Henderson's Giant Single PETUNIAS. 



A strain of incomparable beauty, size and luxuriance. Most of the 

 flowers are exquisitely ruffled or fringed on the edges, and are of 

 enormous dimensions, (4 to 5 inches across.) but their great merits 

 lie in the tremendous variety of colors, markings, veinings, blotches 

 and stripings, in the most grotesque and beautiful combinations; 

 some with charming deep throat of yellow, white, black, green or 

 maroon, running off into intricate veins. Some of the colors are 

 rich and gorgeous and others of lovely delicate shades.

Henderson's Giant Double Petunias 



are as large as Hollyhocks; as double as double can be, with edges 

 finely fringed, petals fluted and crinkled, intensifying and varying 

 the colors with high lights and dark shadows, bringing out a rich- 

 ness and effect unmatched by crumpled velvet, which the flowers 

 resemble. There is a variety of colors — selfs, blotched, veined, mar- 

 gined, etc.; in short, these double Petunias are unsurpassed by any 

 other strain in the world.

 double flowering petunia in 

 commerce — the blossoms are 

 truly gigantic in size, meas- 

 uring 4 to 5 inches across, 

 of perfect form and sub- 

 stance, daintilv colored soft

Double Self Seeding Petunias. 



This new German strain is unique from 

 the fact that the double flowers produce 

 seed insuring a larger percentage of double 

 flowering plants (about 60^) than can be 

 raised from singles artificially pollenized frcm 

 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 in- 

 clude a variety of different colors Pkt 30c
