BUTZER’S GIANT PANSIES 
BUTZER’S ROSE CITY GIANTS 
The plants distinguish themselves by their robust 
growth, and form compact bushes of round shape, with 
strikingly large, healthy looking foliage. 
The imposing five-spotted flowers which on long, 
vigorous stalks surmount the foliage in the most 
graceful manner, are of enormous size, perfectly round 
form, original structure and unusual substance. The 
individual petals are exceedingly broad and cover each 
other in such a manner as to make the flowers appear 
almost double. With most of the flowers the border 
of every petal being conspicuously undulated and 
curled, which grants the flowers a striking and very 
peculiar appearance, entirely new to this class of 
plants.

more beautiful than any others we have ever seen. 
It produces well rounded, compact plants which are

markable substance and texture. The range of color 
is simply remarkable and by far the majority of 
plants bear heavily ruffled and crinkled blooms, car¬ 
ried on long stiff stems. Pkt. 25c; 5 pkts. $1.00; 1/16

PETUNIA 
The Petunia is without a peer among annuals for 
effective summer bedding or indoor culture. They are 
of easy culture, early to bloom and continue through¬ 
out the summer until the first killing frost. No 
other flower produces a great diverstiy of color, re¬ 
taining their freshness for so long a period. The 
doubles may be perpetuated, if desired, by taking cut¬ 
tings late in the summer, for winter house blooming 
plants. Provide good soil and a sunny location.
