Harris Grown BEDDING PETUNIA 
Single Low-growing BEDDING PETUNIAS All Harris Grown 
This is the most popular class of Petunias 
for outdoor bedding and are the leaders for 
plant sales in pots and flats. 
Petunias being one of our specialties, we 
make every possible effort to offer only the 
best strains of the most desirable colors, 
testing them carefully for growth and color. 
In order to assure you of better and more 
dependable Petunias we increased our seed- 
growing acreage to include the very important 
four leading colors of low-growing single 
Petunias. This makes it possible for you to 
sell plants with full confidence you will be 
making pleased customers. 
W3826—CELESTIAL ROSE. The finest all-purpose 
bright pink. A more attractive shade and more com- 
pact growing than Rose of Heaven. A clear pink 
without the large white throat of Rosy Morn. This is 
the most compact and uniform growing strain. 
Lg. Pkt. 25c; 4% Oz. 55c; 14 Oz. 85c; Oz. $2.80. 
W3827—HEAVENLY BLUE Improved. This is the 
light blue so much in demand for plants but generally 
very variable in color. We are finally able to produce 
a much improved strain. In the field, the color was 
100% true clear, light-blue and the plants uniformly 
low and compact. 
Lg. Pkt. 35c; % Oz. 65c; 14 Oz. $1.00; Oz. $3.50. 
W3825—DARK PURPLE. A very much improved 
stock, more compact growing and a deep velvety dark 
blue-purple. As low growing as Celestial Rose. 
Lg. Pkt. 25c; 4% Oz. 45c; 14 Oz. 75c; Oz. $2.50. 
W3821—SNOWBALL. A new white, more uniform in 
growth and of the same compact habit as Celestial 
Rose. Most white Petunias offered are much taller. 
Lg. Pkt. 25c; 4 Oz. 45c; 14 Oz. 75c; Oz. $2.50. 
W3823—ROSY MORN. An unusually good strain of 
the ever-popular white-throated pink for bedding, 
boxes, etc. The flowers were larger and the plants 
remained uniformly low growing even during the 
extremely hot weather. 
Lg. Pkt. 25c; 144 Oz. 45c; 14 Oz. 75c; Oz. $2.50. 
W3829—ELEANOR BLUE (Harris Grown). It has 
taken us four years to get this desirable mid-blue 
back into production. The color is a pleasing shade of 
deep lilac, different from the other mid-blues, and 
more desirable. The plants are semi-dwarf, but un- 
usually uniform in height and color. 
Lg. Pkt. 25c; 4% Oz. 45c; 14 Oz. 75c; Oz. $2.50. 
W3842—FIRST LADY (Harris Grown). A new very 
beautiful clear salmon-pink on dwarf upright growing 
plants. Also called ‘‘Fair Lady.’’ The most pleasing 
shade of pink ever seen in any Petunia, and sure to 
become the most popular. Seed still very scarce. 
Lg. Pkt. 40c; +; Oz. $1.00; 14 Oz. $1.75; 14 Oz. $3.00. 
W3844—CREAM STAR. We consider this the best 
white bedding Petunia ever introduced. The plants 
are uniformly compact and do not get “‘leggy.’’ All 
summer they are a perfect mound of large creamy- 
white flowers. All of your customers will repeat on 
this one. 
Lg. Pkt. 25c; 4% Oz. 55c; 14 Oz. 85c; Oz. $2.80. 
W3836—HARRIS’ BLACK PRINCE. An improved 
strain of our own growing. A dwarf ‘‘Flaming Velvet”’ 
similar to ‘‘Velvet Ball.’’ The color is the darkest red 
it is possible to imagine, while the plants are uniform- 
ly compact growing. We found it to be one of the best 
selling Petunias in the spring plant trade. 
Lg. Pkt. 40c; 14 Oz. $1.00; 14 Oz. $1.75; Oz. $6.00. 
W3843—GLOW (Harris Grown). Low growing, large 
flowered, and the brightest light scarlet of all Petunias. 
This strain of our own growing is the most uniform 
we have ever seen. 
Lg. Pkt. 40c; 35 Oz. $1.00; 14 Oz. $1.75; 14 Oz. $3.00. 
A Better Mixture 
W3840—HARRIS’ SPECIAL FOUR-COLOR MIX- 
TURE. Here is an unusually fine mixture especially 
made up for particular buyers. We make this mixture 
from the same fresh, new-crop seed described above, 
using carefully balanced proportions of Celestial Rose 
Snowball, Dark Purple and Heavenly Blue.
