CURRIE BROTHERS' HORTICULTURAL GUIDE. 



DOUBLE PHLOXES. 



PETUNIA. 



A highly ornamental and profuse 



flowering, easily cultivated garden 



favorite. The brilliancy and variety 



of its colors, combined with the dura- 

 tion of its blooming period, render it 



invaluable for plawing 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.
