Each year a number of varieties of flowers are introduced which de- 
serve mention and trial in the home garden. Some are novelties, others 
improved strains of old favorites. 
The supply of seed is naturally limited the first year, and may not be 
available to all, therefore we are not showing them in our regular 
listings. To keep you up-to-date on the most promising and loveliest 
of these new ’55 introductions, here are descriptions of some of the best. 
Marigold Indian Chief—The brilliant reddish-orange color of this 
variety is outstanding among African Marigolds. Flowers are the 
informal peony-flowered type 214 to 3 inches across, nicely ruffled 
petals and deepest orange of all Marigolds. 
F, Hybrid Multiflora Petunias Redskin—New small flowering varieties 
developed as companions to Petunia Comanche. All have the same 
general habit, vigor and flowering characteristics as Comanche. Apache 
is bright rose red; Mohawk, bright rose pink; Sioux, salmon and Pale- 
face, pure white. 
Candy Pink Morning Glory—Reported to be the first pink morning 
glory. The big 4 inch diameter flowers are of a lovely and cheerful 
shade of rose-pink salmon. 
Sweet Pea Early Flowering, Ginger—A gorgeous flushed rose chang- 
ing to rich salmon rose under artificial light. Colossal flowers 214 
inches across. Gingham is an attractive combination of rose changing 
to white on the edges of standard. 
| Marigold African Kon Tiki—This new pure yellow early flowering 
dwarf African marigold is of the new double type. 
Larkspur Steeplechase Blue—The largest flowered of all Larkspurs. 
In fact it looks more like a delphinium. The intense dark blue flowers 
are double and freely borne on erect plants. 
Marigold Dwarf Carnation Flowered Sunbrite—An extremely early, 
' medium height golden yellow in the carnation type which will bloom 
2 or 3 weeks ahead of the other varieties. 
Pansy Pacific Giant Hybrid, Color Carnival—F, generation seed, pos- 
sessing exceptionally large blooms on vigorous plants. The color range 
is remarkable, containing combinations of deep rich colors, predomi- 
nantly red and wine shades. The rich texture of the blooms is unsur- 
passed. 
Marigold Man-in-the-Moon—The lightest of all yellow marigolds with 
exceptionally attractive, solid, round carnation-like flower heads com- 
posed of broad, crisply ruffled, taffeta-like, pale moon-yellow petals 
4 with much lighter highlights. Plants are vigorous with strong stems.
