GIANT PETUNIAS 
GIANT RUFFLED PETUNIAS 
W3802 HARRIS’ PARAMOUNT GIANTS 
An extra fine strain of our own growing espe- 
cially selected for florist’s use. In our Trial 
Grounds they compare most favorably with 
strains available from many sources and at 
higher prices. Immense, deep throated, beau- 
tifully ruffled and frilled flowers in a range 
of vivid and delicate colors, from rich purple 
through rose and pink to lilac, are produced 
while the plants are still small, making them 
ideal for spring plant sales. Plants are com- 
pact, low growing and very free flowering. 
Excellent for pot plants or outdoor bedding.

W3806 DWARF CALIFORNIA GIANTS, Mixed Colors.

GIANT WAVED PETUNIAS 
W3809 HARRIS’ ROYALTY. Beautiful large velvety 
flowers vary from pure white touched with pur- 
ple through varying combinations of purple and 
white to rich self-colored blooms. Grown as a

duced this variety the demand has so increased 
that we have difficulty keeping up with it. 15”

waved, pure white flowers on low growing plants. 
Blooms constantly in the garden and sells well

DOUBLE PETUNIAS—Invaluable for 
summer cut flowers. 
DOUBLE PETUNIAS 
With their increasing use as bedding plants, 
specimen pot plants, cut flowers and the high 
spots in combination boxes and pots, the new 
double petunias are making inroads on the 
old standbys, such as geraniums, because they 
can be grown at less cost. 
November sowing produces large pot plants 
by late April or early May; December and 
January, 214” to 3” pot plants for May sales. 
Use sterilized soil for seed sowing and 60 to 
65° temperatures for germination. Don’t cover 
the seed with soil. Use newspapers to keep 
the surface moist. A 50° temperature after 
germination makes for huskier plants. 
CANADIAN 100% DOUBLE 
W3781 CANADIAN SALMON. (A Harris Introduc- 
tion.) A worthy addition to the Canadian Dou- 
bles with 4” to 5” blooms of sparkling salmon- 
pink fully double and well fringed. The plants 
are the dwarf and compact form typical of all the 
Canadian group, and exceptionally uniform in 
plant habit and color. Plants produce blooms 
when quite small and continue to bloom pro- 
fusely. 12” 
W3782 CANADIAN CLEAR ROSE. Bright sparkling 
rose with no mauve nor magenta. Unusually free 
flowering. 12” 
W3780 CANADIAN ALL DOUBLE MIXTURE. A mix- 
ture of many shades of rose and salmon plus 
mauve and a little white. All the Canadian Dou- 
bles are 100% large flowering and produce dwarf 
compact bushy plants ideal for potting or garden 
culture. 12” .

F, GRANDIFLORA FRINGED HYBRIDS 
We were particularly impressed with the way 
these new F, Grandiflora Fringed Hybrids 
performed during the past hot dry summer. 
Hybrid vigor was apparent in the vigorous 
growth, the early and continuous bloom, the 
size and nonfading color and the absence of 
straggly growth. Sow seed in December for 
Easter pot plants. 
W3807 Fi BALLERINA. An All America Winner 
for 1952 and one of the finest petunias pro- 
duced to date. The ruffled and fringed 31” 
flowers of soft glowing salmon are 100% 
grandiflora type. Plants are dwarf and com- 
pact, not at all straggly; growth is most vig- 
orous and extremely free flowering. Plants 
started to bloom June 21st from an April 1st 
sowing. Ballerina lived up to expectations 
this summer and will sell even better this 
year than last. 10” 
W3801 Fi LA PALOMA. Single fringed pure white 
3”-312” blooms with yellow throat; 100% grandi- 
flora. 14” 
W3803 Fi BOLERO. Warm carmine rose. As pro- 
fuse in blooms as bedding types. Plants extra 
dwarf remaining that way all summer. 12” 
W3804 Fi TANGO. A deep scarlet-salmon, more 
brilliant than anything seen thus far. Large, 
fringed flowers produced in abundance. Vigorous 
but dwarf plants. 12” 
ANY ONE OF ABOVE FOUR F: HYBRIDS: 
500 seeds $1.00; 1000 seeds $1.90; 1/128 Oz. $3.85; 
1/64 Oz. $7.50; 1/32 Oz. $13.50. 
SINGLE FRINGED PETUNIAS 
W3805 CARMENCITA. Similar to the rich scarlet- 
salmon of Fi Tango but not a hybrid. Such a 
gorgeous new color that it stands out in any 
planting. Large flowers deeply fringed. The 
dwarf plants are ideal for pot plants. 10” 
W3815 FRINGED SNOWSTORM. Glistening white 
with a touch of yellow in the throat. Large beau- 
per fringed flowers are abundantly produced. 
W3817 THE ART. Also called “Columbia.” An ex- 
ceptionally free-flowering fringed petunia in un- 
usual color combinations of bright reds and 
white, mostly in blotches. Very effective as a 
pot plant. 15” 
W3813 THEODOSIA. We wish all our plant growers 
could see the plants from which our seed crop 
of Theodosia was grown this year. Every plant 
produced unusually deep fringed, bright rose 
a blossoms with deep golden yellow throats. 
ANY ONE OF ABOVE FOUR FRINGED GRANDIFLORA 
PETUNIAS: 1000 seeds 75c; 1/64 Oz. $1.50; 1/32 Oz.

“Your Double Petunias last year were the 
nicest and best of any from several sources 
and this year your Rose & Salmon gave me 
an even 2000 plants from 2000 seeds. This 
number may sound unconvincing, but is 
what I counted. A few more may come.”
