HARRIS’ GIANT PETUNIAS 
Ruffled Types 


All of Harris’ Giant petunias are pollinated by hand for 
a seed crop. Each year the color range in 
Paramount Ruffled is improved. 
Royal Purple 
3816—Harris’ Purple Prince. 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.

All Double Pink 
All-America Silver Medal Winner 
3772—All Double America. The first really 
double petunia developed in America. Flowers 
are rose pink, of medium size, 2 in. or more 
across. Plants are dwarf and bushy, with the 
flowers above the rich clean foliage. Plant 
some of these and be the envy of the good 
gardeners in your neighborhood. 
Pkt. (100 seeds) 50c. 
The Best Fringed Pink Petunia 
3813—Theodosia. The flowers are large, beau- 
tifully frilled, with large open yellow throats. 
The color is uniformly a most attractive shade 
of bright salmon.

“T want to tell you that last year I had splendid 
results with your petunia seeds. Had petunias up to 
514 inches from your Paramount Giants in spite 
of a very dry season.” 
Charles S. Randall, Trevose, Pa.-2/25/44 
Very Dwarf Mixed Colors 
3802—Harris’ Paramount. The flowers are the 
largest we have ever seen, with wide-open, 
Pelvenes throats, and the edges of the 
owers beautifully waved and fringed. 
Colors range from very soft pinkish lavender 
to deep rosy purple. 
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. 
Pkt. (100 seeds) 25c; 500 seeds 80c; 1000 
seeds $1.30. 

“We have been especially thrilled with the four 
orchid-like flowers produced from the plants of 
Giant Ruffled Petunias we had. So much like 
orchids were they, that used in corsages and worn in 
the hair, everyone remarked about them. It is inter- 
esting to see how, after having been worn for 12 
hours and wilting completely, after being placed in 
water in the ice-box, they perked up like new, and 
this was done for five consecutive days with the 
same results.”

An Enormous White 
3814—Harris’ Giant Snowstorm. 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 grow- 
ing than the other two, the flowers are im- 
mense and waved. Growing in our field, the 
plants were well covered all summer with the 
mammoth glistening pure white flowers.

The double petunia, America, is especially effective 
because of the uniformly dwarf bushy growth.

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.

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 with a deep royal-purple. Very 
effective as a cut flower.

Giant Snowstorm 
A New Fringed Petunia 
3817—The Art. For a long time we have been 
searching for a strain of fringed or lace-edged 
petunias we could enthusiastically recom- 
mend. Now we have it. The flowers are good 
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.

Very Dwarf and Fringed 
3819—Setting Sun. Dwarf compact plants 
producing large fringed blossoms of rose pink 
with a deeper throat. You will want some of 
these because the 3 in. blossoms on neat bushy 
plants are among the finest of all large flowering 
petunias.

“IT planted some of your petunia seeds along with another 
well known seed house's petunia under the same conditions 
in my greenhouse and got only seven petunias from theirs 
and about a hundred from yours so feel that I will use 
Harris’ seed from now on.””
