We devote much effort to the cultivation of the Double Petunia ; 

 we spare no pains or expense to obtain the best results, and as a 

 consequence we succeed annually in raising a succession of fine 

 varieties. The varieties named below we selected from the vast 

 numbers of seedlings we grew the past season. They are all beautifully 

 fringed and exhibit every shade and marking found in Double Petunias. 

 Cardinal. Rich, deep violet; deeply fringed and edged with silvery white. 



One of the finest varieties in our grounds.

claret, fringed. .

 comes lighter and finally ends in clear white ; a very double and finely 



fringed variety.

blush pink. 

 Diadem. A unique shade in Petunias, pinkish lavender, veined purplish 



magenta and crimson.
