PETUNIA. 



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 bloomingperiod, 

 render it invaluable for 

 planting out in beds or 

 mixed borders. The seeds 

 of the double Petunia do 

 [not possess as much vital- 

 ly 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.
