COLOSSAL SHADES OF ROSE 
All-America Silver Medal Winner 
2466 Colossal Shades of Rose is the first giant 
alldouble petunia ever created in America and

flowers growing over 5 in. across. All are fully 
double, varying in form from those with crisply 
fringed petals to those with nicely ruffled ones. 
This variation in flower form adds interest to 
a planting as does the difference in color, which 
ranges from salmony pink through rose-pink to 
deep, rich, rosy mauve—a most attractive blend- 
ing of rose shades. Plants are strong growing, 
20 in. high, spreading as much as 3 ft. across 
and bearing their immense alldouble blooms in 
the greatest profusion. Valuable for beds, bor- 
ders, window boxes and unexcelled for cutting.
