Use them in window boxes, interplant 
them in perennial beds or use them for 
In our extensive trial grounds we have

Petunias growing in our gardens. 
WAVED GIANTS 
Harris’ Purple Prince 
3816—It took years of good breeding to pro- 
duce this enormous ruffled petunia of a deep 
rich velvety purple. Plants are very sturdy

mer.

Harris’ Giant Snowstorm

edges. By far the best large white petunia 
available anywhere. Plants are covered with 
glistening white bloom all summer. Plant Giant 
Snowstorm with Purple Prince, Royalty or 
Black Prince and have an effect that will be 
most gratifying.

FRINGED GIANTS 
Carmencita 
3805—Here is a really new color in petunias 
that immediately captivates everyone who sees 
it. Difficult to describe so “‘scarlet-salmon’’ will 
have to suffice. There is not the slightest trace 
of “‘lavender’’ in this as in so many salmon pink 
petunias. Blooms are large and deeply fringed; 
plants fairly dwarf. 
Pkt. (200 seeds) 50c; 500 seeds 90c. 
The Art 
3817—A strain of fringed or lace-edged petu- 
nias we can enthusiastically recommend. The 
flowers are of good size and in a delightful 
range of colors from white to bright carmine- 
pink with many striped and blotched. 
Pkt. (200 seeds) 25c; 500 seeds 50c; 
1000 seeds 90c; 1é, Oz. $1.75. 
RUFFLED GIANTS 
Paramount Ruffled 
3802—Herris’ Paramount. The flowers are the 
largest we have ever seen, with wide-open, 
well-veined throats, and the edges of the flowers 
beautifully waved and fringed. Colors range 
from very soft pinkish lavender to deep rosy 
purple. 
One of the most outstanding features of our 
Paramount Ruffled Giants is that the plants 
will stay low-growing, even during our hottest 
summer weather. 
Pkt. 50c; 500 seeds 90c; 1000 seeds $1.50. 
Illustrated in color on page 44. 
Harris’ Salmon Beauty 
3808—A new giant ruffled petunia we know 
you will like. The flowers are immense, well 
ruffled and frilled, with large open throats of 
bright golden yellow, beautifully veined. The 
color is a brilliant clear salmon pink and is the 
only ruffled variety of this same beautiful color. 
Pkt. (200 seeds) 25c; 500 seeds 50c;
