ALSO SINGLE ASTERS WHICH ARE IN INCREASING DEMAND.

seen. The spikes are tall and straight and run mostly to the lighter pastel shades.

of its strong straight stems and rich color this variety is a valuable addition to the 
list.

in clusters and a single plant resembles a beautiful bunch of double Asters. Also 
highly decorative when grown in the border or beds. Wilt resistant. Mixed colors only.

SINGLE SINENSIS. A flower of great refinement and beauty and strongly recommended 
for those looking for something different, either for cut flower or the border. This type 
makes a plant about 2 ft. high with large single flowers on stiff 15 inch stems. In five 
separate colors: WHITE, APPLE BLOSSOM, PINK, MAUVE, DARK BLUE and 
MIXED.

and handsome and produce beautifully marked blooms in a large variety of 
colors.

A result of scientific plant breeding. This new race of Petunias makes available a 
number of new varieties more compact than older grandiflora sorts and yet with more 
vigor. Seed germinates more quicky and easily, plants bloom more heavily and over a 
longer period. 
BALLERINA. An A. A. S. winner Large ruffled blooms of a clear rich salmon pink. 
COMANCHE. The outstanding floral introduction for 1953. The finest red Petunia in 
existence.

PINK SENSATION Beyond doubt the finest clear light rose pink we have seen.
