MAYTIME, an All-America Selec- 
tions winner for 1958, is an F, hybrid 
grandiflora in an enchanting shade of 
clear, light salmon pink with slightly 
deeper veining. The flowers are large, 
31%” to 4”, of good substance with just 
a slight fringer, freely produced on 
vigorous, compact, spreading plants 
with an average height of 12 inches 
; and spread of 24 to 28 inches. May-

same type but was not ready at the 
time the others were entered. The 
Petite strain is distinctly different from 
any other class of Marigold, being 
especially bred to remain dwarf under 
conditions where most Marigolds tend 
to grow rangy and wild, with late 
flowering tendencies. The Petite strain 
produces an abundance of very early 
blooms with a long blooming period. 
Plant habit is compact, 6 inches tall 
and 10 inches wide, with flowers borne 
in great profusion. Over 50 blooms 
per plant in full flower at one time, 
have frequently been counted. Makes 
an ideal edging plant, in either of the 
four strains, because flowers cover the 
plants until no foliage is visible. Color 
of three strains is indicated by name, 
while the Petite Harmony flower is 
a beautiful contrasting bicolor. Guard 
petals are a rich, deep mahogany with

not conspicuous, still are long enough to permit cut-

How to Cultivate 
Chrysanthemums From Seed 


If you have a hothouse or frame you 
may sow the seed anytime, excepting hot 
summer months. The seeds can be sown 
as soon as frost is over, but not much 
later if you wish to see good flowers the 
same year. Sow the seed in pots or flats 
or in protected frame. Since the seeds are 
small care must be exercised nct to wash 
them away. In abcut two or three weeks 
the seeds will germinate. When they are 
large enough to be transplanted, the 
seedlings should be planted in trays or 
outdoor and they will come to bloom the 
same year 


Early Flowering Double Mixed 

Starts flowering already in August, mostly 
full double, some are semi-double and a few 
singles in dozens of different colors. Flowers 
from seed the first year often comes 3 inches 
across, second year from cuttings often 
exceeds 4 in50 seeds $3.00; 25 seeds $2.00

Kale is entirely different as to its appearance. In 
young stage its leaves are green just like ordinary 
Kale, but in autumn as the season advances remark- 


ably beautiful colors begin to appear. The colors 
range from white, cream, pink, rose, magenta, etc., on 
dark green ground. As the plants grow, the colors be-

GLITTERS  \ALEAMERICA’AS "SELECTIONS7 

Glitters petunia is an F, hybrid, the 
first real red and white bicolored intro- 
duction. It grows only 8 inches high, 
is nana compacta type, and an excel- 
lent and very showy dwarf bedder and 
edger. Glitters seems much more uni- 
form in its starred or striped red and 
white coloring than the blue and white 
bicolors and this is a rich Fire Chief 
red with contrasting white stripes. Be- 
sides being the first and only one of 
its coloring, the condensed habit of 
growth keeps it neat and striking at all 
stages and seasons. Blooms are about 
2 inches across Pkt. 50c., 3 pkts. $1.25 


Pink Satin 
PINK SATIN, F, hybrid multiflora, 
plant is globe shaped, dwarf and per- 


sistently compact. Flowers are a bril- 
liant rose-pink, accentuated by a small 
white area deep in the throat of the 
bloom. Their color is every bit as 
dazzling as Red Satin, and part of 
that dazzling effect is due to the solid 
mass of blooms that cover the plants. 
You can scarcely see the foliage at all 
when bloom has reached its peak, and 
plants maintain that display week after 
week without spliting open. Pkt. 50c

JAPONICA 


ZOYSIA 


(Japanese Lawn Grass) 
CROWDS OUT CRABGRASS 


Zoysia japonica, commonly known as Japanese 
Lawn Grass, was first introduced into the United 
States about 35 years ago from Korea where the 
climate approximates that of New York State. 


Zoysia japonica is a low growing, sod forming 
perennial which if not mowed, will grow to a 
height of about 9 inches. It has a broad, some- 
what course leaf similar to Red Top, but does 
not grow as tall. 


Zoysia japonica is the only variety of Zoysia 
which is hardy and will grow in the South as well 
as in the North. It should never be confused with 
Zoysia matrella which is of value only to the 
southern end of Florida where it is sold as sod 
under the name of Flawn. 


It is generally believed that Zoysia japonica will 
be of great value for the following reasons: 


(1) Its ability to withstand heat, long periods 
of drought and extremely cold climates. 


(2) Its ability to crowd out Crabgrass as it is 
most dominant during the Crabgrass season. 


(3) Its ability to provide a green cover during 
the summer months when other grasses, 
such as Kentucky Blue, turn brown and 
ragged. It will also hold its color into the 
late fall longer than others. 


(4) Its ability to withstand heavy traffic and its 
extraordinary healing qualities. 


(5) The fact that it is disease free and weed 
free. So far none of the known pests have 
attacked it. It is immune to Chinch Bugs.

A client in Ft. Morgan, Colorado writes: 
"I ordered 1 1b. Zoysia Japonica last 
Spring and sowed it. Because apparent 
growth was so slow in developing the 
gardener reseeded with common lawn mixture 


which soon covered the barren patches. 
Despite this, however, those areas which 
had the Japonica are today a good healthy 
sort of sod easily discernible in the 
overall lawn. I will need 25 lbs. more of 
Japonica seed for reseeding."

~ct-Seedsmen, Inc., 
Yarren Ste, 
ODI 17/9) Nes: 


Gentlemen, 


You asked to let you know when our Zoysia lawn would to turn 
brown 


Now, the end of November, it is still a perfect green. Our Zoysia 
lawns are the admiration of everyone - they coud not be more 
perfect, and the $500 I invested in zoysia seed last Spring is 

far cheaper than spending $500 for the usual hundred pounds of 
ordinary lawn seed and several hundred bags of fertilizer, and the 
labor of app’ying it all, every Fall, not to mention the daily 
Sur~er sprinkling of the lawns- something not needed for the Zoysia. 


This much I will say-- it just is not practical to sow Zoysia seed 
alone to start a lawn. I would say the best plan for a new lawn 

is to sow it in the Fell, rather thinly, using mediocre grade of 
ordinary seed; let that come up-- you will have a fair quality lawn 
next Spring. Then that Vay, as soon as the ground is getting warm, 
go in and sow the Zoysia at the rate of 30 lbs. per acre, and rake 
it in, to get it down to the ground, and by August you will see it 
take a good hold- and by the Fall it will have driven out all the 
ordinary grass seed, and you will have a perfect Zoysia lawn. 


Very truly yours

sandy soils, for the same reason that camels, not horses, are used in the 
desert. - - So, Burnett-Seedsmen have selected the best drouth grass, 
namely, Creeping Red Fescue (Illahee strain). Because of it’s tolerance 
of drouth, Tllahee is especially adapted to dry, sandy or gravelly soils— 
poor or rich. Jllahee Creeping Red Fescue produces a deep rooted sod 
that withstands tramping and abuse. It spreads out, carpet-like, by 
means of underground rootstocks and overground stems. The grass blades 
are rich green, fine, smooth and soft; they stay green when other grasses 
brown and sear in Summer. fllahee is disease resistant; stands close 
cutting; grows in sun or shade and reaches full maturity in two years. 
It grows well with Highland Bent, also included in Burnett-Seedsmen’s 
Poorsoil Lawnmiz. Highland Bent’s growth habit somewhat parallels 
Illahee Fescue, especially being able to withstand adverse conditions of 
climate and low soil fertility. To these two permanent grasses is added 
a small percentage of domestic Rye Grass which acts as a nurse crop. 
Burnett-Seedsmen’s “Poorsoil Lawnmix” contains 75% Illahee Fescue, 
10% Highland Bent and 15% domestic Rye grass, by weight.

Fescue—30% Merion Blue —15% Red Top—15% Rye Grass. 
Burnett-Seedsmen’s “Formula No. 1” is a balanced mixture.

Shady Place Lawn Grass Seed Mixture 


Certain grasses, like certain flowers, revel and flourish in the shade. By 
including sufficient quantities of the shade loving grasses along with com- 
modious amounts of the choicest dwarf and creeping grasses, you may be 
assured of a successful lawn in the shade. Remember, in shaded situation 
where the sun’s rays do not permeate sufficiently to dry the ground, a damp 
and acid condition exists It is well to add lime before sowing.

Asters. . (Wilt Resststant ) 


Need no introduction, but what is Wilt Resistant Aster Seed? It’s a strain 
of seed produced from plants that were grown in heavily wilt-infested soil; 
It is reasonable to infer that if a strain was able to grow to full maturity 
and bear seed, it’s genera or offspring must likewise be immune to wilt. 
Don't take chances, sow Wilt Resistant Strain Asters wherever possible.

Broccoli 


Easier to grow than Cauliflower. 

No other table green has captured the 
appetites of a Nation more than Broccoli, 
and why not? Its delicious fine flavor 
is appetizingly pleasing even to children, 
yet rich in iron; more easily digested 
and is of easier culture. Set plants 18 
in. apart in rows and 24 in. between; 
when the center flowers form, cut with 
about 7 in. of stem; this will be followed 
later by several smaller heads. No fuss 
in tying up, like in cauliflower. 


Fifty Day Sprouting Calabrese 


Just think of it—you can pick “Fifty 
Day Sprouting Broccoli” in 40 to 50 days 
after transplanting, in certain localities; 
50 to 60 in others. Seeds of this super- 
lative variety were imported. direct 
from the grower in ltaly.

balanced and include a high percent-
