Petunia, Blue Gem 
/^\Honorable Mention, 1938 All-America Selec-

haunting shade of deep velvety lilac-blue. They 
just about smother the compact, dwarf plants which

Petunia, Celestial Rose 
An exceptionally fine little Petunia is this free- 
flowering variety. Low, compact plants, hardly 
8 inches high, cover themselves all summer and fall 
with 2-inch flowers of lustrous rose, as clear and 
brilliant as a Petunia flower could be. Pkt. 50 cts. 
Petun ia grandiflora, Single Fringed, 
Dainty Lady

named. The lovely single flowers are elegantly

to the graceful flower. The plants are neat, compact, 
semi-dwarf, and bloom freely all season through.

Petunia, Hollywood Star 
.Silver Medal, 1939 All-America Selections. 
'This is one of the most delightful Petunias we 
have ever seen, having blooms of distinctly 
different form from any of those heretofore available. 
The flowers are about 2 inches in diameter, perfectly 
star-shaped, the end of each petal ending in a 
needle-like point, and as the color is a clear deep 
rose-pink, with an attractive white throat lined with 
brown, they make a beautiful bed, border, or win¬ 
dow-box decoration and will be found especially 
pleasing for decorative purposes. The plants are 
dwarf and never stop blooming until frost kills 
them. Pkt. 50 cts. 
Petunia, Flaming Velvet 
.Gold Medal, 1936 All-America Selections. The 
/plants are of medium size, about 15 inches in 
height, and very uniform. The large, single flow¬ 
ers are of an unusually rich shade of velvety wine- 
purple, a gorgeous coloring, indeed. Pkt. 35 cts. 
Petunia, Ladybird 
Ar^\Bronze Medal, 1939 All-America Selections. A 
V^;new variety of the dwarf, compact type. The 
plants literally cover themselves with good- 
sized flowers of rich deep rose, a color which looks 
especially well in the garden and is also adaptable 
for cut-flower purposes. It is unusually free bloom¬ 
ing and unfading. Pkt. 75 cts. 
Petunia, Velvet Ball
