BLUE BROCADE 
Former Varieties 
ATTRACTION” 
Rich carmine rose and white, far much brighter 
colored than Victorious Gaiety. The combina- 
tion of rich carmine rose and white makes very 
sharp yet beautiful contrast. Individual flower 
isvery large, measuring 4 inches across, well dou- 
bled and fringed. Dwarf and bushy in habit and 
sturdy in growth. We counted in our trial during 
1940 only 3 small-flowering plants out of 85 
plants; one of the most valuable additions in all- 
double group. 100% double. Plant height 10 in_ 
“<LOVELINESS”? 
Everything else except color is identical to our 
Victorious Rosy-Carmine. According to “‘Ridge- 
way’ this is the nearest to the ‘‘La France 
Pink’’; a valuable color especially for florists. 
As a result of intensive breeding to purify the 
color, we are now able to supply our friends the 
more uniform strain than before. 100% double 
flowers 4 inches in diameter. Plant height 10 in. 
“PURE WHITE” 
Our effort in breeding a real pure white double 
Petunia is finally rewarded and are now able to 
supply to our customers a real superfine strain 
with good deal of confidence. This equals in 
dwarfness to our Victorious Rosy-Carmine. The 
large, substantial flowers are well fringed and of 
the purest white. Flowers 4 inches in diameter. 
*“GAIETY”’ 
Another big All-Double Fringed Victorious or 
dwarf type of Petunia in rose or light rose-red 
and white colorings. Early flowers were 3% to 4. 
inches across and quite double. Later flowers 
were mostly semi-double rose-red and white 
with frilled petals. 
“ROS Y-CARMINE IMP.’’ 
The main improvement, in our opinion is the 
uniformity of growth and, to some of our friends 
their brighter rose-color than the original may 
be appealing, as this new strain is a few shade 
brighter than the popular Rosy Carmine. We 
also have found in our Trial Ground that the 
white variegation sometimes appeared in our 
Rosy-Carmine has nearly been eliminated. As to 
the size of flower, doubleness as well as fringi- 
ness, this equals to the old one but excels it in 
the uniformity of growth and trueness of color. 
Plant height 10 inches; flowers 4 inches across. 


Newly Improved All-Double 
All Large Flowered Varieties 
*“ AMARANTH-RED”’ 
A dwarf, bushy plant similar to our Rosy Carmine in growth but with rich, 
amaranth-red color of large, well fringed form. If one takes this as double fringed 
form of Gottfried Michaelis, it will be the nearest description imaginable. Well 
liked by florists and gardeners. Extra dwarf flowers are 4 inches across. 
“BLUE BROCADE” 
Victorious or Dwarf All-Double, true violet blue variety. True to type and color, 
stocky growth, good bloomer of good sized flowers. New and rich color in giant 
fringed type, high percentage fully double flowers, of pleasing fragrance. For 
garden and commercial use. Plants 10 in. in height; flowers 314 to 4 inches across. 
““FANTASY” 
Conspicuously striped with rich, velvety violet blue and pure white; a unique 
combination of the two distinct colors. It has the same colors of popular Cocka- 
too or you may take it as the variegated form of our All-Double Blue Brocade. 
It is uniformly dwarf and compact, being sturdy in growth. The flowers which 
measure fully 34% inches across are borne in great profusion and come very true 
to description. A marvelous new strain which will sell at sight. Plant height 
10 inches. 
“PURPLE AND WHITE” 
“ORCHID BEAUTY” 
In hunt of real dwarf Victorious Orchid Beauty, we have gone through dozens of 
line selections and feel happy in introducing the real dwarf strain which is much 
dwarfer and more floriferous than the origin. In our trial, we counted about 25% 
beautiful silver lilac flowering plants. It has no noticeable vein or it has the same 
pleasing clear light blue color as found in our Giant Single Fringed Silver Lilac. 
The remaining 75% of plants have produced the color usually found in our Vic- 
torious Orchid Beauty, but with less tint of purple. Individual flower fully meas- 
ures 4 inches across with pleasing fringiness and good substance; height 10 inches.
