PETUNIA NEW ALL-DOUBLE 

 COLOSSAL SHADES OF ROSE 



(All-America Silver Medal Winner for 1946) 



3321 — Colossal Shades of Rose is the first giant 

 all-double petunia ever created in America and 

 the biggest petunia ever known, many flowers 

 growing over 5 in. across. All 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.
