^ 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.
