PETUNIA NEW ALL-DOUBLE 

 COLOSSAL SHADES OF ROSE 



(All-America Silver Medal Winner for 1946) 



3321 Colossal Shades of Rose are fully double, 

 varying in form from those with crisply fringed 

 petals to those with beautifully ruffled petals. 

 This variation in flower form adds interest to a 

 planting as does the difference in color, which 

 ranges from salmony pink through rose-pink to 

 deep, rich rosy mauve — a most attractive blend- 

 ing of rose shades. Plants are strong growing, 

 20 inches high, spreading as much as 3 ft. across 

 and bearing their immense all-double blooms in 

 the greatest profusion. Valuable for beds, 

 borders, window boxes and cutting.
