PETUNIA, IMPROVED GIANTS 
As in the illustration, when in full bloom 
the plants of this greatly improved strain of 
Petunia show nothing but large, colorful 
flowers with open throats well marked and 
veined, five to six inches in diameter. It is 
the largest and finest of all Single Petunias 
on the market today, with plants very robust 
and exceedingly free flowering. We offer 
mixed colors only, with a wonderful array of 
pleasing shades and different veinings, that 
will make the finest and most gorgeous dis¬ 
play in beds or in window or porch boxes. 
We have checked this remarkable type at 
Cliffwood Farms, against many others, and 
for profuseness of bloom, brilliancy and va¬ 
riety of color, immense size of flowers, and 
length of blooming period, it outclasses and 
surpasses every other single type. Tlie seed may he 
started indoors in March or may he sown outdoors 
in early May. 2342—Price: Per pkt., 25c; 2 pkts., 
45c; 3 pkts., 60c; 1/64 oz., $1.15; 1/32 oz., $2.00; 
1/16 oz., $3.75. 
MINIATURE ROSE GEM 
Award of Merit, All American Selections! The 
plant of this showy petunia is only five to six inches 
high, compact and bushy, and simply smothered with 
rich rose colored single flowers about two inches in 
diameter. Very desirable for borders, because of its 
compact growth. 2316—Pkt., 25c.

SALZER’S IMPROVED DOUBLE 
FRINGED PETUNIA 
Enormous, fluffy, crinkly balls of bloom in a 
wonderful array of colors, spicily fragrant, borne 
in riotous profusion over a long period, Salzer’s 
Improved Double Fringed Petunia is the last word 
in these gorgeous and beautiful flowers. Petunias 
are not difficult to grow from seed, although the 
seed is very fine. Start indoors in March or sow 
directly outdoors when the trees begin to leaf out. 
In this superb Improved Double Fringed form 
we have the finest and most showy Petunia obtain¬ 
able. We offer mixed seed only, the mixture con¬ 
taining a wide range of shades and pure self colors. 
There is no finer strain than this on the market, 
and only a very small percentage will produce 
single flowers. A window box or a bed or border, 
of nothing but these beautiful Improved Double 
Fringed Petunias, will prove most satisfactory. 2343— 
Price: Per pkt., 50c; 2 pkts., 95c; 3 pkts., $1.35; 1/64 oz., 
$6.00; 1/32 oz., $11.50; 1/16 oz., $20.00. Choice Pot Plants: 
3 for 73c; 6 for $1.40; 12 for $2.65; 15 (sufficient for a 
window box) for $3.25, postpaid. 
FLAMING VELVET PETUNIA 
Received Gold Medal 1936 All American Flower Selec¬ 
tions! Flowers are large, of a heavy velvety substance, 
and are borne in riotous profusion. The color is outstand¬ 
ing,—a rich and brilliant blood red, running very true to 
type, with but few flowers oft color, and those that* are, 
are themselves beautiful. 2314—Pkt., 25c.

I am now 66 years old, and have been buying what seed 1 needed from your firm, since I was a boy of 13 on the farm 
in Ohio. Have always been well satisfied.—Rev. W. C. Strohmeyer, Box 183, Ceredo, W. Va.
