GROWERS OF “MERIT” FLOWER SEEDS 
Petunia Super Fluffy Ruffles Mixed 
PETUNIA SUPER FLUFFY RUFFLES MIXED. There is often a story 
back of the introduction of a new or improved flower. A number of years ago 
it was brought to our attention that the original strain of Fluffy Ruffles 
originated by Mrs. Shepherd was lost and that the strain then being sold was 
inferior in ruffles and frills. It was a mixture of Hybrida Grandiflora Fimbriata, 
while the original Shepherd’s Strain was a selected strain more ruffled and 
frilled. The original strain was gone beyond recovery so we got to work to get 
the ruffles and frills back. Our work was successful beyond our expectations 
and we are able to offer a real Super Fluffy Ruffles so ruffled and frilled that 
the flowers have the appearance of being double and the strain is far superior 
to the original. The type is practically 100% true. The flowers are very large 
with a large throat. It is a well balanced mixture of Pink and White, Salmon, 
Salmon Pink, Deep Rose, Rose, Crimson and Light Blue. But the outstanding 
beauty is the loveliest frills and ruffles imaginable.
