MICHELL’S CHOICE BEDDING PLANTS 
PETUNIAS 
Of the annual flowers, this is probably the most universally 
used; it can be put to a variety of uses, for bedding, baskets, 
window boxes or urns; they flower continuously. 
Giant Single Strain. Mixed colors. 
Rosy Morn. Dwarf; brilliant rose color with white throat. 
Double Victorious. Very dwarf and compact in habit of growth 
with large fully double flowers in many brilliant and fancy 
colorings. 
Double Carmine Queen. A very dwarf, compact growing 
variety with beautiful rosy-carmine flowers. 
Double White Queen. Dwarf and compact in habit of growth 
with pure white flowers, very double and beautifully fringed. 
Martha Washington. A new break in Petunias, a ruffled or 
frilled compact type growing about 9 inches high, the plants 
being literally smothered with blooms about 3 inches in diam¬ 
eter. The coloring is a blush-pink with the center veined wine- 
red deepening at the base of the throat. The veining is so 
unique that the flowers resemble a Pelargonium, hence the name. 
Periwinkle Blue. A welcome addition to the dwarf erect free 
flowering type. The color of this novelty is a delightful shade 
of pastel blue, resembling, very much, the perennial Vinca. 
Rose Gem (1936 Novelty). Rose Gem is a charming addition to 
the new miniature group of Petunias w T hich w r as 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 Rose of Heaven 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.
