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

 beauty and size of flowers and produce a large percentage of

 double flowers, the balance being single of unusually fine qual-

 invariably produce the finest double flowers.
