Currie’s Petunias 
Useful and highly ornamental free-flowering plants, growing 
almost anywhere, producing an abundance of brilliant colored 
flowers throughout the season until frost. Care should be taken 
with seeds of the double sorts, as they do not germinate as 
easily as the single, nor will they all produce flowers.

DOUBLE LARGE-FLOWERING PETUNIAS 
Our strains of double-flowering Petunias are unsurpassed for 
beauty and size of flowers and produce a large percentage of 
double flowers. It is well known that seed saved from the most 
carefully hybridized flowers produce but a small percentage of 
double flowers, the balance being single of unusually fine qual- 
ity. The weaker seedlings should be carefully saved, as these 
invariably produce the finest double flowers.
