New Petunia 
"HOLLYWOOD STAR" 
Awarded Silver Medal, "All-America Seed Council" 
This is a distinctive novelty with five- 
pointed star-shaped flowers of rose-pink 
with creamy yellow throats. The leaves are 
narrow and elongated. ''Hollywood Star" 
is early and free blooming, and the plant 
is strong and vigorous and so smothered 
in bloom that hardly any foliage shows. 
This is truly an attractive Petunia novelty 
and should prove popular for pots, boxes, 
cutting, and even for bedding. There is 
nothing else like it in the Petunia family.

The "De Luxe" of Purple Petunias— 
A. B. C. IMPROVED "ELK'S PRIDE" 
The most outstanding of all purple Petunias for pots, boxes, bedding, etc., 
"A. B. C. Improved Elk's Pride" is of upright growth and unusually free 
flowering. The color is a brilliant royal purple, with flowers of good size. 
This valuable strain (Bountiful Strain) is produced under glass and hand- 
pollinated and consequently comes quite true from seed. We have supplied 
"Elk's Pride" to the trade for the past ten years, and our growers invariably 
repeat their purchases of this excellent variety from year to year.

TWO NEW DOUBLE FLOWERED PETUNIAS 
That Created Somewhat of a Sensation in the East This Past Season 
(Supplied in plants only) 
New Double Pink Petunia "Still Pond." "Still Pond" is of great size, flowers being up to 
5 inches in diameter, and is very double and fringed. It is of dwarf habit, very free 
flowering, and is equally good for planting out or grown as a pot plant. 
New Double White Petunia, "Mrs. Wm. K. du Pont Supreme." This variety is a sport of 
the 1938 introduction, "Mrs. Wm. K. du Pont." "Supreme" is of equal size, more double 
and beautifully fringed. We consider this definitely a worth-while variety.

"SALMON SUPREME" 
A color long wanted in Petunias. The flowers, when first opening, are of a rich coral-salmon, 
changing as they mature to a glistening soft salmon-pink. They grow 2 inches across and are 
deeply five-lobed. We have placed it in the hybrida nana compacta group, although the plants 
are perhaps somewhat more spreading. They have a uniform height of about 1 foot and a spread 
of about IV 2 feet. Profuse branching, unusually floriferous. Tr. Pkt.75c
