IiOveliness, The noulili* Fringed Type 
Petunias 
A Leading Specialty of Martin’s 
Our list of Petunia seeds has been very carefully selected to include) the very best 
the world affords. On practically every strain we have inspected parent plants of 
our seed stocks and also run trials in our own grounds so we have had an excellent 
opportunity to compare values and judge claims. 
The summer of 1935 we had over 90 strains of Petunias planted in our trial 
grounds. Again in 1936 wei planted a total of 101 trials of Petunias. During both 
of these seasons almost daily inspection of the trials gave us information regarding 
the varieties that could have been obtained in no other way. 
We have selected the varieties we consider the best in each class to offer you. 
Some varieties have been discarded as they are now superseded by better ones. 
There are many other good varieties in the making but wbich we are not offering 
this year since in our judgment they have not yet been brought to a reasonable 
trueness in color and type. 
The World Famous ALL DOUBLE Petunias 
The originator of these strains deserves great commendation for the production of 
the first all double seed producing Petunias. We have the originators strain of 
seed and highly recommend them. The percentage of trueness in color and type of 
flowers and plants is remarkably high.

Starting Petunias Early 
If you want good 4 inch pot plants of 
Double and Giant Petunias in bloom for 
Mother’s Day and Memorial Day, the seed 
should be started in early, or at least, by 
mid-December. Then the plants can be 
grown cool without too much forcing and 
you will have better blooming, stockier 
plants.

Erfurt Petunias. The plants are very dwarf and compact, yet free
