Seedling Petunias. 
HENDERSON’S SELECTED STRAIN. 
In the whole range of what are known as 
“bedding plants” there is not one that can 
be said to excel in genuine usefulness the 
Petunia. They are of the easiest culture, 
growing in any soil that will maintain plant 
life, and producing the most showy flowers 
in the greatest profusion. The variety of 
uses they can be put to is extraordinary— 
baskets, vases, beds, borders—in any and 
every situation they find a congenial home. 
The ‘‘double” does not always produce dou- 
ble flowers, but a fair percentage will, and 
such as are single usually excel in size and 
color. We offer plants grown from seed 
of our own saving, which has been hy- 
bridized by hand, using only the most per- 
fect flowers, thus ensuring a choice strain 
of the most beautiful kinds, alarge per- 
centage being beautifully fringed. Double 
Petunias (from seed), 15¢. each, $1.50 per 
dozen, $10.00 per 100. Single Petunias 
(from seed), 10c. each, $1.00 per dozen, 
$6.00 per 100, (See also page 128.)
