Harris’ Famous Potted 
Annual Plants 
For years we have been working to produce large husky potted 
annual flowers which could be shipped successfully. It was a problem 
of the proper soil mixture, pots which allowed a maximum growth 
without being too heavy and a ventilated carton which would de- 
liver these plants to you in perfect condition. All of these problems 
have been solved with the result that we can now ship you the finest 
plants available from any source. 
Bedding Petunia Plants 
GYPSY- Harris’ new hybrid with buds of bright scarlet unfolding to 
a warm burnished scarlet-salmon. Plants are uniformly dwarf and 
compact and bloom profusely.

silvery-pink. Large flowers and husky plants about a foot high.
