European Specialist Grower’s Description (Note: 
This particular grower has originated many of the 
choicest varieties of Petunias that are now in 
commerce) : 
Year by year the value of the large flowering 
dwarf Petunias for beds, borders, window boxes, 
etc., is more fully realized. A beautiful rose and 
white variety “Gaiety” has now joined the other 
fringed members of this group, the brilliant rose 
"Setting Sun” and the bright amaranth red “Gott¬ 
fried Michaelis.” The bushy plants about I foot 
high are thickly covered with flowers measuring 
about 2/i inches across. The finely fringed and 
sometimes waved edges of these flowers give the 
impression of a dainty lace gown. Tr. Pkt.50c

NEW PETUNIA RUFFLED NANA COMPACTA 
“MARTHA WASHINGTON" 
(Given an Award of Merit by the “All-America” Council, 1934) 
A new break in Petunias. Martha Washington is a ruffled or frilled nana com- 
pacta. Its growth is about nine inches high and it forms a perfect ball effect, 
literally smothered with lovely frilled blooms about three inches in diameter. Its 
neat, compact habit has never before been seen in Petunias. 
The color is quite remarkable. The frilled portion of the flower is a beautiful 
blush pink and the center portion is strongly veined a rich wine red deepening 
in the throat, to dark violet, the whole forming a striking contrast of colors. The 
veining is so unique that the blooms resemble a pelargonium. 
It comes 100% true to color and habit and is suitable for borders, bedding, pots 
or window boxes. This is a unique novelty in a Petunia.

NEW DOUBLE FLOWERING PRIMULA OBCONICA 
“PORTLAND BEAUTY" 
(See Illustration at Left) 
A double flowering Primula Obconica has been long sought for by plant special¬ 
ists and we are glad to say that such has now been accomplished by an Ameri¬ 
can grower. Ernst Eriksson of Riverside, Ill., and J. Sylvester of Oconto, Wis., 
both high class pot-plant growers, tell us that this new Primula has a great 
future. Shades of dark pink, lavender pink, and rose pink mixed. Since same 
seeds sparsely and the supply is limited, early orders will have first call.

Excerpt from The Florists’ Exchange, 1934. 
A STARTLING NEW PRIMULA, “DAZZLER” 
“From Hurst & Son, seed merchants and growers of London, England, comes a 
preliminary announcement of what they call a ‘really startling novelty in flower 
seeds.’ It is a Chinese Primrose (Primula Sinensis Fimbriata) which the firm 
has named Dazzler in recog¬ 
nition of its striking and un¬ 
usual color; ‘orange red, as 
seen in the setting sun’ is 
suggested as the only term 
that accurately describes it. 
Unfortunately the excellent 
photograph reproduced here¬ 
with does justice only to the 
excellent form and free flow¬ 
ering quality of the plant. 
It is claimed that a well- 
grown specimen will carry 
well over 20 flowers open at 
one time; also that while 
handsome under all circum¬ 
stances, the blossoms are es¬ 
pecially effective under ar¬ 
tificial light.” Tr. Pkt. .$1.00
