PETUNIAS 
GIANT 
Many new giant flowering single and double petunias are being introduced each year 
Plantings of these are made in our Test Gardens so that their performance can be 
compared with older varieties. We can say, therefore, with confidence that, to date, 
no finer giant flowering petunias are available than those which we offer below. 
A typical plant of Double Canadian Salmon 
Petunias growing in our gardens. 
NEW DOUBLES 
Harris’ Selected Double Mixture 
3785—This mixture contains the best colors 
available in double petunias; salmon, orchid, 
purple, white and shades of pink. The blooms 
are large and beautifully fringed; the plants 
vigorous and free flowering. Equally effective 
in flower arrangements or the garden. 15 in. 
Pkt. (125 seeds) 90c; 500 seeds $2.00. 
Double Canadian Salmon 
3781—The double petunias from a Canadian 
hybridizer are especially desirable because the 
plants are so very dwarf and compact as 
well as free flowering, even when quite small. 
This new variety has fully double, well fringed 
blooms, 4 to 5 inches across, of a sparkling 
salmon-pink color. All who saw it in our Test 
Gardens declared it to be the most beautiful 
double salmon-pink petunia they have ever 
seen. 1 ft. 
Pkt. (125 seeds) 90c; 500 seeds $2.00. 
All Double America 
All-America Award 1945 
3772—The first really double petunia devel- 
oped in America. Flowers are rose pink, of 
medium size, 2 in. or more across. Plants are 
dwarf and bushy, with the flowers held well 
above the rich clean foliage. 10 in. 
Pkt. (125 seeds) 45c; 500 seeds $1.50.

freezing; extremely vigorous but dwarf com- 
pact plants; 100% large, gracefully ruffled 
and fringed flowers; soft glowing salmon color—

beautifully with other petunias, but was par- 
ticularly effective in our gardens this summer

Illustrated in color on page 41. 
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. 14 in. 
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. 15 in. 
Pkt. (200 seeds) 25c; 500 seeds 50c; 
1000 seeds 90c; 1, Oz. $1.75. 
Theodosia 
3813—The flowers are large, beautifully frilled, 
with large open yellow throats. The color is a 
most attractive shade of bright rosy salmon. 
14 in. 
Pkt. (200 seeds) 25c; 500 seeds 50c; 
1000 seeds 90c; 1¢4 Oz. $1.75. 
Fringed Snowstorm 
3815—The very large fringed flowers with a 
touch of yellow in the throat literally cover 
the vigorous plants. Use it with any of the 
colors of the large flowering type to provide 
interesting contrast. 1 ft. 
Pkt. (200 seeds) 25c; 500 seeds 50c; 
1000 seeds 90c; 1, Oz. $1.75. 
Snowstorm acts as a foil for other petunia 
colors.

Harris’ Paramount Ruffled still ‘leads the field.” 
RUFFLED GIANTS 
Paramount Ruffled 
3802—Haerris’ 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. 10 in. 
Pkt. (200 seeds) 50c; 500 seeds 90c; 
1000 seeds $1.50. 
Harris’ Salmon Beauty 
3808—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 ruf- 
fled variety of this same beautiful color. 15 in. 
Pkt. (200 seeds) 25c; 500 seeds 50c;

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 
and are a mass of bloom throughout the sum- 
mer. 14 in.

1000 seeds 90c; 4&4 Oz. $1.75. 
Harris’ Giant Snowstorm

available anywhere. Plants are covered with 
glistening white bloom all summer. Plant Giant 
Snowstorm with Purple Prince, Royalty or 
Black Prince. 14 in. 
Pkt. (200 seeds) 25c; 500 seeds 50c;

rich self colored blooms. Often blossoms of all 
these combinations appear on one plant. 15 in.
