Bedding Petunias. 



Large Single Blotched and Striped. 



Bedding Petunias are almost indispensable 

 for garden decoration. They flower in a few 

 weeks' time from seed and continue to grow, 

 bud and bloom in such luxuriance until killed 

 by frost, and are so brilliantly effective, 

 whether massed in beds, borders or grown as 

 individuals, that they are deservedly popular. 

 The strain of seed we herewith offer is our 

 very finest selection from this type of Petunia, 

 producing large, single flowers, hieroglyphic- 

 ally blotched, striped, flecked, spotted, 

 netted, veined, starred, etc., including all the 

 Petunia colors, cherry, pink, crimson, white, 

 pvirple, rose, etc.; height, 1 foot. 

 Mixed Colors, per 1,000 seeds, 50c.; PH. 10c. 



Compact Bedding Petunias 



{P. Nana Compacta Mtiltijiora.) 

 Dense, bushy little plants, only about 8 

 inches high; the flowers, while not' large, re- 

 main boldly expanded, and in their profusion 

 fairly hide the plants for months; beautiful 

 for garden beds, borders and edgings, and 

 also beautiful subjects grown in pots. 



Dwarf Inimitable, cherry-red, with a white, 

 star-like throat Pkt. 10c. 



Pink Mound, rosy-pink, white throat.

Snowball, white flowers in profusion;

German Empress. Grand large flowers 

 of deUcate lavender, toning off white, 

 richly netted with velvety violet; throat 

 black Pkt. 25c. 



King Alphonso. Giant flowers of dark 

 crimson with black throat. The unique 

 feature of this Petunia is the deeply fluted 

 and ruffled petals causing it to look like a 

 double flower with an open throat. PA-(. 3oc. 



Bbeingold. Radiantly beautiful giant flow- 

 ers of noble form. The widely open throat 

 of rich golden-yellow — untarnished by 

 veins or netting — ex- 

 tends far towards 

 the outer margin of

 which is of 

 dazzling 

 white.

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, greenor maroon, 



running off into intricate veins. Some of the colors are rich and gorgeous and others 



of lovely delicate shades.

 flowers measured 6 inches across, and were the admiration ayid wonder 

 of our little city." D. FILSON, Steubenville, Ohio. 



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 — sells, blotched, veined, mar- 

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

 other strain in the world.
