Flower Novelties for 1954 
PETUNIA LIPSTICK 
A rich new color. The plants are covered 
with medium-sized single flowers of a rich 
carmine rose with a suggestion of salmon. 
Especially valuable in locations where 
other varieties are inclined to fade because 
of intense sun. A neat, tidy, dwarf bed- 
ding petunia. Lipstick Petunia is deep 
enough to be colorfast, yet bright enough 
for brilliant effects in the home and garden. 
Compact plants are 12 to 14 inches high 
covered with 22-inch flowers all summer 
long. Pkt. 25c; 2 Pkts. 45c. 
HEARTS AND HONEY VINE—Changes Color 3 Times Daily 
Hearts and Honey Vine is a novelty 
flower ‘‘touched with magic,’’ one of 
the most colorful and unusual flow- 
ers ever offered. Hearts and Honey 
is one of the easiest to grow of all 
annual climbing vines. It produces 
beautiful foliage, deeply cut like 
the leaf of a fern. It starts flowering 
seven weeks after the seed is sown 
and is the most continuous flowering 
of all annuals, with masses of bright 
bloom until frost. Flowers are borne 
in such an abundance that they 
sometimes completely cover the 
plant. It changes color in the early 
morning the flowers are a brilliant 
orange with yellow center. Towards 
noon, a pinkish red with lighter 
center and in late afternoon, a clear 
bright shade of rose pink with white 
center. This novelty is one of the 
most interesting of all. Grows 15 
feet in length. Pkt. 25c, 2 Pkts. 45c. 
NEW TYPE ZINNIA 
PEPPERMINT STICK (Candy Striped) 
Zinnia Peppermint Stick Mixed is the most un- 
usual Zinnia you have ever seen! The 24-inch high 
plants bear a multitude of cutflowers 3 inches in 
diameter which cut and come again all season 
and each flower is gaily striped in a combina- 
tion of two or more colors. Every plant is different 
with combinations of red and white, red and yel- 
low, orange and yellow, carmine and white, and 
purple and white; some barely flecked with 
colors and others half and half. About 70% 
striped but even the solid colors are wonderful fo1 
home decorating. Pkt. (50 Seeds) 25c; 2 Pkts. 45c. 
ASTER POWDERPUFF 
Imagine a ribbon of pink, azure, rose, 
crimson, white, scarlet, and blue so 
solidly made of 3 to 314 inches of fully 
double flowers that the foliage liter- 
ally cannot be seen! That's what 
you'll get with the new Powderpuff 
Aster which yields more color per 
square foot of garden space than 
any Aster you’ve ever grown. Each 
plant is 24 inches high, yet takes less 
than 12 inches of space—all the flow- 
ers are on top—as many as 20 long- 
stemmed cutflowers per plant. Almost ZINNIA BLAZE
