Petunia Giants of 
California Bodger's Supreme Florist Strain (Bodger) 
O NE of the most striking sights on our Lompoc growing grounds this season 
has been a large planting of our remarkable new Giants of California 
Petunia Supreme Florist Strain. This has attracted the attention of more visitors 
than any other one field in the valley. Outstanding in its beautiful coloring, the 
flowers are in shades of pink, rose and salmon rose, all with light, richly veined 
throats, and many of them striped or combining two or more rose shades in 
one bloom. The blooms are unbelievably large, 5 to 7 inches in diameter, 
with shallow open throats surrounded by satiny petals which are so heavily 
ruffled that in the young flowers they are easily mistaken for doubles. As 
the flower fully matures, the petals fold back in a wider radius leaving the 
beautifully veined throat exposed. These huge, strikingly beautiful flowers 
are freely produced on strong growing, richly foliaged plants, which will be 
1V 2 to 2 feet tall by the end of the season, although the first flowers are produced 
when the plants are only 5 or 6 inches tall. As a subject for pot sale by the florist, 
this is an excellent strain since the first large flower is produced comparatively 
early before the plant makes any appreciable growth. It is an excellent bedding 
variety as well as a fine window box type. Dealers who have handled this strain 
declare they could not satisfy their particular clientele without it.
