Balcony Petunias 



The Petunia has long been regarded as one of the best flowers 

 for growing in window or porch boxes, vases, etc. The Balcony 

 Petunias are particularly recommended for this purpose. The 

 showy flowers which average about three inches in diameter are 

 produced in great abundance from early summer until killed by 

 frost. (See illustration.)

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. ™

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; so only about one-third of the progeny will be double and these in 

 the seeding stage are always the weaklings of the batch and are the ones to be 

 coddled. 



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.)

Petunia, Double Self-Seeding 



This new strain produces 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 other Double Petunias from 

 seed. The flowers of these Double Self-seeding Petunias are 

 large — double — and include a variety of different colors.
