MacLeod Ross ° SEEbS FOR '63 While some of you 'Neill.lu- definitely , detained in Florida and, Texas by the snow drifts, we here have enjoyed a spate of. spring seed catalogues. Eacli year at this time the seedsmen vie with one another to pro- duce more and more vivid color Oh the pages. Since the print- _ ed picture can only reflect, it is probable that we shall soon be sent transparencies and so .attain the full flooding efful- gence of transmitted light and therefore color. This -year Bprpee and Domin- ion Seed dead heated, Georgie Park came a few days later, fnally..McConnell with a front- ispiece of rose Super Star (or Tropicana) which should con- vince all the doubting Thom- ases that they must possess at least one specimen; and while. wedo not.-wish;,it to bethought that we are in any way compet- ing-Ivith the town fire siren, It- is some small tribute to the -sagacious judgment of the G.H.S. that it not only tipped this rose, but had one in bloom in 1961, while only this coming spring is the rose available on ° "the" North American contin2nt. To revert to seeds. It always -. aPPears that Burpce,, Park and Dominion differ very greatly in their offerings. They ail fea- ture the best selections of the other but while -Burpee makes his main pitch, on. 'zinnias, as _ters, marigolds and snaps, George Park wields a much more selective and adventur- ous brush. The two firms dif- fer as does 'a Reynolds from a Frank Hals painting. This does not -imply any reflection on their respective offerings,- all :of Which are- excellent; but if - you desire a new shade from the one you have grown for some years, or an unusual nov- eity,- then Park. is your man. Why narrow the s.eedsmen-down to three-. For no other reason than that it seems best to get to know your supplier and it becomes confusing to fry and cape with all` the suppliants for your patronage. - -This year Burpee features Thuhbellina . Zinnia, eight in - cues tall and useful for bord- ers, window boxes or rock gar- dens. Last year we had Red .elan zinnia; this year it is Fire- cracker, a clear rich red with -scarlet undertones. The Blue Wonder aster with flowers re- sembling an uncurved chrysan- themum. A new Fl hybrid snap. called Topper with some good colors flaming orange scarlet, clear lavender and a rose pink. Burpee -also has a nearest -to - yellow petunia called But- terscotch with a : deep' golden throat. A canary yellow marigold called Mr. San' has a fluffy appearance induced by interlaced petals._ -, Finally 'u soe , i,iant fluffy asters with cur!ec petals resembling ostrich feathers, so imaginative are these seedsmen, In white, pink, scarlet and a blend of all these colors. ' Park has some very attractive petunias: ,Pink Riches is a full double ruffled and a warm rich pink, while Sugar Plum double has the color, habit and rain- proof qualities of the single -of the same name. Then the Tas- sel Flower or Emilia with bril- liant scarlet carnation - like blooms ' performs: for a long period -in the border and the flowers may be even dried for wing" use. There is a _ new Impatiens in tangerine for those who like that color and some very attractive begonias for in- doors. Calla Queen .has white and green waxy leaves which, when they appear, look like Callas; •,•lienee• the name. The flowers are bright scarlet rcd. In Coleus Park offers a wonder- ful variety—Oriental Splendour and Brilliant; both of which are easy to grow and really colorful.- There is another -little indoor begonia, Jewelite, with double- flowers ranging from deep „scarlet through pink, with a dark- waxy foliage which for many will bp„ a must. - These are just a few selec- tions which catch the eye. Bur - pee is at Philadelphia 32, Pa.; Dominion Seed at Georgetown, Ont., and George W. Park at Greenwood, South Carolina, Call- them—they may not have called you. -lliibarts PIifl1s.
