COSMOS “FIESTA” 
The festival colors of Old Mexico, combined in one flower by the plant breeder's magic, bring 
this sparkling newcomer All America's TOP AWARD for 1952. A new color for the garden landscape 
— true scarlet. Early, heat-loving, easy to grow, Fiesta makes a compact 22 ft. plant with a riot 
of bloom all summer long. Flowers are semi-double, ruffled, borne like tropical birds amidst lacy 
foliage. It’s a cutflower for the house, a handsome border subject for the garden—neat, trouble-free.

complete range of blue shades. Plants are approximately 30 inches in height.

MARIGOLD Dwarf French Double “COLOR MAGIC” 
It's the brightest and most interesting natural color mixture in Marigolds. Some of the plants 
are pure, brilliant red—the most non-fading red in Marigolds. Others are pure yellow, and others 
in bicolor combinations of bright red and true scarlet with yellow. It’s very early to flower and 
blooms continuously throughout the summer. Flowers are up to 2 inches or more in diameter (larger 
than any other French variety), and are of a distinct and fully double form. The ideal variety for 
edging or bedding purposes.

ZINNIA “PERSIAN CARPET” (22000 seeds per oz.) 
Like tiny Dahlias, each with its pointed petals tipped with contrast, these perfect miniature 
Zinnias make the ideal garden edging subject. Dwarf plants begin blooming early; grow into tidy, 
well-behaved 12 inch mounds of brilliant color, each plant different. The variegated flowers, each 
the size of a silver dollar, are fully double (they do have cutting stems, and dainty foliage quite 
unlike most Zinnias). The perfect size for window boxes; apartment gardens and borders etc.
