TWO NEW F, HYBRID BEDDING PETUNIAS 
We were mighty pleased with the recep- 
tion many of you gave our new F, hybrid 
bedding petunia, Gypsy, this past season. 
Pleased, too, with the glowing reports we 
had from customers who had planted it. So 
we are happy to report that again this year 
Gypsy was by far the best salmon colored 
bedding petunia in our Trial Grounds. 
W3839 GYPSY. A warm, burnished, glow- 
ing salmon-scarlet blooming early and pro- 
fusely. Plants of this first generation hybrid 
ate neat and compact about 1 ft. high and 
not quite so wide. The large flowers are as 
red as Fire Chief when they open becoming 
a brilliant salmon pink when fully mature. 
Hybrid vigor is apparent in the sturdy and 
uniform growth and in the abundance and 
size of blooms. 
500 seeds 90c; 1000 seeds $1.65; 
1/128 Oz. $3.00; 1/64 Oz. $5.50. 
Petunias average 285,000 seeds to the ounce 
W3821 WHITE PERFECTION. The best all round white 
bedding petunia available because of its compact growth 
and abundance of bloom. 
W3825 DARK PURPLE. A very much improved stock, 
very compact growing and a deep velvety dark blue- 
purple. 
W3826 CELESTIAL ROSE. The finest all-purpose bright 
pink. A clear pink without the large white throat of 
Rosy Morn. This is the most compact and uniform 
open pollinated strain available. 
W3827 HEAVENLY BLUE, Improved. Ours is a much 
improved strain of clear, light blue petunia which com- 
bines so well with other petunia colors. 
ANY ONE OF THE ABOVE COLORS: Lg. Pkt. 35c; 
1/8 Oz. 70c; 1/4 Oz. $1.15; Oz. $4.00.

tial Rose, White Perfection, Dark Purple and 
Heavenly Blue!

Realizing that there is always a great de- 
mand for a bedding petunia of Celestial 
Rose color, we set about breeeding an F, 
hybrid of this color. The result is Dream 
Girl, which has large flowers of good sub- 
stance; rich, fade proof color; compact vig- 
orous plants about which every plant grower 
has dreamed. In our Trials it was a standout. 
W3832 DREAM GIRL. The deep rose pink 
of this first generation hybrid is practically 
fade proof even under adverse conditions. 
The small white throat serves to accentuate 
the color which, while deep, is never harsh. 
Flowers, many of which are 2% inches 
across, are produced in abundance over a 
long period. Plants which are uniformly | 
erect and compact do not become floppy. 
500 seeds 95c; 1000 seeds $1.75; 
1/128 Oz. $3.25; 1/64 Oz. $6.00. 
This photograph, taken in September, shows the com- 
pact vigorous growth and the abundance and sub- 
stance of the blooms on Dream Girl. 
W3837 F, ROSE CHARM. A new first generation hybrid 
dwarf bedding variety of the Celestial Rose type. Uni- 
form, vigorous growth; early, profuse bloom; large 
flowers of a clear luminous pink. Het. 1 foot.

changing to silvery pink as the flowers mature. Plants 
are taller, wider, more vigorous and more uniform in 
habit of growth than most bedding varieties.
