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 doui^le 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 L,arge-flo^vering Petunias. 



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



carefully hybridized flowers produces hut 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 flvirers. The 



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



usually 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 



of doors in May.
