Bedding Petunias 
Petunias 
We offer below the best of the bedding varieties, selected 
for their splendid form and fine colorings. 
A New Gold Medal Petunia 
Flaming Velvet. This glorious bedding variety was awarded 
the 1936 All-America Gold Medal for outstanding 
novelties. It blooms all summer, right up to killing frost, 
and the last flowers are as fresh and clean as the early 
ones. The color is a rich wine-purple with a velvety 
sheen which fairly picks up the sunshine and throws it 
back at one. Unlike many new plants from seed, there 
are no mongrels among these, every plant producing 
flowers of uniform size and color. This is a truly splendid 
variety. Pkt. 25 cts.; 5 for $1.

Phacelia Culture 1 
Campanularia. This is one of the earliest annuals to bloom, 
continuing throughout the summer. The neat plants, about

gentian-blue, cup-shaped flowers, with conspicuous white 
anthers, produced in terminal racemes. Very effective for 
edgings and makes a charming pot-plant. Pkt. 15 cts.
