All Double Dwarf “‘Victorious’’ Strain 
A strain of dwarf Petunias that gives practically 100% double flowers 
from seed, something every Florist has been looking for. Flowers are 
large ruffled and fringed in a splendid range of color. A dwarf com- 
pact grower, making it ideal for pots as well as for bedding. Due to the 
shutting off of imports from Japan, the seed we offer below is of 1940 
crop. However, recent germination tests show that same is satisfac- 
tory, but of course under the circumstances, we cannot entertain any 
complaints on germination.

PETUNIA FRINGED 
Giants of California 
Supreme Florist Strain 
For some years there has been a demand for this type of Petunia in 
a color range comprising the lighter rose and pink shades, and we 
feel that it will be a welcome addition to the large Florist type. It is 
of the well known Giants of California type, with very large ruffled, 
shallow, open throated flowers, freely produced on strong growing 
plants which may be as much as two feet tall by the end of the sea- 
son. It is an excellent bedding variety as well as a fine window 
box type.

Glamour 
A luscious shade of salmon rose, delicately veined brown in the 
creamy open shallow throat. The blooms are extremely large, 5 to 6 
inches in diameter, with a shallow open throat surrounded by satiny 
petals which are heavily ruffled. The huge strikingly beautiful flowers 
are freely produced on strong growing richly foliaged plants which 
will be 1% ft. to 2 ft. tall by the end of the season, although the first 
flowers are produced when the plants are only 5 inches to 6 inches tall.
