F-| HYBRID PETUNIAS

For delivery about September 15, 1959

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN KEEPING
COSTS DOWN AND STILL GROW THE
FINEST F-1 PETUNIAS? Of course you are. The
fact that so many of our customers year after year
increase their orders for our F-1 Petunias is clear
indication of it. They are satisfied with the excellent
germination we maintain and their customers prize
these F-1 Petunias in their gardens. Under no other
conditions could our business increase nor could we
attract so many new customers every year.

Like most other items in our catalog, the follow-
ing F-1 Petunias are yours at material savings in
costs. We can rightfully glorify them with super-
latives, but that would do only half a job.

You try them, and you will use the superlatives
and buy greater quantities every year.

nama compact or multiflora types

All compact very dwarf plants with marked
resistance to stem rot and botrytis.

All 4% oz. $6.50 Y% oz. $22.00 \% oz. $40.00

Cherry Blossom Uniform bright salmon rose
compare with Sioux

Large flowered or Grandiflora Types

All are 100% grandifloras. You will find this list of
grandifloras the dwarfest and most compact grown,
Like in the case of our multifloras most resist both
stem rot and botrytis.
