New All Double Dwarf Victorious Petunia 
Novelties 
Orange. Flowers are just.as large as other Victorious strains, well 
doubled, and fringed, a good many are bright orange color, some 
are 1ighter shades. 
Master Cream. The same color as the single ‘‘Dainty Lady’’ and 
the nearest approach to the yellow in Petunia. Growth is dwarf 
and compact. The flowers are full double, large and well-fringed. 
Silver Blue. The soft shade of silver-blue identical to the Hybrida 
Silver Blue. We have developed this special strain out of ‘Orchid 
Beauty.” The flowers are well-fringed and large. The growth is 
dwarf and compact. This, we consider one of the noteworthy in- 
troductions. 
Mayflower. Conspicuously veined with bright carmine-red on white 
ground, some show lighter veins. Very unique, but beautiful col- 
oring. 
HWiumination. Developed from Rosy-Carmine Improved, being much 
brighter in color and more uniform in shading. We may term the 
color as bright red with scarlet sheen. We think this is the bright- 
est color of all Victorious Petunia. Very large flowers of well- 
fringed form which is exceptionally beautiful, the habit is dwarf 
and compact.

NOTICE: All Double Petunias are a highly bred type, and the 
seed is not as vigorous in growth as that of single strains. Seed 
of all our All Double Petunias has been carefully tested in soil, 
and the germination has been found to average 70 to 80 per cent. 
For this reason, and because of its high cost, we cannot entertain 
claims on non-germination of this seed, or requests for replace- 
ments. If carefully handled we know the seed will grow.
