flowers. The color seems distinct. A row of outer guard petals is sur- 
mounted by a fully double crest of Dixie Sunshine type petals or minia- 
ture flowers. Trade pkt., 40c; 14 oz., 75¢ 
Marigold, Mission Giants, Yellowstone

Petunias, Michell’s Exclusive 
Introductions 
ADORABLE, DWARF FRINGED LACE VEIL TYPE. As the name implies, 
this is really an adorable Petunia. The flowers are of medium size, 
beautifully fringed, and the color is a pleasing shade of rose-pink 
with white, delicately veined throats. Habit is very dwarf and com- 
pact. This type is also free flowering. An excellent item for pot- 
work and a sort that will be popular with the ladies.

BEAUTY, NEW DWARF SUPER-GIANT RUFFLED. Here we have a 
Petunia that is really a beauty. The flowers are quite large with deep, 
well-fluted and veined throats, and the color is a bright clear salmon, 
a shade that will always please. The habit of the plant is dwarf and 
compact; very early and free flowering. We believe this to be the 
best large-flowered salmon Petunia in existence. :

Petunia, Igloo 
Bronze Medal 1943 All-America Selections

size, pure white, with a slight yellow throat, and coming 100 per cent 
true. The plants are uniformly compact throughout the season, and 
continue to flower until frost. The plant is a perfect mound of white, 
8 to 10 inches in height, reminding one of an Eskimo igloo. This variety 
is ideal for borders, also splendid for pots.

Petunia, English Violet 
Honorable Mention 1943 All-America Selections 
A new and most pleasing shade of violet-blue Petunia, different 
from any other of the mid-blue varieties. It is almost the same 
beautiful color as English Violets. Very important, it will hold this 
uniform color throughout the season. The plants grow normally 15 
inches high, quite compact, and we believe the best mid-blue dwarf 
bedding Petunia yet introduced.
