PETUNIAS—Continued 
Ruffled Grandifloras 
Of greater size and more vigorous growth 
than other Grandiflora varieties. For this rea- 
son the Ruffled Grandifloras are especially well 
suited to bedding as well as pot plants. 
*Elk’s Pride Dwarf 
Altho not an extra dwarf variety, this strain 
is considerably dwarfer than the original Elk’s 
Pride. Heads our list of best sellers in this 
Ruffled class because of its fine violet-purple 
color, free flowering habit and vigorous growth 
that combine to make it a first class out-door 
bedding variety. Ours is a very uniform strain 
and we unhesitatingly recommend it for a large- 
flowered purple Petunia. Tr. pkt., 50c; 444 02., 
$1.00; hn» OZ., $1.75; V6 OZ., $3.25. 
*White Queen 
A distinctly dwarf and compact growing va- 
riety producing large, ruffled pure white flow- 
ers. Its compact growth makes it a fine pot 
plant variety; fine also for outdoor bedding 
with a vigorous and free flowering growth that produces 
a continuous show of large white flowers thruout the 
summer. We unhesitatingly recommend White Queen 
to any florist selling spring bedding plants who has trade 
calling for a larger-flowered and finer white bedding 
Petunia than the smaller flowered Dwarf Hybrida white 
varieties. Its vigorous growth produces flowers continu- 
ously even in more difficult climates. The finest all- 
around white Petunia we know of. Tr. pkt., 75c; 4%4 0z., 
$1.75; 145 0z., $3.00; 46 oz., $5.00. 
* White Cloud 
An effective all-purpose dwarf white with nicely ruf- 
fled flowers. Particularly well-liked for pot work be- 
cause of compact growth. Very similar to Snowstorm 
and White Queen but not quite as large flowered. Tr. pkt., 
90c; 44 02z., $1.00; Io oz., $1.75; 46 oz., $3.00.
