PETUNIA 
Victorious ALL-DOUBLE Dwarf Giant Fringed 
NOTE: When transplanting Double Petunias, it is advisable not to discard the smaller and weaker seedlings, as these usually produce the 
finest double flowers. 
Amaranth-Red 
Four-inch flowers on plants only 10 inches high, the color a 
rich shade of amaranth-red. Deeper and richer than "WORLD 
BEAUTY", one of the best items for pots. 
Apple Blossom (Daintiness) 
The bushy little plants make about 1 foot of height and are 
generous with 4-inch blooms of dainty apple-blossom pink. 
Gaiety 
Another 10-inch plant with 3Vz to 4-inch flowers of light rose- 
red and white, a delightful combination. The frilling of the petals 
of this variety is especially pleasing. 
Loveliness 
Four-inch blooms on 10-inch plants which work cheerfully. 
The color this time is, according to Ridgway, very close to true 
La-France-pink, the color florists, estate and private garden trade 
want. This strain is very uniform. 
Orchid Beauty 
Orchid shade cr light lilac, heavily veined and fringed. 
Pure White (Snowball) 
Extra dwarf flowers, well fringed of the purest snow-white. 
Purple (Purple Robe) 
These plants sometimes reach a height of 1 foot and bear 4-inch 
flowers of dark velvety purple, an effective Petunia color. 
World Beauty 
Immense fringed-flowers of bright rosy-carmine. A 
popular variety for pots carrying flowers fully 4 in. 
across on extra dwarf plants (barely 10 inches). 
Victorious, All-Double Dwarf 
Mixed Colors 
A splendid mixture of all the gorgeous colors of 
this exceptional strain. Large flowers exquisitely ruf¬ 
fled and fringed. Ideal for pots.
