MICHELL’S 1935 INTRODUCTIONS 
We are pleased to offer for the 1935 season the following two 
splendid Novelty Petunias. After extensive trials these two have 
been selected as outstanding. Unique in coloring, flowers large and 
beautifully fringed; but most important is the exceedingly dwarf 
type, which makes them excellent for pot culture for florists’ use. 
Dwarf Giant Fringed, Michell’s “Rosalind.” Probably the most 
beautiful and striking coloring of all large flowering single petunias; 
the large fringed flowers are brilliant carmine rose, boldly striped 
with pure white. Trade pkt., $1.00; $2.50 per - 6 \ oz. 
Dwarf Giant Fringed, Michell’s “Violet Prince.” Another distinct 
color and companion to the above Novelty, “Rosalind”; flowers 
large and fringed; color, velvety violet blue and purest white. 
This is something absolutely new and should be grown by all 
florists. Trade pkt., $1.00; $2.50 per oz.
