Henderson’s Giant Double Petunias 
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, and 
are brilliantly effective massed in beds or 
borders. 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, cherry, pink, crimson, 
white, purple, rose, etc.; height, l foot. 
Mixed Colors, per 1,000seeds, 50c.; Pkt. 10c.

main boldly expanded, and in their profusion

for garden beds, borders and edgings, and 
also beautiful subjects grown in pots.

Henderson’s GIANT SINGLE PETUNIAS. 
A strain of incomparable beauty, size and luxuriance. Most of the flowers are exquisitely 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 combinations; some with charming deep throat of yellow, white, black, green or maroon, 
running off into intricate veins. Some of the colors are rich and gorgeous and others 
f lovely delicate shades. ^
