tions, but generally called half hardy. Will bloom freely the first year,

PETUNIA 
Hardy Annual 
No annual flower is more widely used than the petunia. It begins to 
bloom early, and lasts the whole season, until killed by frost. It suc- 
ceeds best in arich soil and sunny situation. Some petunias are of a 
trailing habit and some are quite erect. 
Many are deliciously fragrant.

1636 DOUBLE EXTRA LARGE FLOWERING. Ma q 
Double Extra Large Flowering petunias are without doubt the finest 
ever Offered to the public. For years I have made a specialty of this 
strain, constantly improving it by selection. The flowers assume great- 
er size and richness as time elapses, and the type ever becomes more 
desirable. In color, shape, markings and texture it is all that can be de- 
sired. The numerous petals are more or less folded, fringed and shaded 
and the result is a flower of unexcelled quality and beauty. The plant 
is strong, stocky and vigorous, and foliage pleasing. Packet, 20 cts.

1637 QUADRICOLOR, NEW MAMMOTH SINGLE. This is a 
remarkably fine addition to the class of giant flowered single petunias. 
The four colors implied in the name are bright rose, lustrous carmine, | 
deep blood red and a decided yellow. The outer portion is rose, the 
veins are carmine and the throat is blood red. Radiating from the 
throat in a large proportion of the blooms are five handsome yellow 
blotches, making a more or less regular star, and producing a decidedly 
novel and interesting effect. Color combination is pleasing; the vein- 
ing of the petal is exquisite and indicates high breeding. Pkt,, 20 ots.

PETUNIA, SELECTED RUFFLED GIANTS. 
1638 SELECTED RUFFLED GIANTS. This is the handsomest 
petunia in the world, not only on account of its great size, but because 
of its rich colors and markings and its fringed or notched petals. The 
blooms are exquisitely ruffled on the edges. Some flowers are 5 inches 
across. The tints are rich and varied, embracing purple, yellow, rose, 
velvety crimson, etc., including much curious veining and penciling. 
Some flowers are blotched in grotesque ways, usually with dark throats, 
giving an appearance of depth and substance. Packet, 20 cents. 
. 1641 ADONIS. A. new dwarf pe- 
tunia of great merit as a bedder on 
account of its very free blooming 
habit. The plant attains a height of 
10 to 12 inches. The color is a vel- 
vety shade of light purplish crim- 
son, with clear white throat; a hand- 
some combination. Pkt., 10 cts.

vety dark red, nearly black; a scarce 
color among petunias. Blooms all 
summer; handsome and ornamen- 
tal, contrasting finely with other

1643 BABY BLUE. The flowers 
measure but one and a half inches 
across, and are of a soft reddish pur- 
ple; when seen en masse in strong 
sunlight they appear to be a lovely 
blue. This is one of the most satis- 
factory sorts to grow in solid masses 
or as a border plant. Pkt., 10 cts.

to Adonis, but the flowers are a 
pure, satiny white. Packet, 10 cts.
