PETUNIA 
Hardy Annual 
For the flower-garden or for growing in pots and for window- 
boxes, Petunias are unequaled in effectiveness. They begin 
blooming early and are a sheet of bloom the entire summer 
until killed by frost in the fall. The separate colors we offer are 
wonderfully effective in mass beds and as borders. Sow seed 
outdoors in May in well-prepared soil or indoors in March or 
April and transplant in May. Cover the seed very lightly. 
New Petunia, Ruffled Nana Compacta 
Martha Washington 
Won Award of Merit in the All-America 
New Flowers for 1935 
A new break in Petunias. Martha Washington is a 
ruffled or frilled Nana compacta. It grows about 
9 inches high and forms a perfect ball, being literally 
smothered with lovely frilled blooms about 3 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, which is large, to dark violet, the whole 
forming a striking contrast of colors. The unique 
veining causes the blooms to resemble a Martha 
Washington pelargonium, for which it was named. It 
comes 100 per cent true to color and habit, and is very 
suitable for borders, bedding, pots, or window-boxes. 
Seed is exceedingly scarce this first year and will soon 
be sold. Pkt. (containing about 150 seeds) 50 cts.
