MICHELL’S CHOICE BEDDING PLANTS 
PETUNIAS 
Of the annual flowers, this is probably the most universally 
used; it can be put to a variety of uses, for bedding, baskets, 
window boxes or urns; they flower continuously. 
Giant Single Strain. Mixed colors. 
Rosy Morn. Dwarf; brilliant rose color with white throat. 
Michell’s Dwarf Giant Fringed, Rosalind. Probably the 
most beautiful and striking coloring of all large flowering 
single Petunias. The large well fringed flowers are a brilliant 
carmine-rose, boldly striped with pure white. The marvelous 
contrast of these two distinct colors makes this variety entirely 
outstanding. 
Violet Prince. Another distinct color and companion to “Rosa¬ 
lind.” The flowers are just as large and fringed; the color is a 
velvety-violet blue and pure white. 
Double Victorious. Very dwarf and compact in habit of growth 
with large fully double flowers in many brilliant and fancy 
colorings. 
Double Carmine Queen. A very dwarf, compact growing 
variety with beautiful rosy-carmine flowers. 
Double White Queen. Dwarf and compact in habit of growth 
with pure white flowers, very double and beautifully fringed. 
Martha Washington. A new break in Petunias, a ruffled or 
frilled compact type growing about 9 inches high, the plants 
being literally smothered with blooms about 3 inches in diam¬ 
eter. The coloring is a blush-pink with the center veined wine- 
red deepening at the base of the throat. The veining is so 
unique that the flowers resemble a Pelargonium, hence the 
name. 
Periwinkle Blue. A welcome addition to the dwarf erect free 
flowering type. The color of this novelty is a delightful shade 
of pastel blue, resembling, very much, the perennial Vinca.
