" With enclosed order I am sendingji snapshot of a bed of Henderson's Giant Petunias. 

 Many of them came double, and sortie measured 5 % /i inches across. 



"The picture shows the flowers after I transplanted them into pots to use as house plants 

 during the winter months. I live 25 miles west of the Yellowstone National Park at an

HENDERSON'S SELECTED 



Petunias 



Years of scientific culture and hybridization of Petunias 

 have gradually evolved superior races of large flowered, robust- 

 growing varieties greatly surpassing those of former days. 

 The varieties described on this page are all standards in their 

 respective classes; in fact, the best of their kind. 



Petunia, Compact Bedding 



Dense, bushy little plants, only about 8 inches high; the 

 flowers, while not large, in their profusion fairly hide the 

 plants. 



3302 Inimitable. Cherry-red with a white throat. Pkt. 10c. 

 3304 Norma. Velvety-blue, with white center. . . . Pkt. 10c. 

 3306 Pink Mound. Rosy-pink, with white throat .Pkt. 10c. 



3308 Snowball. White flowers Pkt. 10c. 



3310 Compacta. Mixed Colors 



Per 1,000 seeds, 40c; Pkt. 10c. 



Petunia, Henderson's Giant 

 Double 



"GIANTS OF CALIFORNIA" 



These are as large as Hollyhocks, and very double. The 

 edges are 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. They come in a variety of colors 

 — selfs, blotched, veined, margined, etc.; in short, these 

 Double Petunias are unsurpassed by any other strain. 

 3320 Mixed Colors Pkt. SOc. 



NOTE. — 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-flowering plants, 

 and these in the seeding stage are always the weaklings of the 

 batch and are the ones to be coddled. 



"We have gotten the best double Petunias from your seed 

 we ever had; much better than we could obtain elsewhere." 

 HOPKINS & HOPKINS, 



Prospect Hill Gardens, Chepachet, R. I. 



Petunia, Double Self-Seeding 



3330 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 pollcnized from double 

 flowers, which is necessary in producing nil other 

 Double Petunias from seed. The flowers <4 tlit-sc 

 Double Self-seeding Petunias are large — double- -and 

 include a variety of different colors Pl.t. 50c. 



Petunia, Henderson's Giant 

 Single 



Petunias are almost indispensable for garden decoration. 

 They flower in a few weeks' time from seed and continue to 

 grow and bloom in luxuriance until frost. Our strain of 

 Giants of California is of incomparable beauty and size. 

 Most of the flowers are exquisitely ruffled or fringed on the 

 edges, and all are of enormous dimensions, 4 to 5 inches 

 across. Variety of colors, shades and markings, in most 

 beautiful combinations, is remarkable. (See illustration.)
