Important Novelties of Plants, 1916 
NEW BEDDING PETUNIA 
“Heatherhome’s Glory” 
PLANTS ONLY 
Originated by the American Florist ”E. W. Breed” 
and in conjunction with the originator, we are the exclusive distributor of this remarkable 
novelty. 
Have you ever bought seeds of the pink Petunia called "Posy Morn,” carefully nursed it 
planted it out and pictured in your mind your beautiful carpet of pink to follow later in your 
garden, but when the plants came into bloom found not only every imaginable shade of pink 
but in addition, some most hideous colors, which spoiled the entire effect, and your year’s work 
all done in vain ? We know it is exasperating, but let us tell you that—just so long as you at¬ 
tempt to produce these color effects from seedling plants, you must e*poot disappointments. 
Realizing this peculiar situation and having our mind always on hints which might 
help our amateur friends, you can imagine what instantly impressed itself 0 n our minds when 
one day last summer we saw in a New England garden the most perfect carpet of the most 
exquisite pink Petunia we have ever seen in our lives. The picture wns so thrilling that the 
writer returned to this garden several times after the first visit to feast once more his eyes on this 
work of art. and his enthusiasm only grew with each succeeding call. 
Of course we had to find out how this carpet was created, and we did fool H 0 u*, nnmely _ the 
plants were purchased from a nearby florist, who for a number of years hud perfected this lovely 
Petunia, and could now furnish plants which he could guarantee would all come true to one 
shade of pink, and we are frank to admit that this shade of pink is far superior to the well known 
‘‘Rosy Morn.” 
You must also imagine how proud we felt when we induced the originator to let us dis¬ 
tribute this wonderful plant amongst our friends, and so let every one enjoy that satisfaction 
which comes from a really successful garden. 
When compared to “Rosy Morn,” the whole plant and flower is cleaner and more healthy. 
The flowers are much larger, brighter in color, and some even more free, a feature which I 
am afraid seems almost impossible to you, but which, nevertheless, is true. 
Let us suggest to you how you can employ this novelty for artistic and telling effects in the 
garden. 
If you use it as an edge or border plant, never set it in a straight lino, but let the line be 
irregular, so that like tongues, it reaches out in your path. 
If you like to break the color or combine it with others, we suggest adding to it either the 
“Violet Blue” Petunia, which comes fairly true from seed, or the white annual Baby-breath, or 
the violet or purple Tufted Pansies.
