CARNATION 
Here is an improved hardy carnation with 
larger fringed flowers and a greater percentage 
of doubles than in older varieties but in which 
the rich spicy fragrance has not been sacrificed.

plants next June.

ception, especially because it is

Harris’ Swiss Giant Pansies 
THE BEST GIANT PANSIES 
3705—Swiss Giants Magnificent Mixture. We know these are 
the best Swiss Giant Pansies available because we compare 
them, in our Test Gardens, with others being offered. Our 
seeds are fresh and of good germination. Plants are vigorous 
producing quantities of immense blooms with waved mar- 
gins. Colors are distinct and varied in both light and dark 
shades. (Ask for our directions for growing pansies.) 
Grenadin—A New Hardy Carnation 
A NEW VERBENA 
8000—Compact Giant Flowered Mixed Colors. 
You'll like this verbena because it blooms two 
weeks earlier than other large flowered strains 
and is much more compact in its manner of 
growth. The mixture contains white, salmon, 
scarlet, lavender, mid-blue and violet. Ver- 
benas thrive in a hot sunny location.

Compact Giant Flowered Verbenas 
TWO NEW PETUNIAS 
3807—Ballerina. This All-America Award Win- 
ner in 1952 performed well this past hot dry 
summer. The plants are compact, not straggly 
even in late summer, and begin bearing large, 
fringed, salmon colored blooms early in the 
season. Ballerina is a first generation (F) hy- 
brid so you can depend on its coming 100% 
true to type and be sure that there will be no 
magenta in the color even when the flowers 
begin to fade. If you didn’t plant Ballerina 
last year, be sure to this year. 
Pkt. (100 seeds) 50c; 500 seeds $1.50; 
1000 seeds $2.50. 
Fi Hybrid Ballerina Petunia 
3820—Comanche. (Not illustrated.) Remember 
the excitement a few years ago when a red 
petunia made its appearance? True the flowers 
weren’t very large and the plants were straggly 
but it was red! Now we have an F, hybrid that 
is really red with 2% inch slightly ruffled 
blooms a fiery war-paint red. Delicate veining 
and a velvety sheen accentuate this color. The 
husky plants grow 14 inches high with a spread 
of 18 inches. Give Comanche a background of 
green or white to be most effective. 
Pkt. (200 seeds) 50c; 500 seeds $1.10; 
1000 seeds $2.00.

TWO NEW ANNUAL PHLOX 
3855—Dwarf Beauty Mixed Colors. A new and 
improved dwarf phlox with very large florets 
and flower heads of a wide range of clear and 
brilliant hues including the rarely seen light 
lavender-blue and a deeper blue. Comes into 
bloom very early and transplants more readily 
than standard strains. 
Pkt. 25c; Lg. Pkt. 50c; 1 Oz. 90c. 
3865—Dwarf Globe Mixed Colors. (Not illus- 
trated.) This All America Winner in 1952 is a 
new and different phlox. The plants branch 
freely from the base resulting in a compact 
mound or globe 4 to 5 inches high and 8 to 10 
inches across. Its early flowering, very neat 
manner of growth and ease of transplanting 
will make Globe Phlox a popular edging and 
bedding plant. 
Pkt. 25c; Lg. Pkt. 50c; 1% Oz. $2.25.
