efender.'' % natural size. 



NEW DOUBLE PETUNIA, "DEFENDER." 



(Ready about October 1st.) 

 We devote special efforts 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; but in the long 

 list of grand sorts which we have raised not one can approach this. Double 

 White Petunias are always scarce ; it is no exaggeration to say that in the 

 past twenty years we have grown over a million seedlings, and not one was 

 the equal of this. The illustration, which is about two-thirds natural size, 

 gives a good idea of its perfectton of form and purity of color. We have 

 named it in honor of the ,: White Beauty " which so successfully defended 

 the "blue ribbon of the seas," and it is well worthy of the title. It will, we 

 believe, successfully defend its claim to be the best Double White Petunia 

 ever raised. (See cut.) Price, $1.00 per doz.; $3.00 per 100.
