SAKATA’S NEWEST INTRODUCTIONS 
ILLUMINATION (Picture Below) Developed from “Rosy-Carmine Improved,” being darker 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 recommended for 
all-around purpose. Our very best as to color, plant habit and size of flower. 
MAYFLOWER Our 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. 
ORANGE (Salmon) This is nearest to Orange in petu- 
nia. Finding in our 1949 trial that our strain is not quite 
















as good as should be, we made strenous efforts to improve 
it and found our new strain has much bettered as to the 
eveness and dwarfness of plant, flower size, fringiness 
as well as to the richness of color. We have also found 
our new strain to have less small flowering doubles than 
others. 
PURPLE GLOW The color corresponds to Ridge- 
way’s “Amethyst Violet” to “true purple” but with 
velvet-like glistening overlaid with shiny blue. Individual 
flower which is well fringed measures over 3 !/» inches 
across. The plants are dwarf and compact. 
SILVER BLUE Color silver blue to lovely lavender 
with large well fringed flowers of good substance. The 
noticeable veining so common in Petunias are nearly 
eliminated, thus adding the delicacy of color. Height 
is slightly taller than Rosy Carmine. Suitable for pot 
and for outdoors. Highly recommended for its fascinating 
color. 
SAKATA'S 
DWARF VICTORIOUS ILLUMINATION 
Sakata’s 
NEWLY IMPROVED VARIETIES 
ATTRACTION Flowers are exquisitely fringed and fully 31/2 inches across. Color is rich bright rose 
with sharp contrasting variegation of purest white. The strain is 100% double flower. In our last 
trial of 80 plants we could not find any inferior doubles. All plants were remarkably uniform in habit 
and 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 florists. It is exceptionally uniform. Plant height is 10 inches. 
PURE WHITE Our strain is almost 100 % pure white with large, fully doubled, well fringed flowers. 
The plants are slightly taller than the others. We think our Pure White is the purest Double White 
sold on the market.
