PETUNIA ALLDOUBLE AMERICA 
5520 This is the first Alldouble Pe- 
tunia produced in America. The at- 
tractive fully double flowers are of 
medium size, about 2 inches across, 
of a sparkling rose-pink color with 
deeper underlying netting. The flow- 
ers are borne profusely and when 
the plants are in full bloom, the 
healthy mid green foliage is hardly 
seen. 
The plants are very compact, uniform 
in growth, branching somewhat erect 
and tight, the plants being about a 
foot high and 18 inches across. 
Though the dwarfness of the plant 
makes it well adapted for pot cul- 
ture, it is also splendid for cutting, 
stems up to 10 inches makes it suitable 
for low vases. Alldouble America will 
make especially attractive long bor- 
ders keeping in bloom from early 
summer to frost. Pkt. 50c. 
ENGLISH VIOLET PETUNIA 
5705 This new Petunia is a new and 
pleasing shade of rosy mauve-violet, 
almost the same beautiful shade as 
English Violets. All the medium sized 
flowers are the same true color and 
the plant also is uniform in type, 15- 
18 inches high, with the same habit 
of growth as Snowball and Rosy Morn.
