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

 if planted early. A good assortment of mixed colors. Packet, 5 cents. 



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- 

 eeeds best in a rich soil and sunny situation. Some petunias are of a 

 trailing habit and some are quite erect. Many are deliciously fragrant. 



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. Packet, 20 cents; 3 packets, 50 cents. 



1641 ADONIS. A great bedder 

 on account of ils 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. 



1642 OENERAIi DODDS. Vel- 

 vety dark red, nearly black; a scarce 

 color among petunias. Handsome. 



Packet, 10 cents. 



1643 BABY BLUE. A soft redd- 

 ish purple; when seen in strong sun- 

 light they appear to be a lovely 

 blue. Packet, 10 cents. 



1644 WHITE PEARL. Similar 

 to Adonis, but the flowers are a 

 pure, satiny white. Packet, 10 cts. 



1645 SINGLE FRINGED VA- 

 RIETIES. Superb mixture. Fine 

 large fringed flowers. Many colors.

Petunia, General Dodds. 

 1646 BELLE ETOILE. 



Petunia, Double Extra Large Flowering, Mixed. 

 1636 DOUBLE EXTRA LARGE FLOWERING, MIXED. 



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 nnmerons petals are more or less folded, fringed and shaded 

 making a flower of unexoelled quality and beauty. Packet, 85 cents. 



Petunia, Howard's Star. 

 7647 HOWARD'S STAR. This grand Petunia has flowers 2 to '2}4 

 Inches in diameter, of fine texture, with more or less veining. Ground 

 color a crimson maroon. In the centre of each flower is a five-rayed 

 star of light blush pink or white. Height of plant, l^j to 2 feet. Alto- 

 gether novel and superior. One of the most attractive for bedding, 

 window boxes or borders. Packet, 10 cents; % ounce, 50 cents.
