GIANT FRINGED PETUNIA. 



PETUNIA. 



What garden flower gives more satisfaction than the 

 Petunia? Why have only the old-fashioned kinds, or 

 neutral, faded-out shades, when there is such a varie- 

 ty of new, handsome colors and shapes? I offer some 

 splendid strains this year, notably the "Giants of Cali- 

 fornia." the finest single and double Petunias raised 

 anywhere in the world. Examine my list. 



GIANTS OF CALIFORNIA, SINGLE. 



This mixture will give the handsomest Petunias ever 

 produced. Some will measure 4 or 5 inches across, the 

 corollas being ruffled, fluted and fringed, with extreme- 

 ly deep and large open throats. They will be striped, 

 blotched or solid in color, -with many new combina- 

 tions. The "Ring of Emerald" is included in this mix- 

 ture, with large, pink and crimson flowers, bordered 

 with a pure green band, a striking novelty (seeds very 

 expensive): also the variety offered by others as the 

 "Emperor," in rich, solid, velvety colors, occuringalsoin 

 striped and mottled varieties. Some of the colors are 

 mauve, mottled white, violacca and pure white. This 

 is California-grown, fresh seed, raised by parties who 

 have been experimenting in Petunias for several years 

 and who have won a world-wide reputation for their 

 beautiful productions. Pkt., 12 ets. 



GIANTS OF CALIFORNIA, DOUBLE. 



What is said of the above applies also to this class. 

 Flowers deeply and finely fringed and of beautiful varie- 

 ties. Double Petunias seed only by hand fertilization, 

 hence, the seed never has quite so much vitality as 

 that of the common garden variety, and does not all 

 come double. The only thing needed is more care in 

 planting, hence, it is better to sow the seed in boxes. 

 This mixture will give a large percentage of beautiful, 

 double-fringed flowers. Pkt., 15 ets. 



LILLIPUT PETUNIA. 



Small, compact plants, completely covered with rich- 

 ly colored, striped and mottled flowers, small, also, in 

 proportion to the size of the plant. A charming new 

 variety, exceedingly desirable. Pkt., lO ets.
