We have personally inspected in the seed fields every lot we offer. 
^Celestial Rose Imp. Our improved strain is distinctly superior to the original 
Celestial Rose because of its more dwarf and compact growth, slightly larger 
flower and deeper color. It is practically 100% true to type and color and we 
unhesitatingly recommend it as a most excellent pot plant strain. Tr. pkt., 
40c; Vs oz., $1.50; Va oz., $2.50; 1 oz., $8.00. 
Celestial Rose. The most popular bedding plant Petunia strain. Color a rich

75c; Va oz., $1.25; 1 oz., $4.00; 2 ozs., $7.00.

the habit of Fair Lady is still very suitable for pots. Makes a very compact 
bushy specimen. Color a clear silvery pink. Much lighter than Celestial Rose.

$1.25; A oz., $2.25; Vs oz., $4.00.
