HENDERSON’S 
GIANT DOUBLE and SINGLE PETUNIAS 
“Giants of California” 
( Shown in colors on opposite page) 
Henderson’s GIANT SINGLE PETUNIAS 
A strain of incomparable beauty and size. Most of the flowers are ex¬ 
quisitely ruffled or fringed on the edges, and all are of enormous dimensions, 
4 to 5 inches across, but their great merits lie in the tremendous variety of 
colors, shades and markings, in most beautiful combinations. Some colors 
are rich and gorgeous and others of lovely delicate shades.

CUSTOMER’S COLLECTIONS OF PETUNIA SEEDS. 
Henderson’s GIANT DOUBLE PETUNIAS 
These are as large as Hollyhocks; and very double. The edges are finely 
fringed, petals fluted and crinkled, intensifying and varying the colors with 
high lights and dark shadows, bringing out a richness and effect unmatched 
by crumpled velvet, which the flowers resemble. There is a variety of 
colors—seifs, blotched, veined, margined, etc.; in short, these Double 
Petunias are unsurpassed by any other strain in the world. 
NOTE.—This strain of Double-flowering Petunias do not produce seed. The 
pollen from the doubles is transferred to the chosen singles which produce the 
seed; in consequence only about one-third of the progeny will bt double-flowering 
plants, and these in the seedling stage are always the weaklings of the batch and 
are the ones to be coddled. Even the best double-flowering plants of these may 
only bear a single or semi-double flower at first. 
Brilliant Rose, No. 9. Lovely bright rose-pink. Pkt. 25c. 
Violet. Rich, velvety purplish-violet.. Pkt. 25c. 
Lady of the Lake, No. 8. Large, fringed, pure white. Pkt. 25c. 
Mixed Colors.25c. 
Customer’s Collection of Giant Double Petunias. Any three 25c. pkts. 
selected for 60c. 
DOUBLE SELF-SEEDING PETUNIAS 
This new strain is unique from the fact that the double flowers produce 
seed insuring a larger percentage of doublet-flowering plants (about 60 per 
cent.) than can be raised from singles artificially pollenized from double 
flowers which is necessary in producing all other Double Petunias from seed. 
The flowers of these Double Self-seeding Petunias are large — double — and 
include a variety of different colors. Pkt. 25c. 
BEDDING PETUNIAS 
LARGE SINGLE BLOTCHED AND STRIPED 
Bedding Petunias are almost indispensable for garden decoration. They 
flower in a few weeks’ time from seed and continue to grow, bud and bloom 
in luxuriance until frost. The strain of seed we herewith offer is our very 
finest selection from this type of Petunia, producing large, single flowers, 
blotched, striped, netted, etc., including all the Petunia colors; height, 
1 foot. 
Mixed Colors. Per 1,000 seeds, 25c. Pkt. oc. 
Snow Storm. Pure white flowers in greatest profusion; effective bedder.
