PETUNIAS for All Purposes 
A very useful and free-flowering annual, thriving on any soil and in the hottest weather. For a showy bed, or for porch or 
window boxes, few plants equal the Petunia, in effectiveness. Sow the seed in pots or flats in the house or hotbed in February 
or March, or in the garden as soon as the soil is warm. Cover the seed but slightly as it is very fine. 
Large Single Flowering Varieties 
666 SINGLE FRINGED DAINTY LADY. Not for many years 
has an entirely new color in Petunias been introduced to 
the gardening public. Various new shades of rose, pink, 
blue and crimson may be expected from season to season, but 
we now present for your critical approval a distinct new hue 
in the Petunia color cycle—delicate golden yellow. The 
Dainty Lady, the remarkable Petunia introduction is, to the 
best of our knowledge, the first really yellow Petunia. It has 
been in the process of development for the past ten years, 
gradually but surely deepening the color, until this season it 
is ready for presentation. The plants are neat, compact, semi¬ 
dwarf and free flowering, bearing generous quantities of the 
medium sized, delicately fringed light golden yellow flowers 
throughout the summer. You and your friends will be thrilled 
with this brand new Petunia color. Plant it in a border with 
Verbena Lavender Glory, or Ageratum Blue Ball, for good 
contrast of color. Fkt., 35c.
