PETUNIA. 
For eutdoor 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 
ef contradiction that our strain is the best that can be 
secured from any source at any price. 
Double Large-flowering Petunias. 
Note-—It is well known that seed saved from the most 
earcfully hybridized flowers produces but a small percent- 
age of double flowers, the balance being singles of unusu- | : 
ally fine quality. The weaker seedlings should be care- 2 a. es 
fully saved, as these invariably produce the finest double 
flowers. The same is true of the 
single sorts, the large, strong seed- 
lings usually being weedy, while the, 
at first, weaker seedlings produce 
the very finest flowers of best col- 
erings. 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. PER PKT.
