 trailing habit and some are quite erect. Many are dellciously fragrant. 



Petunia Doubl

 FloviERINg, Mixe 

 1636 DOUBLE EXTRA LARGE FLOWERING, MIXED. 



Double Extra Large flowering petunias are without doubt the finest 

 ever offered to the public. For years I have made a specialty of this 

 strain, ooustantly improving it by selection. The flowers assume great- 

 er size and richness as time elapses, and the type ever becomes more 

 desirable. In color, shape, marl5:inss and te.xture it is all that can be de- 

 sired. The numerous petals are more or less folded, fringed and shaded 

 and the result is a dower of unexcelled quality and beavitv. The plant 

 is strong, stocky and vigoious, and foliage pleasing. Packet, 20 cts.
