HENDERSON'S

Henderson's GIANT SINGLE PETUNIAS 



A strain of incomparable beauty and sire. Most of the flowers are ex- 

 quisitely ruffled or fringed on the edges, and all are of enormous dimensions, 

 4 to 5 inches across, but their great merits lie in the tremendous variety of 

 colors, shades and markings, in most beautiful combinations. Some colors 

 are rich and gorgeous and others of lovely delicate shades.

CUSTOMER'S COLLECTIONS OF PETUNIA SEEDS.

Henderson's GIANT DOUBLE PETUNIAS 



These are as large as Hollyhocks; and very double. The edges are 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, which 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. 



XOTE. — This strain of Double-flowering Petunias do not produce seed. The 

 pollen from the doubles is transferred to the chosen singles which produce the 

 seed; in consequence only about one-third of the progeny will be double-flower in ? 

 plants, and these in the seedling stage are always the weaklings of the batch and 

 are the ones to be coddled. Even the best double-flowering plants of these may 

 only bear a single or semi-double flower at first. 



Brilliant Rose, Xo. 9. Lovely bright rose-pink Pkt. 25c. 



Violet. Rich, velvety purplish-violet Pkt. 25c. 



Lady of the Lake, No. 8. Large, fringed, pure white Pkl. 25c. 



Mixed Colors 25c. 



Customer's Collection of Giant Double Petunias. Any three 25c. pkts. 



selected for 60c. 



DOUBLE SELF-SEEDING PETUNIAS 



This new strain is unique from the fact that the double flowers produce 

 seed insuring a larger percentage of double-flowering plants (about 60 per 

 cent.) than can be raised from singles artificially pollenized from double 

 flowers which is necessary in producing all other Double Petunias from seed. 

 The flowers of these Double Self-seeding Petunias are large — double — and 

 include a variety of different colors Pkt. 25c. 



BEDDING PETUNIAS 



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 luxuriance until frost. The strain of seed we herewith offer is our very 

 finest selection from this type of Petunia, producing large, single flowers, 

 blotched, striped, netted, etc., including all the Petunia colors; height, 

 1 foot. 



Mixed Colors. Per 1.000 seeds. 25c . . Pkt. 5c.
