PETUNIAS 
Balcony Type—Mixed 
PETUNIAS—4. 8 to 18 inches. Start in flats 
early spring. Mix seed with a teaspoon- 
ful of sand and sow very thinly in boxes 
of finely screened light loam and barely 
cover the seeds. Plant in a sunny place 
as they are drought resistant. The single 
varieties in solid colors give the gayest 
masses. The giant ruffled and the double 
are the more interesting in the garden 
or in pots. The heavy ugly colors have 
been bred out of all types. Seeds of the 
double varieties do not all produce dou- 
bles and the weaker seedlings often bear 
the finest double flowers.

Dwarf Elk’s Pride —A new and superior 
strain that is a real dwarf. Richer violet-

Dwarf Giants of California Mixed — New 
mammoth mixture. No one thing at the 
California seed farms gave us as big a 
thrill as a view of a block of these mag- 
nificent mammoth ruffled petunias in 
full bloom. Plants literally covered with 
blooms of immense size—beautifully ruf- 
fled—and in most pleasing shades of 
light pink, coppery pink, variegated 
pink, and soft rose pink. No heavy ma- 
genta colors. We grew a small test plot 
in our own garden. This has been the 
subject of much favorable comment and 
admiration, by our many visitors. Flow- 
ers produced in less than four months 
from time seed was sown. Blooms from 
5 to 7 inches, excellent for bedding, 
window boxes and pots................ Pkt. 50c

better color and habit than any other

presenting a solid blue effect.
