Gloxinia-flowered 
Petunia 
Strawberry Festival 
Illustrated in color on front cover 
An entirely new type of Petunia in 
which are combined some of the 
most desirable features of the Giant 
Ruffled and Balcony classes. While 
the flowers possess a form resem¬ 
bling that of the Giant Ruffled 
Petunias, having a wide throat and 
artistically waved margins, they com¬ 
pare in size with the Balcony Pe¬ 
tunias, being to 3 in. across. 
Like the Balcony Petunias, these 
flowers are borne in great profusion 
on large, spreading plants, which 
average 1 Yi ft. in height and 3 ft. 
across. The shape of the flowers, 
with their broad throats and wavy 
edges, resembles a Gloxinia. The 
color is about half-way between 
crushed strawberry and old rose. 
Radiating out of the rich plum col¬ 
ored throat are many deep crimson, 
much-branched veins. Long stems, 
artistic flowers and attractive foli¬ 
age all combine to make Strawberry 
Festival the finest of all Petunias for 
cutting. As easy to grow as any Bed¬ 
ding Petunia. Pkt. 10^; 3 pkts. 25^; 
Vi 28 oz. 50j2f; %2 oz. $1.75.
