Petunia, Supreme California Giants 
1100. SUPREME CALIFORNIA 
GIANTS, MIXED. H. A. For 
size and outstanding color, this 
strain of Petunia is supreme. The flowers are 
in shades of pink, rose, and salmon-rose; all 
with light richly veined throats and many of 
them striped and combining two or more rose 
shades in one bloom. The blooms are unbeliev- 
ably large, five to seven inches in diameter, with 
shallow open throats surrounded by satiny petals 
which are so heavily ruffled that in the young 
flowers they are easily mistaken for doubles. As 
the flower fully matures, the petals fold back in 
a wider radius leaving the beautiful veined throat 
exposed. Flowers are freely produced on 11/2 to 
2-foot plants. Flowers begin when the plants 
are only five to six inches tall. Especially fine 
for pots or window boxes. Start seed in flats or 
window boxes. Pkt., 25c; 2 pkts., 45c; 1/32 
oz., $1.90; 1/16 oz., $3.65; 14% oz., $7.00. 
1328. THE CLOWN. 
He As An amusing 
new Zinnia cheer- 
fully striped scarlet and gold. Blooms are two and 
one-half to three inches in size, and because of the 
very free flowering character of the plant, it is 
excellent for cutting and colorful in the garden. 
The 21/.-foot plants branch freely and bloom pro- 
fusely. The more you cut the more they will pro- 
duce. As with most striped flowers, some varia- 
tion will be found and approximately eighty to 
eighty-five per cent will come true striped scarlet 
and gold. Pkt., 10c; 2 pkts., 15c; 14 oz., 50c; 
1 oz., 90c. 
859. DOUBLE BUSH 
FLOWERING TORCH. 
H. A. While Bush 
Flowering Balsams are not recent novelties, they 
are not well known in this country and so to the 
American gardeners they are actually novelties. 
They differ from the tall growing Balsams in that 
the flowers are on the tip of the stems, making a 
showing of color rather than foliage. The plants 
are 10 to 15 inches high, compact and covered 
with double flowers. The variety, Torch, is a pene- 
trating vermillion red and the showiest of this 
type. Ideal for edging plants, rock gardens and 
window boxes. Be sure to include Torch in your 
flower garden. Pkt., 15c; 2 pkts., 25c; %%g oz., 
50c; 14 oz., 9Oc; 1/2 0oz., $1.60; oz., $3.00.
