GRAND RAPIDS GROWERS, Inc., Grand Ropids, Michigan 
Petunias a, 
For freedom of bloom, variety of color and effec¬ 
tiveness these have no equal. If only a little care is 
bestowed upon them, they will produce their hand¬ 
some, sweet-scented flowers in their delicate and gor¬ 
geous colors throughout the whole summer and bloom 
profusely until killed by hard frosts. 
The Petunia loves a rich soil and thrives best in a 
sunny location. Pinch back freely. This causes the 
plants to branch out and spread, shading the ground, 
thereby helping to conserve the moisture. Keep the 
faded flowers clipped. 
Single Giant Flowering Varieties 
The flowers of this strain average five to seven 
inches across and are wonderful.

large and the colors embrace every conceivable 
shade of crimson, white, violet, lavend*>r, etc.

Triumph of the Giants. The finest strain of single 
large-flowering Petunias; the flowers often meas¬ 
ure seven inches across; some of its colors cannot 
be found in any other mixture and nearly all the 
flowers are veined in contrasting colors. Pkt., 250 
seeds, 35c. 
Balcony or Trailing. (15 in.). To droop over the edge 
of a window box or to overhang a terrace, these are

Double Large Flowering Varieties 
Mixture of Double Petunias. This is a mixture 
of the best large flowering and fringed double 
Petunias. Seed is saved from plants grown in 
pots, carefully pollenized and will produce grand 
flowers. Of course, every one knows only a cer¬ 
tain percentage of double flowers may be expected 
from seed, but our mixture will produce from 20 
to 30 per cent of doubles, while the remainder will 
be choice, large single flowers. The weaker seed¬ 
lings should be carefully saved, as those invariably 
produce the finest double flowers. Pkt., 200 seeds, 
50c. 
Special Mixture of Dwarf Small Flowering Varieties
