Sittin’ Petunias 
COPYRIGHT S&S 
Petunias are one of the most effective of all annuals for solid massing in beds or in groups 
through the garden. They bloom profusely and continuously through the entire summer, with 
little or no care, doing best in full sun but growing well in some shade and poor soil. They 
give you a full range of color from the single bedding type with flowers about 2 inches across 
to the double and large single fringed varieties with giant 4- to 5-inch blooms. For early bloom, 
sow seed in the hotbed or greenhouse in February or March, or outside as soon as your soil 
can be spaded. 
Large-Flowered Single Petunias 
Beautifully ruffled and fringed giant blooms 
on spreading plants 12 to 18 inches high. This 
strain is recommended both for bedding, pots, 
window boxes and for cutting. The flowers are 
quite sweet scented, especially after they have 
been in water for a day. 
Superb Mixed Per packet 40c 
Compact Single Petunias 
The ideal type for edging or for low solid beds. 
Two- to three-inch blooms on dwarf plants grow-

plants are covered with bloom all summer. 
Varieties in this group should be used where neat 
compact plants are wanted.

Snowstorm Improved Per packet 40c 
Petunia Snowstorm Improved, since its intro=- 
duction, has proven to be the most popular 
pure white Petunia in existence. Of dwarf 
compact habit, the flowers attain a size of 
three inches in diameter with a delicate wave 
in the petals. Our improved strain of Snow- 
storm has been especially selected for its dwarf 
and free flowering habit and the seed is 100% 
true. Petunia Snowstorm lends itself espe- 
cially well for window box planting. 
Violet Gem Per packet 40c 
Honorable Mention, 1941 All-America Selec- 
tions. Violet Gem, like its predecessors in this 
class, is a true miniature in every respect. The 
plants are neat, dwarf and compact. The 
blooms are just the size you would expect to 
find on this type of plant, free blooming al- 
most to a fault, because throughout the sea- 
son the rich violet-blue blooms are so plentiful 
that they all but completely hide the dark 
green foliage. 
Cream Star Per packet 40c 
Silver Medal, 1940 All-America Selections. 
Plants have the finest dwarf, bushy habit ever 
seen in the Nana compacta group of Petunias. 
When full grown, they are 1 foot high, neatly 
rounded, and completely covered with flowers 
over the sides and top. Flowers grow 214 
inches across and are shaped like 
a five-pointed star; soft creamy 
white deepening toward the throat 
to a bright golden yellow. Ideally 
suited for low beds, borders, and 
edgings. 
First Lady Per packet 40c 
All-America Silver Medal. Beau- 
tiful blooms of light blush-pink 
(a rare hue) are 214 inches 
across. We recommend this new 
kind for bedding for two rea- 
sons: the color is excellent, 
while the compact  flower- 
covered plants have a uniform- 
ity in size and shape that will 
impart a touch of the skilled 
craftsman to your flower-bed. 
Height 1 foot. 
Glow Per packet 40c 
All-America Silver Medal 1940. 
Of all of the rosy type of bed- 
ding Petunias, Glow is most out= 
standing. The color, rather than 
fading in the hot sun, becomes 
intensifed and affords a splen- 
did contrast when® planted in 
combination with white, blue, 
or light pink Petunias.
