A. B.C. Leaders for 1950 
PETUNIA FIRE CHIEF—-OUR FRONT COVER SUBJECT 
(BODGER) 
Striking, isn't it? The All American Selection judges thought so, too, and awarded Fire Chief more points than any selection 
has been given in the history of these trials, and the first A.A.S. Gold Medal in eleven years. 
This outstanding color, described as firecracker red by Bodger, is a real plant breeding achievement. In addition, flowers 
of velvety texture are 2' to 3 inches across with color deepening toward the throat. Plants are dwarf and compact, about 
12 to 15 inches high. Easily grown, Fire Chief wil] yield a wealth of blooms through the driest, hottest weather. 
Publicity will be concentrated on Fire Chief, the one winner for 1950, through newspaper, magazine and radio garden 
editors. Everyone will be asking for it. Profit from this publicity by offering plants in flats or bands for spring planting. 
We have made special arrangements so that we can supply you with all the seed you want.

HYBRID PETUNIAS 
(WEDDLE) 
Three years of greenhouse and pot trials have proven the value of this new class 
of Petunias. They are definitely more vigorous than their inbred relatives and yet 
are dwarf and compact. 
BOLERO 
Bright rose deeply fringed flowers. Plants are of extra dwarf, very uniform habit. 
Very vigorous and more free flowering than the standard dwarf fringed varieties. 
Showy in pots or beds. 
TANGO, > 
Scarlet red in the bud opening to deep salmon-red. Very dwarf, compact plants of 
strong growth and very free blooming. A new color in petunias, which is brighter 
and has larger flowers than Carmencita. Like Bolero, it is excellent for pot plants 
and bedding.
