HYBRID PETUNIAS True first generation (F,) hybrids, the result of cross- 
ing two distinct parent varieties by hand pollination 
Hybrid petunias are really outstanding, 
each seed is produced by carefully con- 
trolled crossing by hand of two distinct 
parent lines. This is very costly but the re- 
sulting seed will produce a hybrid of ex- 
treme vigor, more uniform in growth, with 
larger flowers and considerably more of 
them per plant than either parent. We 
strongly urge that special care and atten- 
tion be given to the sowing of the seed and 
the growing of the plants. Wonderful for 
beds, borders and excellent for cut flowers.

Plants are extremely vigorous, 2 ft. tall, 
as much as 4 ft. in width, and completely 
covered with flowers, 3 in. across. The color 
is light rose-pink with deeper pink veining 
extending well out toward the edges from 
the white throat which is finely etched with 
brown. A metallic lustre adds life and 
sparkle. Hybrid vigor is surely evident in 
this lovely multiflora hybrid petunia.
