Petunias 
Petunias are probably the most widely used flower in America today. We believe that our list 
is so carefully selected from our own plantings that it will give you the best varieties for all uses. 
We have also attempted to group them in order to eliminate confusion. 
Harris’ Paramount Giant Petunias flower early 
on small plants 
Giant Ruffled Petunias 
W3802—Paramount Giants, Mixed Colors. 
(Harris Grown.) An extra fine strain of our 
own growing especially selected for florists’

flowers are on low-growing compact plants 
that do not run up tall during the summer.

very small, making them exceptionally good 
for spring sales. The colors are selected for 
brightness and include a large percentage of 
red and white blotched.

All-Double Petunias 
From our experience these have proved’to 
be the only 100% All-Double Petunias. The 
varieties we are offering are all of the “Vic¬ 
torious" or Dwarf Fringed type, and we have 
selected the most desirable colors. 
Double Petunias make excellent 4 to 5 inch 
pot-plants for Easter and Mothers’ Day if the 
seed is planted in the early winter. They 
always sell well, either in flats or pots, „for 
spring bedding plants.
