MICHELL’S PETUNIAS 
No other flower has achieved more popularity. The Petunia is a plant that can be 
attractively used in an endless number of ways. New and charming colors and forms 
add to the interest of these indispensable garden flowers. They thrive in various climatic 
conditions and can be used in a perennial border, or in a rock-garden; they also effectively 
combine with other garden flowers, and a garden entirely of Petunias is a delightful picture. 
For freedom of bloom, variety of color, and effectiveness, the Petunia has few equals for 
the flower garden, porch or window-box. They commence blooming early and continue until 
killed by frost. We call special attention to our Large-Flowering Strains, which for size 
and brilliancy of coloring cannot be surpassed.
