1660—The sensational new red Petu- 
nia! Fire Chief has the rare distinc- 
tion of having been voted more points 
in the All-America trials than any

the glow of scarlet red; single blooms

quality and hold their bright color 
without fading. Low-growing, 
compact plants bear a great 
profusion of blooms all season; 
ideal for bedding, borders, 
boxes, potting. With its many 
outstanding qualities Fire Chief

Silver Medal 
1648—Named for the award it 
won in the All-America trials, 
Silver Medal takes its place 
among the truly ‘outstanding 
introductions.’ Multiflora type, 
it produces blooms in such abun- 
dance as to completely cover the 
sturdy, bushy plants over a long 
blooming season. Large 3-in. 
single flowers are a lustrous 
salmon-cerise with orange un- 
dertone when first open, chang- 
ing to a rich salmon shade as 
they mature; medium-green foli- 
age provides a pleasing con- 
trast. Give your garden a splash 
of brilliant color with a border 
of Silver Medal. Pkt......... 50c
