DREER'S BEAUTIFUL BEDDING PETUNIAS 



For outdoor decoration, porch, or window boxes, or any position where a mass of color is wanted, we do not know of any plant that 

 equals the Bedding Petunias for effectiveness, and that will give such a wealth of charming color over so long a season. They begin flower- 

 ing early and continue a sheet of bloom without interruption until killed by frost. The six Bedding sorts offered below were selected for 

 their compact growth and distinct coloring, which is very well shown on the colored plate opposite. To secure the longest season of bloom, 

 the seed should be started indoors or in a hot-bed in March or April, r^r may be sown directly where they are wanted to bloom in May 

 or as soon as the weather has become settled and warm. The seed is very minute, and should be sown practically on the surface of nicely 

 prepared soil and merely pressed in. It will greatly aid in the even f'lstribution of the seed if mixed with sand or flour. For best results 

 the plants should be set about a foot apart, and preferably given a sunny position. The large-flowering Single and Double Fringed, and 

 Ruffled sorts will be found offered on page 101.

Large Flowering Petunia Purple Prince 



3575 This splendid rich velvety purple-violet variety belongs 

 to the Grandiflora or large-flowering section, and while 

 not as free as its smaUer-flowering relatives, the quality 

 of its blooms make up in effectiveness for what is lost in 

 quantity. Like all others of this section it is a very shy 

 seeder. 35 cts. per packet.

Double Stock-Flowered Larkspur Exquisite 



2361 This magnificent 

 strain was raised by 

 the late Rev. W. 

 Wilks, to whom we 

 are also indebted for 

 the Shirley Poppies, 

 and is unquestionably 

 the greatest improve- 

 ment ever made in 

 Foxgloves. The very 

 vigorous plants attain 

 a height of 5 to 7 feet, 

 with spikes of bloom 4 

 feet in length, closely 

 set with flowers of un- 

 usual size, ranging in 

 color from the purest 

 white to dark rose, 

 handsomely spotted 

 and blotched with 

 crimson, maroon, and 

 chocolate. This is 

 certain to supersede 

 all other strains of 

 Foxgloves. Seed sown 

 this spring will pro- 

 duce plants that will 

 make a glorious show 

 next season. 15 cts. 

 per pkt.; 2 pkts. for 

 25 cts.
