This variety is excellent for 
bedding as well as for front ‘ =

it will prove a very popular 
pot plant. The plants are uni- 
formly of a very dwarf growth 
with the foliage completely 
covered with ruffled blooms. 
The bicolor Petunias do not al- 
ways come true under varying 
soil and weather conditions.

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

1085. RADIANCE. H. A. The Petu- $ 
nia’ is probably the most popular and 
universally satisfactory flower grown by 
gardeners and profe onals today, and - 
more work has probably been done by 
plant breeders to improve Petunias * we 
than on any other flower. Radiance 
received a 1940 silver medal in the 4 
All-America awards. It is a rich, bril- ” 3 
liant cerise-rose with enough under- oe Ee . 
lying salmon to remove the harshness ae 
commonly found in a cerise-rose va- 
riety. The throat is a golden yellow 
below where the bloom starts to flare 
which adds much life to the Petunia. 
The plant is of the hybrida type, very 
uniform and neat in habits. It is de- 
cidedly free flowering throughout the 
season. The blooms measure 21/5 to 3 
inches in diameter. Pkt., 15c; 2 
pkts., 25c; 1% oz., $1.00; 1% oz.,
