PETUNIA (Ruffled Nana Compacta) 

 Martha Washington — A new break in 

 Petunias. Martha Washington is a ruf- 

 fled or frilled nana compacta. Its 

 growth is about nine inches high and it 

 forms a perfect ball effect, literally 

 smothered with lovely frilled blossoms 

 about three inches in diameter. Its neat, 

 compact habit has never before been 

 seen in Petunias. 



The color is quite remarkable. The 

 frilled portion of the flower is a beauti- 

 ful blush pink and the center portion 

 is strongly veined a rich wine red deep- 

 ening in the throat, which is large, to 

 dark violet; the whole forming a strik- 

 ing contrast of colors. The veining is so 

 unique that the blooms resemble a 

 pelargonium. 



It comes 100% true to color and habit 

 and is suitable for borders, bedding, pots 

 or window boxes. This is a unique nov- 

 elty in a Petunia. Pkt., 25c. 



PETUNIA PENDULA DAMASK 

 ROSE 



The most outstanding improvement in 

 the Balcony group is this dazzling Spec- 

 trum Red. The large flowers 3 to 4 

 inches are the most brilliant Tyrian Rose 

 shade with a distinctly veined design of 

 a deeper shade Spectrum and resembles 

 a beautiful damask figure. The throat 

 is very small and of a light color. Pkt., 

 25c. 



DWARF CALIFORNIA GIANTS (Mixed)— The hab- 

 it of the plant is very dwarf, flowers very large and 

 of the finest substance. All with open, veined throats 

 of the superbissima type. Very fine range of color. 

 Pkt., 25c. 



PETUNIA NANA COMPACTA MIXED 



Each plant in this mixture forms a perfect ball 

 effect from eight to ten inches high and about twelve 

 inches in diameter. Each plant in this mixture is a 

 perfect symmetrical specimen and represents the re- 

 sult of many years of careful selection through a 

 group of colors representing deep rose, rose-pink, 

 pink, pale pink, crimson, white, and striped effects in 

 all these colors. We strongly recommend this im- 

 proved strain for use wherever Petunias are needed 

 — in pots, window boxes, borders, beds, and they are 

 even suitable for rock gardens. Pkt., 15c.

PETUNIA (Nana Compacta) PINK GEM 



This is the first of a charming new race of minia- 

 ture Petunias. It forms a neat compact plant five to 

 six inches high, literally smothered with deep pink 

 blooms. A plant eight inches in diameter will carry 

 as many as twenty-five to thirty blooms in flower at 

 one time. Individual blooms are two inches in diam- 

 eter. This miniature Petunia will be indispensable for 

 borders, window boxes, pots, rock gardens and for 

 bedding. Planted with a dwarf blue Ageratum, the 

 effect is most charming. Pkt., 25c.
