NEW HYBRID PETUNIAS FOR 1955 
Below we list 3 wonderful new Hybrid Petu- 
nias for 1955. The seed comes direct from the 
originators. In our own trials last summer, 
these three and Prima Donna, Comanche and 
Ballerina on page 75, were outstanding. Each 
was the best of its color we have ever seen. 
Vigorous, healthy, compact, bushy, uniform 
plants that bloomed freely and constantly 
from early in the season until severe frosts. 
Not just a few blooms but the entire plants 
were covered with the lovely flowers. Ideal for 
beds and borders. If you start the seeds in- 
doors, the plants will be ready to set out when 
warm spring weather arrives. Postpaid.
