FER RY'S SEEDS 



Petunias, Giant Ruffled and Fringed 



PETUNIA [hA] What flowers succeed under more unfavorable conditions than petunias? jVnd what flowers lend themselves to 

 more uses? When massed in beds they truly form "a sea of color." As low border plants they are kaledioscopic in their 

 shades and hues. In window boxes or overhanging a terrace wall thej' are brilhant trailers. They make good house plants, 

 too, the fringed and double flowering varieties supplying magnificent blossoms. These low spreading plants with their 

 trumpet flowers love the sunshine thej' often bloom within two months after seed is sown, and when frost comes they will 

 still be making a brave display. 



Hybrida [2 ft.] This large class forms fine bushy plants 

 that are of great value for massing in beds or in groups in 

 the border to replace gaps made by the passing of early 

 spring flowers. While the single flowers are not particularly 

 large, their great number makes a gorgeous show.

Nana Erecta [18 in.] As an edging, or for dotting the front 

 of a border at intervals, these low growers with their dainty 

 petite single blossoms are superb. The plants bear bounti- 

 fully.

 Heavenly Blue An excellent silverj-, sky-blue.

Balcony or Trailing [15 in.] To droop over the edge of a 

 window box or to overhang a terrace, these are the best 

 petunias to select. They differ from the bushy varieties by 

 producing longer, more spreading plants. In their several 

 colors the single flowers are very gay, either alone or in 

 combination. 



Blue Deep violet blue. Rose Vi^^d rosy pink. 



White Satin white.

Giant Ruffled and Fringed [12 in.] If you prefer size rather 

 than large numbers of flowers, these are the ones to choose. 

 Blossoms often measure 3 or 4 inches across. They are the 

 largest single petunias known. Because of the vigor that 

 goes into the blossoms, the plants themselves are often 

 relativeh' small. The flowers are all gracefully fringed or 

 ruffled at the flaring edge of their trumpets, they come in 

 colors that are rich and gorgeous, and they are usually 

 delicately veined inside their wide open throats. 



Pride of Portland Rosy carmine veined with purple. 

 Romany Lass Copperj'' crimson, veined dark throat. 

 Theodosia Soft rosy pink with veined j-ellow throat. 

 White Beauty Satin white, sHghtly veined apple green.

Giants of California [12 in.] These single blossoms are also 

 immense; many are charmingly frilled; some have plain 

 wavy edges in a wide range of colors; all have beautifullj' 

 veined interiors.

Double Fringed Mixed [12 in.] Full double flowers are the 

 dehght of many growers. Here the deUcately fringed edges 

 of the petals add an increased charm to the large spherical 

 blooms. Our stock of this variety will produce a high 

 percentage of true, perfectly double fringed flowers in a 

 wide varietj^ of colors and shades Pkt. 50c
