BEDDING PETUNIA. 
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 such luxuriance until killed by frost, and are so brilliantly effective, whether 
massed in beds, borders or grown as individuals, that they are deservedly popular. 
The strain of seed we herewith offer is our very finest selection from this type 
of Petunia, producing large, single flowers, hieroglyphically blotched, striped, 
flecked, spotted, netted, veined, starred, etc., including all the Petunia colors, 
cherry, pink, crimson, white, purple, rose, etc.; height, 1 foot.

Henderson’s Giant Single Petunias 
A strain of incomparable beauty, size and luxuriance. Most of the flowers are ex¬ 
quisitely ruffled or fringed on the edges, and are of enormous dimensions (4 to 5 
inches across), but their great merits lie in the tremendous variety of colors, 
markings, veinings, blotches and stripings, in the most grotesque and beautiful com¬ 
binations; some with charming deep throats of yellow, white, black, green or maroon, 
running off into intricate veins. Some of the colors are rich and gorgeous and 
others of lovely delicate shades. (See cut.)

" Ixist year I got seeds of your Giant Single Petunias. Some of the flowers meas¬ 
ured 6 inches across, and were the admiration and wonder of our little city.” 
D. FILSON, Steubenville, Ohio. 
Henderson’s Giant Double Petunias 
are as large as Hollyhocks ; as double as double can be, with edges 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.
