 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

 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 thiat can be 

 secured from any source at any price.
