New Miniature Petunia "Rose Gem" 
Given an Award of Merit by the All-America Council, 1935. Rose 
Gem is a charming addition to the new miniature group of Petunias 
which was started with Pink Gem. Rose Gem is the color which 
the public has been asking for in this miniature form. It is the rich 
deep rose that has made Petunia Celestial so popular. The plant is 
neat and compact, five to six inches high and smothered with rich 
rose-colored blooms about two inches in diameter.

Double "Shepherd's Pride" 
Salmon shrimp-pink. An old favorite with the trade, produces a fair 
percentage of large double blooms. We recommend, however, in 
preference to this, A. B. C. World Beauty, which can be depended 
upon to produce practically 100 per cent double. Furthermore, this 
is undoubtedly the choicest double pink Petunia on the market today.
