PETUNIA, Little Giants Mixed 
DWARF CALIFORNIA GIANTS IMPROVED. (5 to 7 in.) 
We have a strain of Dwarf Giants of California developed 
by reselection over the past ten years. We have found it 
equal to or better than any other. Among the testimonials 
we have received, we quote the following: “We want to 
thank you for your help in selecting our flower seeds, espe- 
cially the Petunias, which proved to be a complete success. 
Our Dwarf Giants of California is the by-word im this 
community. Our customers remarked that they had never 
seen anything like them. Some of them were fully 9 in. 
across the bell and the plants only 9 in. high.” 
Dwarf Giants of California, Extra-Dwarf Giants. Our 
best mixture, this new strain has been bred to fill the need 
for a truly dwarf pot Petunia. Flowers have well-marked 
open throats and are beautifully ruffled and fringed.
