Salmon Supreme Petunia 
Single Low-growing 
BEDDING PETUNIAS 
This is the most popular class of Petunias 
for outdoor bedding and are the leaders for 
plant sales in pots and flats. 
Petunias being one of our specialties, we 
make every possible effort to offer only the best 
possible strains of the most desirable colors, 
testing them carefully for growth and color. 
W3826—CELESTIAL ROSE. The finest all-purpose 
bright pink. A more attractive shade and more com¬ 
pact growing than Rose of Heaven. A clear pink 
without the large white throat of Rosy Morn. This is 
the most compact and uniform growing strain. 
Lg. Pkt. 25c; y Oz. 50c; y Oz. 85c; Oz. $3.00. 
W3827—HEAVENLY BLUE, Improved. This is the 
light blue so much in demand for plants but generally 
very variable in color. This year we are finally able to 
offer a much improved strain. In the field, the color 
was true clear light-blue and the plants uniformly 
low and compact. We sincerely believe this is far 
superior to any other Heavenly Blue on the market. 
Lg. Pkt. 35c; y Oz. 65c; y Oz. $1.20; Oz. $4.00. 
W3828—HEAVENLY BLUE. Ordinary Strain, as 
generally offered. Lg. Pkt. 25c; y Oz. 35c; y Oz. 60c;

stock, more compact growing and a deep velvety dark 
blue-purple. As low growing as Celestial Rose.

growth and of the same compact habit as Celestial 
Rose. Most white Bedding Petunias offered are much 
taller and show pink markings. Lg. Pkt. 25c; y Oz. 
45c; y Oz. 75c; Oz. $2.50.
