ZINNIA, Blaze 
1954 All-America Winner. Newest of the Burpee 
Hybrid class, this is a fiery scarlet-orange with 
curly, quilled, fluffy petals. The massive plants, 
2% to 3 feet high, freely produce flowers up to 5 
inches across. A striking garden accent. Pkt. 35c. 
CELOSIA, Pampas Plume 
Here’s a new plumed Cockscomb growing 21% feet 
high with big fleecy, feathery flower plumes in a 
mixture of brilliant colors. Quick-growing, heat- 
loving and pest-free, just the thing for a massed 
display and cut-flowers right up to frost. Pkt. 20c, 
PETUNIA, Popcorn 
Really an improved Snowstorm, 
this variety has ruffled, pure white 
flowers up to 4 inches across but most 
important of all, these appear freely 
on compact dwarf plants one foot 
high. This dwarf plant habit makes 
Popcorn invaluable for edging or 
low borders. Pkt. 40c. 
MARIGOLD, Lemondrop 
A vast improvement over 
Yellow Pygmy, this new extra- 
dwarf, double French variety 
has very uniform, 8-inch plants 
smothered with one-inch lemon- 
yellow, double flowers. It 
blooms early and keeps on to 
TrOSt amb KtaaDCe 
PETUNIA, Comanche 
The 1953 All-America Win- 
ner, this is the reddest of all 
Petunias. The vivid scarlet- 
red flowers, larger and better 
than Fire Chief, hold their 
color even on aging. They are 
borne profusely on erect 13- 
ALYSSUM, Royal Carpet 
The neat compact plants, 3 inches 
high and 10 inches across, literally 
carpet the ground and are practically 
covered with vibrant purple bloom 
all season. Pkt. 25c. 
MARIGOLD, Man-in-the-Moon 
For many years plant hybridizers have been trying 
to develop a white Marigold. This is the nearest to 
it so far. The 3-inch double carnation type flowers 
are of the softest, palest white-yellow color with 
ruffled petals often tipped with cream. This color 
blends beautifully with all other colors in the garden. 
The 3-foot plants bear heavily up to frost. Pkt. 25c. 
inch plants. Pkt. 50c. 
ASTER, Wilt-resistant Early Giant Mixed 
The strong-stemmed, 11% foot plants, from August to frost, bear 
large fluffy flowers with flat, curled and twisted petals. The informal 
beauty of the flower, the long stems and the superb colors make 
these a must for cutting. They come to bloom much earlier than 
other strains and are delightfully graceful. Pkt. 20c. 
MARIGOLD, Cupid now in 3 colors 
The great advantage of Cupid is the dwarfness of 
the dark foliaged plants. Unexcelled for a long- 
blooming, very dwarf edging plant we now offer it in 
Golden, golden yellow; Orange, vivid; and Yellow, 
primrose-yellow. The flowers, up to 2% inches across, 
larger than any Dwarf Double, are freely produced 
on 6-inch odorless plants. Pkt., any of the 3, 20c. 
NEW LARKSPUR, Supreme Mixed 
A new strain with strong, upright spikes growing out of the base of 
the plant. These give a compact, erect appearance in the garden. 
The upper half is covered with larger, fully double, more closely spaced 
flowers of unusual beauty. Pkt. 15c. 
ZINNIA, Peppermint Stick Mixed 
Here’s a most interesting Zinnia. Most of the medium-sized, double 
flowers have candy striped petals in red and white, red and yellow, 
yellow and white, and in orange and yellow on 2-foot bushy plants from 
summer right up to frost. Unusual for flower arrangements. Pkt. 20c. 
| FLOWER GARDEN MIXTURE. A mixture of annuals for both borders and cut-flowers. I4oz. 20c; oz. 60c. | 
PETUNIA, Silver Medal 
Another recent All-America 
Winner with compact bushy 
plants, 12 inches high and 18 
inches across, which carry 
many 3-inch single flowers 
opening salmon-cerise with a 
slight orange sheen and ageing 
pure salmon. Perhaps the most 
delightful color of all Petuntias. 
Pkt. 50c.
