Maule’s Exquisite “Giant Ruffled” Petunias 
1638 
Ruffled Giants 
Petunias belong to the most useful and cherished of all our annuals. Their 
wealth of bloom throughout the summer and fall, together with their wide 
range of gorgeous colors, their easy culture and their modest requirements, 
assure them a place in every garden.— The Giant Ruffled Petunias offered 
below are extremely large, heavily ruffled and many are attractively veined 
in the throat. They are desirable both for garden display and pot culture. 
Their seeds, being more costly than those of the Bedding and Balcony 
Petunias offered on the opposite page, are best started indoors in 
shallow boxes or pots during March-April and the seedlings trans¬ 
planted where to bloom when the weather becomes settled.

1636 Extra Large 
Double Flowering 
Mixed 
We make a specialty of 
this double flowering 
strain, constantly im¬ 
proving it by selection 
and hybridizing. Our 
seed is obtained by 
hand-pollination, and 
produces a high per¬ 
centage of gorgeous 
plain-edged and fringed 
double flowers, the small 
balance being choice, 
large, single flowers of 
extra fine quality. We 
suggest to carefully save 
apparently weak-looking 
plants with crumpled 
foliage as these usually 
produce the best double 
flowers. Pkt. 35c; 1/128 
oz. $2.00. 
Dwarf Giant of California 
1620 Dwarf Giants of California 
A dwarf strain of this well-known type with compact, stocky 
plants which average but 12 in. in height. The truly enormous 
flowers are heavily ruffled and fluted, and come in an unusually 
large variety of colors. All are wide-throated showing an artistic 
veining of a different shade extending well into the corolla. Dwarf 
Giants of California are superb for bedding and extra fine for pot 
culture. Pkt. 30c; 1/128 oz. 70c; 1/64 oz. $1.25.
