PETUNIAS. |p 
For outdoor decoration or house | | 
culture few plants equal the Pe- |* 
tunia in effectiveness. They com- 
mence flowering early and con- |i 
tinue a sheet of bloom throughout |“ 
the whole season until killed by |”! 
frost; easily cultivated, only re- | i 
quiring a good soil and } # 
sunny position. Wehave } tt 
7 long been celebrated for } 
our magnificent strains of |} 
both the single and dou- } £" 
ble varieties, which we }? 
endeavor to improve each 
year by careful selection 
and hybridization, We 
have tested samples re- 
ceived from the leading 
Petunia specialists of the world, and can safely say without fear of contra- 
diction that our strain is the best that can be secured from any 
source at any price. 
es Sea Double Large-flowering Petuntiias. ' 
Note.—It is well known that seed saved from the most carefully |, 
hybridized flowers produce but a small percentage of double flowers, }y 
, the balance being single of unusually fine quality. The ; 
weaker seedings should be carefully saved, as these 
invariably produce the finest double flowers. The same 4 
is true of the single sorts, the large, strong seedlings usu- 
ally being weedy, while the, at first, weaker seedlings 
produce the very finest flowers, of best colorings. Jt is 
best to sow Petunias indoors and transplant to the open | 
in May. The Single Bedding kinds can be sown right out
