Single Large - Flowering Dwarf Fringed and 
Raffled Mixed — The Single Petunia De Luxe 
Produced under glass by that eminent florist-grower, Mr. Ernst 
Eriksson, of Riverside, Illinois (originator of Primula Malacoides 
Erikssoni), this improved strain of hand-pollinated large flower¬ 
ing dwarf Petunias is in our estimation the choicest and finest 
of this type available. It is excellent for pot plants, porch and 
window boxes, and for bedding. This strain is as profitable as 
it is beautiful. Tr. Pkt. (1,000 seeds).$1.25
