Originated by us years ago. Compares favorably 
to “White Cloud” and “Snow Storm” as to its 
flower size, dwarfness, compactness, uniformtiy 
of pure white color and habit. 
PETUNIA SUPERBISSIMA FLUFFY RUFFLES 
(All hand pollinated under glass) 
This group, while flowers are as large as Giants of Cali- 
fornia is somewhat different in appearance. Is more deli- 
cate and far more well fringed and ruffled, often having 
the appearance of large double petunia. We have singled 
out a few very best out of several hundreds and thoroughly 
went through careful breeding. Now, we have confidence 
that our strains excel most seeds now obtainable on the 
market.

This beautiful colored Petunia is much improved 
in the uniformity of the rich color and the typecial 
fringiness has much added. The flower size is 
also improved.

Corresponds between Ridgway’s Tyrian Rose to

and with gigantic flower. A new and pleasing 
color in this valuable class. Color is well fringed.

A formula mixture of above 4 strains adding 
white and some more shades. This is a splendid 
mixture possessing characteristic fluffy fringiness 
as well as the gigantic size of flowers. 
PETUNIA EXTRA GIANT FRINGED STRAIN 
(All hand-pollinated under glass) 
This group covers extra dwarf giant fringed flowering 
strains commonly known as Erfurt Type. They are bushy 
and dwarf, seldom exceed 12 inches in height in their prime 
growth.

One of our Fl. Hybrid strains with vivid orange 
scarlet color and uniformity fixed as to its color, 
fringiness, size and dwarf growing habit, etc. We 
think this is the most striking colored Petunia 
ever introduced possessing all valuable qualities 
necessary for Giant Dwarf fringed strains. Has 
characteristic hybrid vigor.

Another Fl. Hybrid strain. Almost identical to 
the Sraclet Orange in general character. They 
are large flowered, well fringed and uniformly 
dwarf. The color is well fixed in its rich scarlet 
crimson, resembling the old “Queen of the Mar- 
ket” but far much larger flowered and with char- 
acteristic hybrid vigor.

Fl, Hybrid strain with Hybrid vigor. Almost 
similar to the other group in general habit, Le., 
dwarf and large flowered. The color is uniform- 
ally fixed in its brilliant rich rose, similar to our 
All Double Rosy Carmine. Highly recommended.

Well balanced mixture of all colors such as vivid 
salmon orange, scarlet, bright carmine, pink, 
velvety violet, rose and many intermediate colors

We think this is probably the most outstanding 
mixture in large-flowering Dwarf Fringed Petunia 
ever offered in the market. 



SAKATA’S ALL DOUBLE GIANT 
FRINGED DWARF VICTORIOUS 
ILLUMINATION: Developed from “Rosy-Carmine 
Improved,” being brighter colored and more uniform in 
its bright red color with scarlet sheen. The brightest red 
of all Victorious Petunias. Very large flowers of well 
fringed form. Exceptionally beautiful. Highly recom- 
mended for all-around purpose. Our very best as to color, 
plant habit and size of flower. 
MAYFLOWER: Our 1950 supply of Mayflower will be 
much improved over previous season. They are much 
more uniform in the soft, delicate rose color with deeper 
veining which gradually fades toward the outer edge. 
They are very large, well fringed with exquisite substance. 
Probably the best soft pink there is now. 
BRIGHT ORANGE: Color is closer to true orange 
than any other color in Petunias. During 1949 we im- 
proved our strain as to color, size of flower and fringiness. 
Also the number of semi-doubles has been greatly reduced. 
Bright Orange is now far superior to any previous intro- 
duction. 
PURPLE GLOW (1949 NOVELTY): Deep glowing 
purple with velvety Blue shade. The best true purple in 
Victorious group. The color corresponds to Ridgeways 
“Amethyst Violet” to “true purple” but with velvet-like 
glistening overlaid with shiny blue. Individual flower which 
is well fringed measures over 3% to 4 inches across. In 
our trial, not more than 20% showed small-flowered 
doubles, rest all gigantic fringed, perfect flowers. In early 
stage of growth, we found a very small percentage showed 
white variegation, but when the plants grew larger, no 
sign was found in the trial of nearly 70 plants; all of them 
were self-colored as above described. The habit of growth 
is uniformly dwarf. We can recommend this strain with 
a good deal of confidence. 
SILVER BLUE: A lovely color. Flowers are well 
fringed and of good substance. Noticeable veining is nearly 
eliminated from our new strain thus adding greatly to the 
delicacy of its color. Height is about 11 to 12 inches. 
Suitable for pot culture as well as for outdoor bedding and 
edging effect.

NEWLY IMPROVED VARIETIES 
ATTRACTION: Flowers are exquisitely fringed and 
fully 344 inches across. Color is rich bright rose with 
sharp, contrasting variegation of purest white. The strain 
is 100% double flowering. In our last trials 80 plants 
showed no Carnation flowering. All plants were remark- 
ably uniform in habit as well as bloom. Each plant seemed 
a duplicate of the other. Plant growers will find attraction 
sells itself, 
LOVELINESS: Flowers are large and their La France 
Pink color makes loveliness especially valuable to fforists. 
It is exceptionally uniform. Plant height is 10 inches. 
PURE WHITE: Our strain is almost 100% pure white 
with large fully double well fringed flowers. Plants grow 
to about 12 inches height which makes them the dwarfest 
All Double White bred to date. We also think it is the best. 
GAIETY: Flowers are 4 inches across. Color light rose- 
red with cheerful, variegated white markings. Early flowers 
are larger than those coming later in season. Extra dwarf 
and compact. The color sells freely. All America Hon- 
orable Mention, 1938. 
ROSY-CARMINE: Demand for this strain makes it our 
most important. Breeding is therefore very intense. Each 
year it is improved. Our 1949 crop was better and 1950 
will show still further marked improvement. Plants are 
well fixed in habit—about 10 inches tall. Flowers are of 
uniform color and remarkably true to type. 
THE VEIN: Flowers are 3% inches across. Color soft 
lavender ground veined purple. One of our older strains 
of nice, dwarf, compact habit. In 1948 trials, we found 
this to have same color as “Minuet” with only difference 
being ours is dwartfer in growth.
