1947 EXCLUSIVE MAX SCHLING INTRODUCTIONS 
PETUNIA, Fringed Snowstorm 
A beautiful sport of our ever-popular Improved Snowstorm. This remarkable new 
Petunia retains all of the characteristics of its parent. Pure glistening white, large 2 - 
to 3-inch blooms produced in great abundance. The flowers are uniformly fringed 
around the edges, making an outstanding change for those who prefer Petunias of this 
nature. Truly a gorgeous Petunia novelty, exquisite for cut flowers. Pkt., $1.00; 6 - 
pkts., $5.50. + 
PETUNIA, Salmonarch 
The best salmon Petunia to date, large, open, slightly ruffled blooms covering the 
dwarf, compact plants. The color is a deep, rich, non-fading salmon-red, flowers 2 
to 3 inches across. We consider Salmonarch not only outstanding for its fine new color, 
but its fine flowering and growth habit stamps it as one of the finest Petunias ever intro- 
duced. Illustrated in color on page 12. Packet of 100 seeds, only $1.00. Supply limited. 
PETUNIA, 100% All-Double Finest Mixed 
Illustrated in color on page 12. (White, Purple, Lavender, Salmon-Pink, Flesh-Pink, Rose- 
Pink and Red.) This is a mixture of seven definite colors reminiscent of the splendid Double 
Petunias that we offered as late as 1943. These have been grown and produced in the 
United States by an outstanding Petunia hybridizer and is a mixture of all of the most popu- 
lar colors. Dwarf habit, excellent for pot culture and bedding. Packet of 125 seeds, $1.25. 
STRAWBERRY, RED DELIGHT 
A lovely ornamental and utilitarian plant of low, compact habit with attractive foliage 
covered with blooms six to eight weeks after seed is sown. The plants thereafter are con- 
tinually topped with blooms and lovely red berries of medium size with the delicious flavor 
and fragrance of wild Strawberries. 
It thrives equally well in sunny or 
semi-shaded locations and is per- 
fectly, hardy. Flowers and berries 
appear until frost. Price: $1.00 
per pkt.

OTHER MERITORIOUS NOVELTIES 
PETUNIA, Colossal Shades of Rose 
All-America Silver Medal Winner, 1946. One of the showiest and most attractive 
Petunias ever introduced. Colossal Shades of Rose is all that the name implies, a large 
flowering All-Double Petunia in various shades of pink. It is also an all-purpose 
Petunia in that it makes a splendid cut flower, is an all-summer blooming plant for 
porch purposes, and is unsurpassed for bedding. $1.00 per pkt.; 6 pkts., $5.50. 
CELOSIA, Gilbert’s Green Gold 
_ A pure silver-green slightly flushed with rose across the tip of the ruffles with the 
faintest trace of yellow. A beautiful pastel combination that will find great favor for 
late autumn and winter bouquets. Combs ball-shaped and of solid texture. Orig- 
inator’s packets only. 25¢ each. 
STRAWBERRY POPCORN 
Decorative and edible. One of the most interesting novelties we have ever offered. 
The small ears, 2 inches long by 1 Y2 inches wide, look for all the world like gigantic 
Strawberries, making a beautiful and long lasting wintertime decoration. The color 
of the kernel is a fine mahogany with a straw-yellow husk. Because of its low water 
content the kernels are excellent for popping. It is recommended that the ears be 
used one year for decoration and popped the second year when they are thoroughly 
dried. Packet of 500 seeds, 50c. 

Strawberry, Red Delight 
1946 INTRODUCTIONS 
ANTIRRHINUM, IRISH MELODIES 
Illustrated in color on page 21. It is regrettable that the 
illustration cannot do these magnificent flowers justice. With- 
out question the strongest, most intensely colored strain of 
Snapdragon available. The bicolor nature of this strain ex- 
emplified by the contrasting shades on the lip and main body 
of the flower is the most interesting feature of Irish Melo- 
dies. The tall, strong stems and heavy spikes are unequalled. 
75c per pkt.; 3 pkts. for $2.00. 
GAILLARDIA, PINWHEEL 
The most important addition to the annual Gaillardia 
family in many years. The single flowers are a beautiful 
bicolor shading of rich crimson toward the center, bordered 
with French gray. Plants are extremely free-flowering; stems 
15 inches long. Blooms in ten weeks after seed is sown. 
Price: 50c per pkt.; 5 pkts., $2.00. 
STRAWBERRY, YELLOW DELIGHT 
Counterpart of Red Delight. Sweet, pale yellow fruits. E :
