Some Types of Single Petunias Giants of California 



GIANT PETUNIAS 



Giants of California. No Petunias 

 have ever been introduced that surpass 

 the strain Giants of California in beauty, 

 grace, splendid colors and variation. Flow- 

 ers measure 4y 2 to 5 inches across, beauti- 

 fully ruffled and often frilled on the edge. 

 Color royal crimson, and wine color, exquis- 

 ite shades of pink, lavender and white, vein- 

 ed, penciled, flushed or variegated with dark- 

 er shade in splendid colors. A distinguishing- 

 characteristic is the wide flaring throat net- 

 ed and veined with black, dark red or 

 yellow, which adds greatly to their beauty. 

 The flowers in the picture were 4% to 5 

 inches in diameter. 20c pkt. (See cut.) 



Fringed Hybrids. The flowers of this type 

 are different in form from the above but 

 very beautiful, smaller in size and without 

 an open throat. Very refined in form and 

 varied and beautiful in color, from snow- 

 white through the shades and combinations 



of crimson, pink, mauve and lavender, vein- 

 ed and blotched; pkt. 10c. 



Pilocereus 



P. C. Senilis. The wonderful "Old Man Cac- 

 tus". No cactus collection is complete with- 

 out this plant, so strange with its snow 

 white covering of long flexuous hair-like 

 spines, that visitors at first refuse to be- 

 lieve it is a living plant. When the hair 

 is divided and the green stem below is 

 exposed to view, the expressions of in- 

 credulity are turned to wonder. Our pres- 

 ent stock is the finest we ever imported, 

 every plant being a perfect specimen. $1. 



SHASTA DAISY. Improved. Flowers are 

 large and graceful with three or more 

 rows of petals, of purest glistening white. 

 They are borne on long wiry stems, two 

 feet in length. The flowers often meas 

 ure four or more inches across. 10c; 75c 

 doz.
