New and Beautiful Petunias 
For a Riot of Color from Early Summer Until Frost 
1569 DWARF DOUBLE ADORABLE. This 
wonderful new Petunia is the result of many years 
of patient work in bringing it to the ideal that has 
now been achieved. The plants are dwarf, branch¬ 
ing from the base when only an inch or two high, 
forming a broad low growing plant which produces 
an abundance of fully double frilled light La 
France pink blooms. Adorable, is we believe, the 
finest double Petunia we have ever had the pleasure 
of offering our garden friends. For bedding it is 
unexcelled, as a pot or urn plant it gives wonder¬ 
ful effects, and as a cut-flower it is most satisfac¬ 
tory. Adorable, blooms early and continues until 
frost. Pkt. 50c. 
1581 SUPER FLUFFY RUFFLES. A Petunia so 
heavily ruffled and fringed that it has the appear¬ 
ance of being double flowered. Flowers are very 
large, with large bright throat and almost 100% 
true to type. A fine color mixture of pink, salmon, 
rose, crimson, light blue and white, and many 
intermediates. Pkt. 25c, 
See Fluffy Ruffles in Color on Front Page. 
1583-E BURGUNDY. An All-America Selection. 
This new Petunia is a deep Burgundy-red and has 
a rich, velvety sheen. Its white throat is veined in 
purplish-red which adds greatly to its desirability. 
Petals about 314 inches, five lobed and neither 
fringed nor ruffled. Pkt. 2©c.

10 inches in height, making a shapely ball form

flowers. The color is a clear blue with violet shade,

each individual flower. This Nana Compacta

The color of Betsy Ross is red and white, with the 
white blending to golden and the red deepening to 
a rich red in the throat. The blooms are 2 J4 inches 
in diameter and are well ruffled with a good open 
throat. The brilliant and startling color combi¬ 
nation of red and white, gives the individual plant 
- as well as a group of plants a very gay effect, es¬ 
pecially so because the plants are so uniform and 
compact and so completely covered with the 
ruffled blooms. Betsy Ross is perfect for beddmg 
and a splendid variety for pot plants. Pkt. 25C. 
4 621-F ROSE CREPE I)E CHENE MINIA¬

fled and the plants are dwarf and compact and 
are very floriferous. Rose Crepe de Chine will 
make a fine addition to your garden and its 
lovely color will thrill you. Pkt. 15c.
