BEDDING PETUNIA. 



Large Single Blotched and Striped. 



Bedding Petunias are almost indispensable for garden decoration. They 

 flower in a few weeks' time from seed and continue to grow, bud and bloom 

 in such luxuriance until killed by frost, and are so brilliantly effective, whether 

 massed in beds, borders or grown as individuals, that they are deservedly popular. 

 The strain of seed we herewith offer is our very finest selection from this type 

 of Petunia, producing large, single flowers, hieroglyphically blotched, striped, 

 flecked, spotted, netted, veined, starred, etc., including all the Petunia colors, 

 cherry, pink, crimson, white, purple, rose, etc.; height, 1 foot.

Henderson's Giant Single Petunias 



Astrain of incomparable beauty, size and luxuriance. Most of the flowers are ex- 

 quisitely ruffled or fringed on the edges, and are of enormous dimensions (4 to 5 

 inches across), but their great merits lie in the tremendous variety of colors, 

 markings, veinings, blotches and stripings, in the most grotesque and beautiful com- 

 binations; some with charming deep throats of yellow, white, black, green or maroon, 

 running off into intricate veins. Some of the colors are rich and gorgeous and 

 others of 1 wely delicate shades. (See cut.)

Henderson's Giant Double Petunias 



are as large as Hollyhocks ; as double as double can be, with edges finely 

 fringed, petals fluted and crinkled, intensifying and varying the colors 

 with high lights and dark shadows, bringing out a richness and effect 

 unmatched by crumpled velvet, w r hich the flowers resemble. There is a 

 variety of colors — selfs, blotched, veined, margined, etc.; in short, these 

 double Petunias are unsurpassed by any other strain in the world.

 "I bought seed of your Giant Double Petunias last winter, and raised some beauti- 

 ful single-flowering sorts and 60 fine double ones. I have never seen anything 

 so fine in my experience of twenty years. I would not take $60.00 for the 60 

 double plants." H. H. HUNTRESS, Manchester, N. H.
