TRY OUR FINE STRAINS OF “PETUNIA” 
until November. It is of value as a cut 
flower, lasting well in water, and its deli- 
cate Primrose-like perfume is most accept- 
able in a room. The texture of the petals 
is extremely delicate, indeed half trans- 
parent; they never lose the crumpled folds 
that in the case of most poppies betoken 
a newly opened state. The fiowers are very 
large, 4 to 5 inches across, pure white, with 
a bunch of yellow stamens resembling 
large white single Paeonies. Strong plants

tiny cuttings show more flowers than 
leaves. It is one of the finest and best new 
plants ever introduced and one that will 
give satisfaction to everyone. 15c.
