FEMALE PARENT OF THE CROSS 



Fetunia gra^idiflora, shown above, natural size, is single and has perfect reproductive organs, 

 producing several hundred seeds from each flower. So far as she can learn it had not 

 been used in commercial production of double-flowering petunias until Mrs. Francis 

 began to work with it, all breeding have previously been done with various forms of 

 Petunia hybrida. (Fig. 6.)
