CURRIE BROTHERS COMPANY, MILWAUKEE, WIS. 



PETUNIA. 



A highly ornamental and profuse flowering, easily culti- 

 vated garden favorite. The brilliancy and variety of its col- 

 ors, combined with the duration of its blooming period,, render 

 it invaluable for planting out in beds or mixed borders. The 

 Seeds of the double Petunia do not possess as much vitality as 

 those of the single, and a good deal of care must be used to 

 get them to germinate, nor will they all come double. H. H. P.

DOUBLE PETUNIAS. 



Fringed, Choice Mixed — Our double-fringed Petunias are 

 saved from one of the finest collections in existence, and 

 will produce 30 to 40 per cent, of fine double-fringed 

 flowers, the balance being extra fine single flowers; the 

 weakest seedlings should be carefully preserved, as they 

 invariably produce double flowers 25

 will produce a large percentage of doubles, while such 

 plants as are single are marvels of beauty in colors and 

 markings 25
