Annual descriptive catalogue : seed & Nursery stock Massachusetts Boston Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Bulbs (Plants) Catalogs; Grasses Seeds Catalogs; Gardening Equipment and supplies Catalogs; Fruit Catalogs. Poppy. Dwarf Shirley. Pentstemon Pulchellus Hybridus Petunia. Howard's New Star. Mr. Howard of Belchertown, Mass., the orginator of this valuable new strain of Petunias, says; For a period of over twenty years we have made it a study to improve the single flowered, medium sized, multiflora type of Petunias. Their ground color is a dark crimson maroon, with a rich velvety texture, justly pronounced equal to that of the pansy. Showing through the ground color are violet veinings. From the centre start the points of a five-rayed star, which broadens half way up, narrowing to a point at the margin of the flower. This star is a very light blush pink, some almost white, which deepens in color as it reaches the margin and finally blends with the maroon ground color. Over eighty per cent, of the plants from seed will produce the star markings. Others with veined and feathery markings on dark or light ground are not less surprisingly beautiful.
