No. 28. DOUBLE LAVENDER BLUE.— 
Broad petals. Flowers four to five 
inches in size. Very free blooming... $1.00 $.50 
No. 29. PURPLE DOUBLE.—Medium 
size . 1.00 .50 
No. 33 (Our 1937 Novelty) DOUBLE 
DAINTY LADY (Yellow).—Is of the 
same color as Dainty Lady Single, 
and is the first yellow double. I have 
produced double yellow Petunias 
by the thousand the last few years, 
and some were very yellow and 
large size, but they would not bring 
seed. This variety offered here is 
seed bearing. Seeds limited, no 
more than 2 trade packets to a cus¬ 
tomer .,. 1.00 .50 
No. 38. DOUBLE RUFFLED MON¬ 
STERS MIXED.—This is a mixture 
of the same colors as the single 
Ruffled Monsters but double. These 
have now reached perfection. After 
years of crossing and testing the 
size is enormous, reaching over nine 
inches in some instances. The per¬ 
centage of doubles is very high. 
No matter what other varieties of 
double petunias there are on the 
market, including the 100% double 
from foreign countries, you will find 
by comparison that ours excel in 
growth, color and size, so buy Amer¬ 
ican seeds and keep the money in 
this country . 1.00 .50 
1000 seeds . 1.50

snow white. About four inches in 
diameter. Semi-dwarf growth. 1.00 .50 
McRae, Ga., Feb. 13, 1936. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, California. 
Dear Sir: May I take this opportunity to say that I planted 
one packet of your No. 42 Petunias exactly as per your very 
minute instructions and I can safely say that 100 per cent 
came up. They are all four-inch plants now, and I am quite 
proud of myself, thanks to your perfect planting directions. 
I also had success with my Gerberas. They are only 
inch size but they are the only ones 1 ever had come up 
from Gerbera seeds which I purchased from four different 
seed houses. Again I followed directions. 
Thanking you, I am, 
Yours very truly, 
ANNA L. CRIDER.

Vergennes, Vermont, Jan. 29, 1936. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, California. 
Dear Sir: We are always satisfied with your beautiful 
Petunias. Spring would not be the same without their gor¬ 
geous blooms in our greenhouse. Please send by airmail 
the enclosed order. Thank you. 
Very truly yours, 
FISHER FLOWER FARM.

Cheshire, Conn., November 13, 1935. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, California. 
Dear Sir: Please send me your Petunia catalog. I tried 
some of your seed last spring in comparison with the 
Ramona strain and the new All-double, and find that there 
is little to recommend in them when grown beside your seed. 
Yours, 
MYERS &. HERRMANN, Florists.

No. 42. LARGE DOUBLE FRILLED 
MIXED.—After years of crossing 
and selection I have produced 
this double strain, which stands 
highest today commercially. The 
color plate in this catalogue will 
give you an idea of its average. 
In 2l/ 2 and 3-inch pots they com¬ 
mence flowering when only three 
to four inches high. These pic¬ 
tures of plants in pots in our cata¬ 
logue are actually growing. If the 
soil is not rich enough, many of the 
flowers may appear almost single 
when raised in small pots, but when 
you see the same plants after be¬ 
ing transplanted into the open, the 
flowers will be large and double. 
The amount of doubles is 75 per 
cent and the single types therefrom 
are all heavily-frilled and eagerly 
sought by the public.$1.00 $.50 
1000 seeds . 1.50

AND WHITE VARIEGATED.—Of the

pact growth and flowers sell at

tion of colors yet produced in Pe¬ 
tunias . 1.00 .50

Jefferson, Ohio, July 26, 1936. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, California. 
Dear Sir: The Petunias I bought from you came nearly 
all ruffled and large. All were salable plants, and well 
worth the cost. 
Keep my name on your list for any new items 1 can 
grow here. 
Yours truly, 
MRS. ALBERT BAILEY.
