HENDERSON'S SPARKLING Petunias 



(Peh 



3351 SILVER MEDAL 



The only All-America Medal winner 

 for 1949. One of the most prolific and 

 continuous bloomers ever created. 

 Blooms in three months from seed and 

 continues profusely until frost. Three- 

 inch flowers in uniform deep bright sal- 

 mon with rose pink sheen — a lovely color 

 never before seen in Petunias. Dense 

 plants 15 to 18 inches wide. ... Pkt. 50c. 



The Petunia is a plant of many uses. It thrives 

 as well on the seashore as in high mountainous 

 altitudes; it adopts itself to formal or informal 

 gardens, and can be used in the perennial border 

 or rock garden to produce spots of color during 

 the summer months. The Petunia combines well 

 with most garden flowers, and a garden composed 

 entirely of Petunias is indeed a gladsome thing.

HENDERSON'S 



JHooern UoLLecUon 



OF FIVE IMPROVED PETUNIAS 



3341 GLAMOUR— All-America Honorable Mention 



This is one of the loveliest Petunias we have ever grown. The flowers 

 range from four to five inches across, they are artistically waved and 

 ruffled, and the color is a beautiful salmon rose with golden brown vein- 

 ing on the white threat; brilliant in the garden and glerious under 

 artificial light. It is continuously in bloom and is the object of much 

 admiration wherever grown. The plant attains a height of from 15 to 

 18 inches Pkt. 50c. 



3375 FLUFFY RUFFLES— A Giant Single Fringed 



This beautiful variety bears large flowers 3 to 4 inches in diameter, 

 embracing many beautiful colors: crimson, pink, lavender, white, 

 mottled, etc. Many of the flowers have yellow throats, while others are 

 deeply lined and netted on a white, pink or lavender ground. The flowers 

 are beautifully ruffled, frilled and fringed. Mixed Colors. 



1000 seeds $1.00; pkt. 25c. 



32 95 A CHEERFUL— All America Bronze Medal 



Like the thoroughbred it is, this new petunia is outstanding for the crisp, 

 fresh, cheerfulness of its delicate salmony pink color. There is a slight 

 rose veining toward the throat which is imperceptible when seen en 

 masse. Cheerful will win the heart of every garden lover. It has a fine 

 compact habit of growing only ten inches high Pkt. 25c 



3297A ENGLISH VIOLET 



Possessing the same rich deep violet blue color that gives the Hardy 

 English or Russian Violet its aristocratic swank; this new petunia is in 

 a class by itself, not only for its superb color, but also for its free flower- 

 ing habit and neat compact form. Its height is about 15 inches. Pkt. 25c. 



3298 IGLOO— All America Bronze Medal 



Igloo is just about the most reckless blooming, white hybrida nana 

 compacta so far developed. Plants are very uniform and compact grow- 

 ing, 12 to 15 inches tall. The small, lVz inch, creamy white single flowers 

 with yellowish throats cover the plants in a sheet of bloom from early 

 to late in the season. Excellent for beds or borders Pkt. 25c.
