PETUNIAS, Giant Emperor. The flowers, of the largest size, are extremely 

 velvety, of great substance, and are particularly noted for richness and depth 

 of coloring. They are plain edged, average about four inches in diameter, and 

 while embracing some light colors, even pure white, they are specially distin- 

 guished for such shades as violet, rich blue and deep garnet. 10 cts. pkt. 



P. Giants of California. The Giants of California bear gigantic flowers often 

 five inches and more in diameter, of an astonishing variety of colors. They 

 embrace every conceivable shade of crimson, aurora, pink, lavender, pure white,

 ings in the throat. Many of the flowers have a clear yellow throat, while others 

 have a pure vegetable black one, so deep that it seems to show no veining.
