HARRIS GIANT PETUNIAS 
Reiffled Types 
Harris Paramount Ruffled Giants 
3802—The flowers are the largest we have ever 
seen, with wide-open, well-veined throats, 
and the edges of the flowers beautifully waved 
and fringed. 
One of the most outstanding features of our 
Paramount Ruffled Giants is that the plants 
will stay low-growing, even during our hottest 
summer weather. This is a real advantage 
over any other strain of Giant Ruffled Petunias 
we have been able to discover.

A New Giant Ruffled 
3811— Quaker Lady. An unusually attractive 
color of giant flowered, ruffled petunia. The 
background is a beautiful soft shade of rosy- 
lilac, tinting to an almost pure white at the 
edges, while the wide-open throat is very 
heavily veined witha deep royal-purple. Very 
effective as a cut flower.

A Giant Ruffled Salmon 
3808—Harris’ Salmon Beauty. A new giant 
ruffled petunia we know you will like. The 
flowers are immense, well ruffled and frilled, 
with large open throats of bright golden yel- 
low, beautifully veined. The color is a brilliant 
clear salmon pink and is the only ruffled 
variety of this same beautiful color. The 
plants are vigorous and are sure to be admired 
wherever they are planted.

Wauved Types 
Harris’ New Royalty 
3809—Of all the petunias we have grown, we 
consider this new 1941 introduction of our 
own as ‘‘tops’’ for anyone’s garden. The colors 
vary from almost pure white to deep velvety 
violet-blue, the complete range frequently 
appearing on one plant. The flowers are im- 
mense, well waved, and of a very velvety 
texture. Imagine a border, bed, or window 
box of these entrancing petunias. Cut as 
many bouquets as you like; the plants thrive 
on it.

Harris Giant Snowstorm 
3814—Here is a new mammoth white to act as 
a foil to Purple or Black Prince and other 
large flowering varieties. Although the plants 
are lower growing than the other two, the 
flowers are immense and waved. Growing in 
our field, the plants were well covered all 
summer with the mammoth glistening pure 
white flowers.

Quaker Lady Petunia is appealingly demure. 
Harris’ Purple Prince 
3816—At Last—We again have what you have 
been looking for—A new petunia of deep 
velvety blue-purple. 
We are exceedingly proud of being the ones 
to develop the largest and deepest purple 
petunia we have ever seen. The flowers, which 
are freely borne on vigorous plants, are well 
waved. Many of the flowers are almost as 
big and ruffled as our Paramount Ruffled 
Giants. Don’t confuse this with any other 
petunia of similar name.

“Again I want to compliment you on the high 
germination of your seeds. I planted a package 
of large ruffled Petunias and they came up thickly, 
while I have often planted them from other growers 
without a single seed germinating.

Hand pollinating of petunias is carried on in our green- 
houses all through the summer. 
Fringed Types 
Giant Double Petunias

consider the best strain of American grown

they do average a good percentage of large 
double flowers on tall vigorous plants.

Note. When transplanting seedlings, use only the 
smallest plants. The earlier, larger seedlings will 
be smaller flowered and may be single.

tifully frilled, with large open yellow throats.

of bright salmon.

sized and in a delightful range of colors from 
white to bright carmine-pink with many 
striped and blotched. The plants are very 
upright growing and crowded with flowers.
