Aavcs GIANT PETUNIAS 
Northern Grown for Vigor 

We grow our own petunia seed here at Moreton Farm and know that it is far superior to many stocks grown elsewhere. Whether if is grown in our greenhouses, where 
the blossoms are pollinatea by hand, or in the field, rigid supervision is observed from the time the seed is sown until the new crop of seed is cleaned and packaged.

Ruffled Types 
Ruffled Giants 
3802—Harris’ Paramount. 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. 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.

Harris’ Salmon Beauty 
3808—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 yellow, beautifully veined. The color is 
a brilliant clear salmon pink and is the only 
ruffled variety of this same beautiful color.

ered, ruffled petunia. The background is a

open throat is very heavily veined with a deep 
royal-purple. Very effective as a cut flower.

“My ruffled petunias, salmon and giant ruffled are so 
breathtakingly beautiful. I had no idea there were such 
huge wonderful petunias. The bedding petunias are also 
very lovely. Petunias get covered with frost here in the 
country and don’t mind it at all. Your seeds turn out so 
much better than others I have tried.”

POPPIES 
Annual Varieties 
We have seen so many poppies in country door 
yards this summer that we feel this gay old time 
favorite must be getting “stylish” again. Cer- 
tainly it is easy to grow; and requires little care. 
Seed may be sown in early spring or in the fall. 
3900—Harris’ Eldorado Mixture. An especially 
fine mixture containing double, semi-double 
and single flowers. Many of the flowers are 
ruffled and in delightful shades of pink, 
salmon, rose and scarlet.

more satisfactory. Long and graceful stems
