Three Easy Petunias for Every 
Garden 
PETUNIA Garden Giants. At last a hardy, 
low-growing, truly giant-flowered mix- 
ture of the Giant Ruffled Petunias. 
Commencing to flower when quite 
small, the plants soon develop into 
compact 12-inch mounds of color. The 
flowers, in a wide variety of bright color 
combinations, retain their size and ruf- 
fling all summer despite the most ad- 
verse conditions of heat and dryness. 
Pkt. 50c. 
PETUNIA Glowing Rose. The most star- 
tling of all the dwarf bedding varieties, 
because of its intense, unfading bril- 
liant rose color. Flowers are larger 
than Celestial Rose, but plant habit is 
identical; planted at the same time with 
the other nana compacta varieties, 
Glowing Rose started to flower a month 
earlier yet remained in bloom as long 
as the later kinds! Pkt. 25c. 
PETUNIA Pink Sensation. All-America 
Bronze Medal for 1948. A new habit 
in petunias, with large, rose-pink flow- 
ers in profusion for months, on tall 
(2-foot), yet bushy, erect plants.

ASTER, BALLET QUEEN 
A New Race of Calendulas 
CALENDULA Pacific Beauty. This fine 
new strain is a distinct advance in size 
of bloom and length and grace of petal; 
the stems are longer and straighter, and 
the taller plants are more resistant to 
summer heat. For 1948 introduction 
we offer four lovely colors: 
Apricot Beauty. Two tones of soft apri- 
cot-orange blend in the long, wide pet- 
als; the centers are well covered with 
wide, incurving petals. Pkt. 25c. 
Cream Beauty. Distinctive new shade— 
creamy white shading to pale yellow. 
Pkt. 25c. 
Lemon Beauty. Identical in formation, 
but a pure lemon-yellow. Pkt. 25c. 
Persimmon Beauty. Dark persimmon- 
orange flowers, otherwise similar. Pkt.

riety for 75c.

flowered, early Sensation-type offers 
two shades new to Cosmos. . . both in

laid toward the center with a well- 
defined zone of rich crimson. Showy 
in the garden all summer, and won- 
derful for cutting. Pkt. 25c. 
Six Months of Bloom for a 
Quarter! 
TETRA DIANTHUS Heddensis Mixed. 
The large, open flowers and wealth of 
colors and combinations of the old

the rugged growth and long-stemmed 
habit of Dianthus Chinensis. More tol- 
erant of extreme heat than either of 
its parents. Pkt. 25c. 
LARKSPUR Deep Carmine King Improved. 
With its strong, tall (4- to 5-foot), 
basal-branched spikes of deep carmine- 
red, this new Larkspur is an outstand-

others. Pkt. 15e.
