A.B.C. Petunias in all their Glor 
Largest Collection of Double Petunias Ever Offered 
NEW DOUBLE VARIETIES IMPORTED FOR 1948 
MAYFLOWER—Conspicuously veined with bright carmine red on 
white ground, some show lighter vein. Very unique, but beautiful 
color. Flowers are large and well fringed. One of the worthy new 
additions to the Victorious Petunias. 
MASTER CREAM—Double-flowering form of the Single ‘Dainty 
Lady.” So far the nearest approach to the yellow. Dwarf and com- 
pact growth with large fringed flowers. 
SILVER BLUE—It has been extremely difficult to develop clear blue, 
double Petunia without vein. It took us many years before we could 
establish it. This is all double type of the popular ‘Dwarf Erfurt 
Silver Lilac.” The flowers are well fringed and large, just as large 
as the other Victorious strain of our introduction. 
ORANGE—Flowers are just as large as other Victorious Strain, well 
doubled and fringed. Majority are bright orange color, with some 
lighter colored. A truly fine novelty. 
ILLUMINATION—Developed from '’Rosy-Carmine Improved,” being 
brighter colored and more uniform in its bright red color with scarlet 
sheen. The brightest of all Victorious Petunias. Very large flowers 
of well fringed form. Exceptionally beautiful. Highly recommended 
for all-around purpose. Our very best as to color, plant habit and 
size of flower.
