^^Flower Seeds for Florists” 
PETUNIAS—Continued 
Other Double Strains 
Double Perfection. (Benary). In our trials of the past two seasons, 
we find this to be a duplexed, heavily fringed Giant type. 75% full 
double effect with a good mixture of colors. Because of a more dwarf, re¬ 
stricted growth than the All-Doubles, this should be used only for specimen 
pot plant work. Tr. pkt., $2.00. 
Double Rosy Morn (Carnation flowered). Small bright rose; not over 
40% double. Should be propagated thru cuttings from selected plants. 
Tr. pkt. (1000 seeds), $1.00; oz., $1.75; %2 oz., $3.00. 
The California Giants 
The largest flowered Petunia—true Giants. Available in a uniformly and 
quite dwarf strain which is our well known Ball Dwarf Giants No. 1. 
Also in a medium dwarf and the original tall California Giants as well 
as in a number of excellent colors. Most widely used for 3-4 in. pots is 
our Dwarf Giant No. 1 strain that comes fully 90% true dwarf giant. Our 
No. 2 stock is nearly as good. Don’t miss their value for pots. The tall 
Giants are of stronger growth and generally hold up well for outdoor bedding. 
*No. 1—Ball Dwarf Giants. In our trial grounds, we annually line out 
a row of every Dwarf Giant strain offered. We have yet to find one 
that equals our No. 1 Mixture for uniform dwarfness and high percentage 
of giant flowers. Colors largely on dark side. 
Y2 tr. pkt., 75c; tr. pkt., $1.25; %4 oz., $2.25; oz., $4.00; Yiq oz., 
$7.00. 
No. 2—Dwarf Giants—Ramona Strain. While not quite so uniformly 
fine as our No. 1 stock, this will be found a very excellent strain of 
Dwarf Giants. 
V2 tr. pkt., 60c; tr. pkt., $1.00; %4 oz., $1.75; Y32 oz., $2.75; Ylq oz., 
$5.00. 
No. 6—Dwarf Giants—Eriksson Strain. Originator’s seed. Produced 
by a well-known Chicago pot plant grower. 
Tr. pkt., $1.25; %2 oz., $4.00. 
No. 3—California Giants. Medium Dwarf combines its fairly 
dwarf habit with a fairly strong growth. 
Tr. pkt., 75c; %4 oz., $1.50; %2 oz., $2.50; Yxq oz., $4.50. 
* California Giants No. 5 Mixture. Supreme Florists’ Strain.

colors not usually found in this class; uniformly large flowered. 
Tr. pkt., $1.00; %4 oz., $1.50; %2 oz., $2.50; Yl6 oz., $4.50. 
Ball Dwarf Giants No. 1. Most uniformly large-flowered 
dwarf strain of this valuable pot plant class of Petunias. 
erally valuable for bedding and largely used as pot plants. The 
Grandifloras are divided into three classes; the Regular Dwarf 
Fringed, the Dwarf Fringed, known as Dwarf Erfurts, and the 
Ruflled class. We are certain that our list of Grandifloras in¬ 
cludes every worth while variety available.

The Grandifloras 
In many respects, a most attractive class. Medium size flowers 
freely produced with compact or dwarf, fairly strong growth are 
Grandiflora characteristics. A few varieties are comparatively weak 
in growth and such are noted. All are fringed or ruffled. Gen- 
JVew and better varieties are incre 
A comparatively new type that is characterized by uniformly 
compact growth and beautifully fringed flowers. While not quite 
so strong in growth as the regular or some taller Grandifloras, 
the Dwarf Erfurts are ideal for bedding under fairly favorable 
growing conditions. All varieties make extra choice pot plants. 
Ball Silver Lilac. (New). An outstanding fringed Grandi¬ 
flora with Dwarf Erfurt habit—practically 100% true dwarf. 
The color is a lilac blue about the general color of dwarf hybrida 
Heavenly Blue. Comes 65-70% true to color. The uniformly 
dwarf habit of Ball Silver Lilac makes it particularly attractive 
as a pot plant. See Novelty List, page for further descrip¬ 
tion. Pkts. only, 75c.

this class. We supply originator’s stock of Setting Sun that 
will not produce over 10 to 15% off types. Tr. pkt., 50c; %4 
oz., $1.50; %2 oz., $2.50.
