New Ruffled Petunia, Garden Giants 
Giants of California Type 
The outstanding feature of this new variety is its satisfactory plant 
growth. The plants uniformly develop into well-rounded mounds 
12: to 15 inches high, and all season are thickly covered with large 
ruffled flowers in a wide variety of color combinations, basically 
with red and white blotching. 
Because of its uniformity and continuous blooming it is by far 
the best variety of Giant Ruffled Petunias for borders we have ever 
seen. We feel sure it will rapidly become more and more popular.

generally longer stemmed and last longer mto the spring than the

very resistant to hot weather. Seed sown last spring in early March, 
produced plants that bloomed until the middle of August.
