Ever-increasing in popularity because of its deep, bright, salmon color 
—pleasant and distinctive among doubles. 
VICTORIOUS opanese)y STRAINS 
@Gaiety. The blotched or variegated flowers combine bright 
rose-pink with contrasting pure white to produce the “Straw- 
berries in cream” effect. The blooms are medium large, well- 
doubled and fringed, and are carried on dwarf, base- 
branching plants—qualities which go to make an excellent 
Petunia for pots. The most popular Victorious variety. 
% tr. pkt., $2.25; tr. pkt., $4.00. Limit, 2 tr. pkts. Mr. 
Sakata, the producer of the Japanese All-Double strains, 
reports the worst growing season in 45 years!

trasting rose shade than the comparable Gaiety—looked very 
good in our 753 trial.

formly dwarf growth.
