ALL DOUBLE 
PETUNIAS 
To produce fine 5 in. flowering pot plants 
for next Easter, (April 25) sow early Oc- 
tober and grow cool near the glass. When 
well grown such plants sell for $1.00-$1.50. 
Nothing in pot plants is choicer. Good 4's 
are produced from a December sowing. All 
the seed we offer is germinating well. This 
seed is scarce and the cost to us has been 
doubled. Under these conditions we cannot 
entertain germination complaints. Main- 
taining the seed bed uniformly moist in a 
temperature of 65-70° until the seed Sprouts 
is the all important point. 
Note: Because of scarcity of seed, all the following varieties 
(except the Mixtures) are offered Only in Trade Packets 
and Half Packets. 
Prices on Following “All Double Varieties’’ (except Mixture) : 
VY Tr. pkt., (containing approximately 500 seeds) $1.50; 
Tr. pkt., (containing approximately 1000 seeds) $2.50. 



*Brilliancy. For pot plant work, an improved Pink Perfection 
—much more compact growth and a deeper, more brilliant 
color. Prefer stronger growth of Pink Perfection for out- 
door bedding work. 

Pink Perfection (World Beauty). The most valuable of the 
All Double varieties. Habit quite dwarf and compact; color 
a bright deep rose. 
Blue Brocade. Elk’s Pride purple color with quite compact 
growth; a little later flowering than most other All Double 
varieties. 
Snowball. Clear white, growth only medium dwarf. Very free 
flowering. 
Gaiety. Of fine compact growth for pot plant work. Color a 
Pink Perfection rose with white blotches. 
PETUNIA 
BALL DWARF 
GIANT NO. 1 
Growers are antici- 
pating a heavy de- 
mand for Spring pot 
plant material. The 
large flowers in a 
wide range of col- 
ors, mostly on the 
dark side, has made 
the Petunia, Ball 
Dwarf Giant No. 1, 
a very popular 
item, especially 
when you consider 
that it is also 85- 
90% uniformly 
dwarf in habit of 
growth. The plant 
pictured to the left 
is an unretouched 
photo of a specimen 
picked at random in 
our benches last 
Spring. 


Far as we have noted, this is the season’s best bed of Petunias—AIll- 
Double Brilliancy with All-Double Snowball partly showing. This class is 
more valuable for bedding than many weaker growing single kinds. The 
hedge is Kochia Childsi edged with Celosia Dwarf Fiery Feather. 
Attraction. Of the same restricted, compact growth as Brilli- 
ancy and with a rose white blotched, Gaiety color type. Pre- 
fer this for pot specimen work and Gaiety for outdoor bedding. 
Appleblossom. A very compact, fully double type in a light, 
Appleblossom Pink. A very good variety for either outdoors 
or as pot plants where this color is wanted. 
Loveliness. Medium in growth and color varies between Apple- 
blossom and Pink Perfection. 
Amaranth Red. Medium in growth; color a deep amaranth or 
magenta-red. 
Orchid Beauty. A medium to light lilac with darker veins. 
Habit somewhat tall and stringy. 
Victorious Mixed. Because of scarcity of seed of individual 
varieties, we are unable to offer a Formula Mixture this year. 
We have a good supply of this regular mixture, however, and 
can offer seed at the following prices: V2 Tr. pkt., (contain- 
ing about 500 seeds) $1.50; Tr. pkt., (containing about 
1000 seeds) $2.50; ox oz., $9.50; 3 oz., $18.00. 
DWARF GIANT 
PETUNIAS 
*“No. 1. Ball Dwarf Giants. Ours is an unexcelled strain for pot 
plant specimen work. This popular strain originated in 
Europe and has since been considerably reselected and im- 
proved by our American breeders with a much wider and 
more brilliant color range and a greater percentage of true 
“Giant’’ flowers on extra dwarf and compact growth—85 to 
90% being excellent specimen plants. Our supply of seed is
