Harris’ BEDDING PETUNIAS 
New developments in petunia breeding are taking place so rapidly 
that this always popular annual now tops them all. Here at 
Moreton Farm we are conducting one of the most extensive 
petunia “workshops” in the country and our field and greenhouse 
plantings attracted thousands of visitors. The adverse growing 
conditions of the past hot dry summer were ideal for testing the 
vigor of our new F, bedding hybrids and we are proud of their 
performance. The plants remained upright and compact through- 
out the season in contrast to the sprawly growth of many others. 
Color and size of blooms held remarkably well and bloom was 
continuous and abundant. 
COMANCHE—The new Fi hybrid red petunia. 
W3831 HARRIS’ F:; HYBRID COVER GIRL 
For the many gardeners who want pink 
bedding petunias in which the color is not 
as intense as the Celestial Rose group, 
Cover Girl is the answer. Apple blossom 
pink best describes it. The individual 
plants are almost globe shape and only a 
foot high. Dainty but with lots of sparkle.

uniformly solid row of clear rose pink that

until frost. There are no _ straggling

center of the plants as the season ad- 
vances. 12”

hybrids. 16”

We are spending thousands of dollars on our flower breeding 
program but feel sure it is a good investment. We appreciate the 
encouragement so many of you have given us and hope that you 
will continue to help us with your constructive suggestions. 
Plant growers who have established a reputation for supplying 
the newest and best varieties will want to include these new F: 
hybrids in their plantings. They have been tailored to meet the 
demands of the most critical gardeners but can be easily grown 
by the new home owners who are rank amateurs. 
Since our seed crops of these new petunias are limited, we urge 
you to place your orders early and so avoid disappointment. 
Petunias average 285,000 seeds to the ounce.
