New Varieties for Special 
Mention 
Celestial Rose 
In the Hybrida Erecta group and very, 
very good. The color of Rose of Heaven, 
Celestial is perhaps even a little more 
sparkling and a trifle more dwarf. In our 
trials the past season, we found it hard 
to tell which was the better, Celestial or 
Martins Improved Rose of Heaven. A oz. 
40c, Vs oz. $1.10, oz. $4.00. 
Flaming Velvet 
The Gold Medal Winner in 1935 
All American Trials 
A rich and velvety blood red which runs 
true, showing only a very few off shade. 
In the Hybrid group, Flaming Velvet is 
not quite as dwarf and compact as Rose 
of Heaven. It is deeper in color, nearly 
approaching the red. It certainly is worthy 
of your trial and as seed is scarce, it is 
advisable to order at once. Tr. Pkt. 50c, 
A oz. $1.25, Vs oz. $2.25. 
Cocatoo 
Deselected Improved Strain 
Cockatoo is a general favorite for a fancy 
deep blue and white. Our trials last sum¬ 
mer convinced us that it is one of the best 
of all Smaller flowered Petunias and the 
strain we offer is outstanding for com¬ 
pact growth and uniformity of coloring. 
Tr. Pkt. 50c, Vs oz. SOe, % oz. $1.50, oz. 
$4.50. 
NANA COMPACTA GROUP 
Extra Dwarf 
These are the dwarfest of all Pe¬ 
tunias, tiny little plants 6 to 9 inches 
high smothered with bloom 
Martha Washington Ruffled. An all 
American award winner for 1935. 
In growth, about 9 inches high, 
growing in a perfect ball effect 
and under good conditions very 
free blooming. The frilled part of 
the flower is a beautiful blush 
pink with the center strongly 
veined with wine red, deepening 
in the throat to violet. Tr. Pkt. 
SOe, A oz. $2.00. 
Rose Gem (new). A companion to 
Pink Gem but very much deeper 
in shade, a rich rose pink. We 
believe it well worthy of trial. 
Tr. Pkt. 75e, & oz. $1.50. 
Pink Gem. The first to be introduc¬ 
ed in this group. A neat compact 
plant only 6 to 8 inches high and 
spreading out to a diameter of 12 
to 15 inches. A little too pale to 
be very showy but very delicate 
and pretty. ^ oz. 40c, % oz. 75c, 
% oz. $1.25. 
Petunia Hybrida

though much improved in types and col¬ 
oring. Small flowered but so free bloom¬ 
ing that they make solid beds of color. 
Blue Bee.. Medium deep 
shade.
