NEW STAR 



PBTUNIAS 



No. 2344. 



1 n form, intensity of color 

 :ind markings this new strain 

 of petunias is something won- 

 derful. From the centre of 

 eich flower starts the points 

 of a five-rayed star, which 

 liroadens half-way up, narrow- 

 ing to a point at the margin of 

 tae flower. 



Their ground color is a 

 dark crimson maroon, with a 

 rich velvety texture, justly 

 pronounced equal to that of 

 the pansy. Showing through 

 the ground color are violet 

 veinings. 



This star is a very light 

 blush pink, some almost 

 white, which deepens in color 

 as it reaches the margin and 

 finally blends with themaroon 

 ground color. Over 80 per 

 cent, of the plants from seed 

 will produce the star markings. 

 Others with veined and feath- 

 ery markings on dark or light 

 ground are not less surprising- 

 ly beautiful. 



The plants are free grow- 

 ers, branching freely and at- 

 taining an average height of 

 13 inches by 24 inches in 

 diameter. 



They are remarkably pro- 

 lific bloomers, single plants 

 often having one hundred or 

 more fully expanded flowers 

 at a time. Per pkt., 15c.; 2 

 pkts., 25c.
