully two weeks ahead of the ordinary 
Sunshine types. The ball-shaped blooms measure from 
four to five inches in diameter and resemble giant in- 
eurved Chrysanthemums. The great number of small 
florets that go to make up the huge blooms are tubrlar 
except near the top where the tubes seem to separate 
into five miniature ribbon-like parts that curl and twist 
to form a perfect ball-shaped incurved flower. Goldsmith 
is a rich golden orange which makes a brilliant display

Scabiosa, Caucasica Hybrids 
(PERENNIAL) 
1156. CAUCASICA HYBRIDS. H. P. The perennial 
Scabiosas bloom from June to October and require 
little space and thrive in ordinary soil. They are 
of great value to the gardener as the graceful flowers 
in delicate shades of blue and lavender borne on long 
and erect stems make them very valuable as cut 
flowers throughout the season. No perennial garden 
is complete without them. This strain of giant 
hybrids is very beautiful and a great improvement 
over the older types, being more vigorous and 
larger with longer stems and larger petals. Plants 
grow to 18 inches in height and the lavender shades 
of flowers are frilled on the edges. Pkt., 10c; 2

1085. RADIANCE. H. A. The Petunia is probably the 
most popular and universal satisfactory flower grown by 
gardeners and professionals today, and more work has 
probably been done by plant breeders to improve 
Petunias than on any other flower. Radiance received 
a 1940 silver medal in the All-America awards. It is 
a rich, brilliant cerise-rose with enough underlying 
salmon to remove the harshness commonly found in a 
cerise-rose variety. The throat is a golden yellow 
below where the bloom starts to flare which adds much 
life to the Petunia. The plant is of the hybrida type, 
very uniform, and neat in habits. It is decidedly free 
flowering throughout the season. The blooms measure 
21/, to 8 inches in diameter. Pkt., 25c; 2 pkts., 45c,
