New Petunia “Fair Lady” (First Lady). See full color 
illustration front cover. This beautiful light silvery rose 
gained 61 points and a silver medal in the All America trials 
this season. It is a uniformly dwarf Hybrida, quite compact 
and exceptionally free flowering. Our trial of this the past 
summer was an outstanding attraction because of its choice, 
light rose color—an original one in dwarf bedding varieties.

90c; Vi oz., $1.50; 1 oz., $4.75.

the Gems unusually compact and fine for pot culture but hardly 
able to withstand our hot summers. Tr. pkt., 75c; VlG oz., 
$1.35; Vs oz., $2.50; Vi oz., $4.50. 
Dwarf Hybrida Formula Mixed. Mixed from above named 
varieties. Tr. pkt., 25c; Vi oz., 60c; 1 oz., $2.25. 
Dwarf Hybrida Ruffled 
Extra compact habit, even more so than the Dwarf Hybridas; 
flowers about same size l)ut nicely ruffled. 
Admiral. The most attractive of all the blue bedding petunias, 
because of its dwarf habit and choice shade of blue. Also flowers 
are nicely ruffled and almost large enuf to be classed as a Grandi- 
flora. The only true stock of this we have received is from Europe 
and it is not always true from there. If European stock is re¬ 
ceived it will be announced thru our trade paper ads. We offer 
a supply of California grown seed that we know has been severely 
rogued and that we believe will be fairly good. T.P. 50c, Vb 2 oz., 
$1.50; VlG oz., $2.50; Vs oz., $4.50. 
Betsy Ross (New). Of same extra compact habit and flower 
type as Martha Washington, but color a deep crimson red. 
Quite true and nice. Tr. pkt., 75c; V }2 oz., $1.75; Vg oz., $3.00. 
General Washington (New). Flowers a “rich velvety amaranth 
red with glistening reddish black throat” according to originator. 
Habit and flower shape same as others in this attractive series. 
Tr. pkt. $1.00; Vgi oz., $1.75; V32 oz., $3.00. 
Martha Washington. Of dwarf nicely rounded growth making 
it ideal for edging or bedding as well as of nice size. Slightly 
ruffled light blush pink with reddish veined throat. An excel¬ 
lent and distinct type. Tr. pkt., 50c; VlG oz., $1.50; Vs oz., $2.75. 
The Regular or Tall Hybridas 
This strong growing class makes fairly tall rather heavy ram¬ 
bling growth, although not as much so as the typical Balconies. 
Most varieties are as large or larger flowered than the Dwarf 
Hybridas. This low priced strong growing type is popular be¬ 
cause it is easily grown under unfavorable conditions. Although 
lacking in compact habit, it is largely used for bedding as well as 
combinations in porch boxes. 
Flaming Velvet. Rich velvety red. Comes quite true to this 
color, though a few crimson red rogues will appear. We prefer 
the Balcony Black Prince for this color. Tr. pkt., 35c; Vi oz., 
90c; 1 oz., $3.00. 
General Dodds. The ever popular strong rose red. Tr. pkt., 
25c; % oz., 40c; 1 oz., $1.50. 
Hollywood Star. Rather attractive rose with amber throat and 
of distinct star formation but with rather rambling growth. 
All America silver medal winner. Tr. pkt., 50c; Vs oz., 75c; 
14 oz., $1.40. 
* Howard’s Star Improved. Medium tall velvety crimson with 
white star. Highly attractive and popular for bedding. Our 
stock of this will come quite true to this starred type. Tr. pkt., 
35c; Vi oz., 90c; 1 oz., $3.00. 
Inimitable. Carmine-rose striped white. Small but very free 
flowering variety. Tr. pkt., 25c; % oz., 40c; 1 oz., $1.50. 
Lord Courtenay (Golden Rose). Very attractive variety. Deep 
rose with golden throat. We consider this most attractively 
colored and largest flowered Hybrida, valuable for any purpose. 
Tr. pkt., 25c; Vi oz., 50c; 1 oz., $1.85. 
Radiance (New). “Brilliant rich rose or cerise color with 
brownish yellow throat” is the originator’s description of this 
fine new hybrida. Tr. Pkt., 50c; % oz., $1.50; Vi oz., $2.75; 
1 oz., $10.00. 
*Topaz Rose. Fairly deep brilliant rose with golden throat. 
Growth not quite so tall as the typical Hybrida. We consider 
it most valuable variety in this group. Tr. pkt., 35c; Vi oz., 
$1.00; 1 oz., $3.75. 
White. The best clear white in this class. Tr. pkt., 25c; V oz., 
50c; 1 oz., $1.50.

flowered varieties predominating. Tr. pkt., 25c; Vi oz., 60c;
