Baltimore, Md., January 20, 1934. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, Calif. 
Dear Sir: Last year I was foolish enough to let some one 
talk me into buying some fine imported Italian Petunia 
seeds. They were supposed to be the greatest thing ever 
seen in Petunias. I tried them to my sorrow. There is no 
comparison to them against Diener's Petunias. The poorest 
flowers of your seeds, of which there are very lew, are 
100 per cent better than the finest of the imported Italian 
Petunia seeds. Every word in your slogan is true. 
Very truly yours, 
P. A. SCHNEIDER.

No. 41. COPPER RED (Ruffled Mon¬ 
ster).—Smoky center, five to six 
inches in diameter. After years of 
crossing I have removed all the bad 
habits that it had at first and it 
now is one of the most beautiful 
flowers in existence. It made a 
decided hit at the World's Fair at 
Chicago in 1934 and will be in 
great demand for some time to 
come . . 50 .25

—This mixture contains all Ruffled 
Monsters mentioned above, as well 
as many other colors, new this 
year. The average growth of the 
plant is more dwarf and if you 
want only a small amount of Pe¬ 
tunias in your garden this is what 
you should order. 50 .25 
No. 9. PEARL OF KENTFIELD.— 
Flesh Pink Frilled with golden yel¬ 
low center. Four inch flowers, 
dwarf growing. This is a specially 
fine variety for four to five inch pots

Theodosia is the same. Introducer of 
Theodosia did not know of the exist¬ 
ence of Pearl of Kentfield, originated 
by myself five years before.). 25 .10 
No. 11. DIENER'S BLUE. —I especially 
recommend this variety. It is of 
semi-dwarf growth and immensely 
free flowering. Flowers average

The color is a deep, silky blue and 
is one of the most favored varieties .25 .10

ly ruffled. Plants attain a height
