PETUNIA. 



For outdoor decoration or house culture few plants equal the 

 Petunia in effectiveness. They commence flowering early and 

 continue a sheet of bloom throughout the whole season until 

 killed by frost; easily cultivated, only requiring a good soil and 

 sunny position. We have long been celebrated for our magnifi- 

 cent strains of both the single and double varieties, which we 

 endeavor to improve each year by careful selection and hybrid- 

 ization. We have tested samples received from the leading 

 Petunia specialists of the world, and can safely say without fear 

 of contradiction that our strain is the best that can be 

 secured from any source at any price. 



Double Earge-Flowering Petunias. 



Note. — It is well known that seed saved from the most 

 carefully hybridized flowers produces but a small percentage 

 of double flowers, the balance being singles of unusually fine 

 quality. The weaker seedlings should be carefully saved, 

 as these invariably produce the finest double floicers. The 

 same is true of the single sorts, the targe, strong seedlings 

 usually being weedy, while the, at first, 

 weaker seedlings produce the very finest 

 floicers of best colorings- It is best to 

 sow Petunias indoors and transplant to 

 the open in May. The Single Bedding 

 kinds can, be sown right out of doors 

 in May.
