The ORIGINAL and TRUE 



the entire stock of which we purchased of a Florist in Danville, Ills., a year since, has been thoroughly 

 proved by us the past season, and we consider it far in advance of all others for bedding or bordering, from 

 its perfect symmetry of form, a quality not possessed by other varieties.

NXSIV PETUNIA 



HUMBOLDT. 



?? 



This Petunia is from Senary 's Strain, and was grown and brought to bloom last season by Mr. Adam 

 Blumerschein, a Florist well known in this city, from whom we obtained our stock. The habit of growth is 

 such as is rare in this class of plants, being dwarf and compact, rendering it very valuable for pot culture, 

 while the bio :m, which measures over three inches in diameter, is a perfect gem and of indescribable 

 beauty. Its full, double form and deeply fringed edge remind one of the Camellia fimbriata. Color, bright 

 maroon ground, blotched and shaded with white and crimson. Many Florists from abroad, visiting the city 

 last fall, had an opportunity to see it in bloom, and spoke in unqualified praise of its rare beauty. No one 

 once seeing this in bloom will ever regret its purchase. Price, $1.(^" each.
