PETUNIAS for All Purposes 
A very useful and free-flowering annual, thriving on any soil and in the hottest weather. For a showy bed, or for porch or 
window boxes, few plants equal the Petunia in effectiveness. Sow the seed in pots or flats in the house or hotbed in February 
or March, or in the garden as soon as the soil is warm. Cover the seed but slightly as it is very fine. 
Large Single Flowering Varieties 
655 SINGLE FRINGED DAINTY LADY. Not for many years 
has an entirely new color in Petunias been introduced to 
the gardening public. Various new shades of rose, pink, 
blue and crimson may be expected from season to season, but 
we now present for your critical approval a distinct new hue 
in the Petunia color cycle—delicate golden yellow. The 
Dainty Lady, the remarkable Petunia introduction is, to the 
best of our knowledge, the first really yellow Petunia. It has 
been in the process of development for the past ten years, 
gradually but surely deepening the color, until this season it 
is ready for presentation. The plants are neat, compact, semi¬ 
dwarf and free flowering, bearing generous quantities of the 
medium sized, delicately fringed light golden yellow flowers 
throughout the summer. You and your friends will be thrilled 
with this brand new Petunia color. Plant it in a border with 
Verbena Lavender Glory, or Ageratum Blue Ball, for good 
contrast of color. Fkt., 35c. 
656 SETTING SUN. The result of a cross between Petunia 
grandiflora fimbriata, Brilliant Rose, and a dwarf variety. It 
comes true from seed and forms compact bushes 12 inches 
high, covered with beautifully fringed blossoms of a bril¬ 
liant rose-pink, measuring 3 inches across. It is admirably 
suited both for growing in pots and for borders. Fkt., 35<c. 
657 GOTTFRIED MICHAELIS. A worthy companion to the 
Dwarf fringed Petunia, “Setting Sun,” introduced last year. 
The compact bushes of about 12 inches in height are cov¬ 
ered with daintily fringed and waved medium-sized flowers 
about 3 inches in diameter, of a brilliant amaranth-red, 
deepening somewhat toward the center. This Petunia will be 
found of the greatest value for bedding purposes, as also for 
pots and window boxes. Fkt., 35c. 
658 EEK’S FRIDE. Immense flowers of rich deep Elk’s purple, 
with large lobes forming a five-pointed star. The velvety 
black veins add much beauty. Fkt., 25c. 
659 DIENER’S PINK GLORY. Large, well-formed flowers of a 
most exquisite luminous pink, shaded with a contrasting 
white throat, and marked with creamy white veins. Fkt., 35c. 
660 THEODOSIA. Large, fringed, rosy pink flowers with a 
cl early defined golden center. Fkt., 35c. 
661 WHITE CLOUD. Pure white, very dwarf and compact. 
Fkt., 25c. 
Large Single Flowering Mixtures 
662 DWARF GIANTS (Ramona Strain). A dwarf, sturdy 
growing type, especially suited for pot culture. Flowers are 
beautifully ruffled and fringed with open well-marked 
throats. The mixture contains a good assortment of the most 
desirable dark and light shades which are well balanced. 
Fkt., 50c. 
663 RUFFLED MONSTERS. A half dwarf type of erect and ro¬ 
bust habit. The flowers are very large and ruffled, with open 
shallow throats. The colors are mostly the desirable red and 
dark shades, richly marked and veined. Fkt., 35c. 
Double Flowering Varieties 
664 DOUBLE FRINGED MIXED. An excellent, carefully 
hand-pollenized strain, yielding a large percentage of plants 
having double, finely fringed flowers. Embraces a splendid 
variety of colors and many beautiful combinations. Double 
Petunia seed is extremely costly and more care should be 
used in growing it. The small, slow-growing seedlings with 
crumpled foliage, which should be carefully saved, are the 
ones that produce the best double blooms; the remainder 
carry choice large single flowers. Fkt., 50c. 
665 DOUBLE ROSY MORN. Medium sized flowers, semi-double 
with heavy petals folding back from the center, of a lovely 
rose color. Fkt., 25c.
