IGLOO. Bronze Medal, All-America Selections. This new extra- 
compact white Petunia produces flowers of medium size, pure 
white, with a slight yellow throat, and coming 100% true. The 
plants are uniformly compact throughout the season, and con- 
tinue 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. 
Trade pkt. 75c; 1420z. $1.50; ;;0z. $2.75; Voz. $5.00 
ENGLISH VIOLET. Honorable Mention, All-America Selec- 
tions. 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 and, 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. 
Trade pkt. 50c; 14202. 90c; 14,402. $1.65; Voz. $3.00 




NOTIC E. Double Petunias are a highly bred type, and the 
seed is not as vigorous in growth as that of single strains. Seed 
of all our Double Petunias has been carefully tested in soil, 
September, 1943, and the germination has been found to average 
70 to 80 per cent. For this reason, and because of its high cost, 
we cannot ertertain claims on non-germination of this seed, or 
requests for replacements. If carefully handled we know the seed 
will grow.
