Selected Seeds 
PETUNIA, Fluffy Ruffles Mixture. Like 
great frills of lace, in an outstanding 
light color mixture. As with doubles, 
(below, right) the white, pink and rose 
pink colors are mostly variegated, 
though some come in straight colors. 
One of. the most delightfully intriguing 
petunia mixtures of all. 
pkt. 35c; 3 pkts. 75c 
PETUNIA, Giant Single Type. 
New Mammoth Ruffled Mixture. 
Never have we seen bigger, more 
breath-taking petunias than the tre¬ 
mendous ones produced from this out¬ 
standing mixture of ruffled varieties 
—and again, as with the other petunias, 
we have secured a selection that con¬ 
tains practically all attractive light 
colors, i. e. — fine pinks, coppery pinks, 
variegated pink and whites, rose-pinks, 
etc., are present in the mammoth ruf¬ 
fled mixture, and in addition, it has 
other slightly deeper colors — but none 
come on the very dark or magenta 
types. The colors are ideal for garden 
use — light and airy, but with a few 
medium colors to lend “body” to its 
color range. 
Flowers are produced in less than 
four months from the time sown, and 
run from 5 to 7 inches in diameter. 
Excellent for bedding, and ideal for 
window boxes. 
pkt. 50c; extra large pkt. $1.00 
Snowstorm, Improved. Our choice as 
easily the finest white petunia. Clear 
glistening satiny white with blooms 
4 to 5 inches in diameter. Its unusual 
freedom of bloom, combined with the 
fact that it is of even growth, 12 to 
15 inches tall, make it just as out¬ 
standing for bedding as it is as a prize 
or specimen plant. We cannot recom¬ 
mend this fine improved variety too 
highly. (Plain edged).

“PETUNIA YEAR” 
Most outstanding of anything we 
found in our seed-farm visits of 
this year were the new petunias— 
for we found among the new re¬ 
leases petunias that were just what 
we had been looking for for years. 
They give us, at last, light colors 
in Mammoth Ruffled, All-Doubles, 
and the Fluffy Ruffled single type. 
Habit and size have been greatly 
improved in these petunias, too— 
as is true in the case of the new 
All Double strain, and the satiny 
white giant single. 
All in all, we feel that these new 
petunias are so many times more 
important to the garden than ever 
before — that we feel that 1939 is 
definitely a “petunia year.” 
PETUNIA — All Double World Beauty. 
An outstanding mixture in an all¬ 
double petunia. White, pink, rose- 
pink, some in straight colors, but most 
are beautifully variegated. pkt. 50c 
PETUNIA, Small Bedding Type. Plants 
of uniform height. Simply covered 
with flowers, making them among the 
finest types of all for solid bedding 
masses of color. Also fine for win¬ 
dow-boxes. 
Blue Wonder. Clear bright deep 
blue of better color and habit than any 
other blue variety. A full mass of 
blue color that does not fade in the 
sun, and which is blue, not silver, on 
the reverse — thus presenting a solid 
blue effect. 
pkt. 15c; 1/32 oz. 40c 
Dwarf Flaming Velvet. (Velvet Ball). 
A selection from the original Flaming 
Velvet that carries the same rich color 
in a much more compact plant. Rich 
dark velvety red. Bronze Medal, 1939 
All-America Selections. 12 inches. 
pkt. 25c 
Flaming Velvet. Improved. Larger 
blooms and 100% true to color — and 
generally improved over the 1936 Gold 
Medal winner. Rich dark velvety red. 
Most attractive.pkt. 25c; 3 pkts. 60c

creamy throat. Silver Medal, 1939

Crimson. Rich crimson, full flower 
heads. Very showy. 
pkt. 25c; 3 pkts. 60c 
Sunrise. Light La France pink, with 
deeper eye. Free bloomer. With its 
most delicate color, Sunrise ranks 
among the top-notch bedding plants. 
pkt. 15c; 3 pkts. 35c; 1/8 oz. 60c; 
1/4 oz. $1.00 
PHLOX GIGANTEA — 12 to 15 inches. 
Salmon Glory. A soft, beautiful 
color selected from the outstanding 
gigantea type. Actually softer, of a 
slightly lighter pink than the “Salmon” 
than its name would imply. A well de¬ 
served Silver Medal winner, 1939 All- 
America Seed Selections.pkt. 25c 
Art Shades Mixture. A new strain 
of phlox drummondi with blooms well 
over one inch in diameter, in a soft 
. range of colors, as salmon, appleblos- 
som, light blue, mauve, rose, etc., each 
with white or cream eye. Winner of 
Award of Merit, 1935 All-American Se¬ 
lections. Worth an unqualified recom¬ 
mendation on the basis of size or the 
attractive color range alone. Ranks 
as a standout when both of these points 
are considered. 
pkt. 15c; 3 pkts. 30c; 1/8 oz. 50c; 
1/4 oz. 90c 
“The Dwarf Phlox Sunrise which you 
sent gratis with my last year’s order 
called forth more comment than nearly 
any other annual grown. Many thanks 
for the extra seed you are so generous 
with.” — E. C., Illinois.
