FIRE CHIEF PETUNIA 
ALL AMERICAN GOLD MEDAL WINNER 
FIRE CHIEF is the reddest petunia you 
have ever seen—a new color in the dwarf 
growing class—a color possessing none of the 
harsh magenta tones under-lying so many 
other petunias. 
The rich, velvety red flowers deepen 
somewhat toward the throat, thus adding to 
their beauty. They are nicely rounded and 
grow about 2, inches across. 
Plants are typical of the dwarf, compact, 
erect type; they reach a height of about 1 ft. 
in ordinary, good garden soil. If soil is too 
rich, plants will grow taller. Each plant is 
well-branched and covered with blooms from 
early summer until frost. Seeds may be sown 
directly outdoors when soil has become warm, 
For earliest blooms, start the seeds indoors in 
pots, seed-pans or shallow boxes about six 
weeks before your usual outdoor planting 
time. 
Fire Chief is very vigorous, free flower- 
ing, easy to grow in any sunny location, most 
colorful and striking in beds, borders, edgings, 
window boxes and pots, Lovely for cut-flower 
purposes. See back cover.
