PETUNIAS 
Petunias grow well in any ordinary 
garden soil where they will receive plenty 
of sunlight. Their ease of culture and ex- 
eeptionally free-flowering habits make 
them favorites everywhere for flower beds, 
flower boxes and garden display. The 
brililant colors are particularly effective 
in mass plantings 

Double 
Canadian Mixture—This is a mixture of one of the best strains of All-Double Petunias, 
and contains the following colors: rose, pink, salmon, white, and mauve. Though 
not heavily fringed, the flowers are nicely ruffled, growing to a size of over 4 inches. 
The vigorous plants are dwarf and free-branching. Assorted colors only. 
Colossal Shades of Rose—The largest double Petunia, many flowers attaining a diameter 
of 5 inches. They may be fringed, plain-edged or ruffled. Colors range from sal- 
mony pink through rose pink to deep, rich, rosy mauve. Free-branching—a plant 
may spread up to 3 feet across.

Rulfled and Fringed 
Dwarf Giants of California (Ramona Strain)—Very vigorous in growth, making these 
plants especially suitable for bedding. Artistically veined, open-throated flowers 
ranging in color from velvety crimson to delicate pink. The deeply ruffled flowers 
often develop to as much as 7 inches in diameter. 
White Queen—Extra large, wavy pure white flowers and dwarf compact growth make 
this a truly outstanding Petunia. Fine for bedding. . 
Theodosia Improved—Extra large, heavily fringed flowers of brilliant glowing rose with 
contrasting golden yellow throat. A vigorous growing Petunia, making it ex- 
cellent for bedding. 
Elk’s Purple—Rich velvety purple, smooth-edged flowers of this variety get to be almost 
as large as those of the Giant Ruffled. The large lobes of each flower form a five- 
pointed star.
