TWO OUTSTANDING 
~~~" NEW DWARF RUFFLED PETUNIA 
Garden Giants 
The outstanding feature of this new variety is its satisfactory 
plant growth. The plants uniformly develop into wellrounded 
mounds 12 to 15 inches high. They start flowering when extremely 
small and continue their gorgeous display all through the summer, 
holding their size and ruffling even under the adverse conditions 
of heat and dryness. 











Because of its uniformity and continuous blooming, it is by far 
the best variety of Giant Ruffled Petunias for borders we have 
ever seen. The mixture includes a wide variety of bright color

PETUNIAS FOR 1948 
PETUNIA HYBRIDA NANA COMPACTA 
Glowing Rose 
The intense brilliance of this new Petunia makes it the most 
startling of all the dwarf bedding varieties. 
The individual flowers are much larger than Celestial Rose and 
of an even shade that, with us, held its intense color right up 
until the last flowers. The plants are of the same well-rounded 
mound shape as Celestial Rose and of an unusual uniformity, at 
no time becoming unshapely. 
Another advantage is its earliness and long season of bloom. 
Planted at the same time with the other Nana Compacta varieties, 
it started flowering at least one month earlier and remained in 
full bloom as long as the later kinds. This makes it even more 
desirable for both home garden use and as a bedding plant for
