*jl PETUNIAS <J n OutLc* 
FOR A RIOT OF COLOR ALL SUMMER 
Petunias are unquestionably the most popular of all flowers, and 
rightly so. They will give you more color in your garden and thrive 
under more adverse conditions than any other flower. 
Even if your soil and situation are not ideal for growing good 
flowers, Petunias can be depended upon to make a good showing. 
Single Flowered Bedding Petunias as offered on tins page are the most colorful 
and the easiest to grow. All the varieties on this page can be sown outdoors by the 
middle of May if the soil is well prepared. They may also be started indoors in March 
or April. 
Be sure to ask for our leaflet “Making Seeds Grow.” It’s free with every order. 
Tall Growing 
THE NEW KING PETUNIAS 
Unsurpassed for uniformity of colors and growth of plants, besides being the easiest 
Petunias to grow. 
The plants are tall, vigorous growing and unusually free-flowering. The flowers are 
large and in brilliant colors, starting to bloom early and continuing until after frosts. 
The general type is similar to the well-known “Balcony” Petunias, but we consider 
them superior and at lower prices. 
3830— Special Formula Mixture. Here is a mixture of these splendid Petunias made 
up of the named varieties, but scientifically proportioned to give you the most bril¬ 
liant and colorful display with none of the common old dull violet shades. 
Pkt. 10c; Lg. Pkt. 20c; M Oz. 50c; Oz. $1.50. 
3831— White King. Glistening pure white. 
3832— Rose King (Improved). Brilliant silvery bright clear pink.

Low Growing 
SINGLE BEDDING PETUNIAS 
This class of Petunias is more universally grown than any flower in exist¬ 
ence. They produce an endless abundance of blooms and are practically 
immune to pests and diseases, and withstand unfavorable weather condi¬ 
tions better than any other flower. They make neat compact plants about 
8 to 12 inches high. 
3805— Variety Mixture. (Extra Special 5-color Mixture). This is a spe¬ 
cial mixture we make using an equal amount of only the five bright 
colors; Celestial Bose, Snowball, Dark Purple, Topaz, Heavenly Blue. 
This gives you a well-balanced color display and plants all of the same 
habit of growth. This is the finest Bedding Petunia Mixture ever offered.
