PETUNIAS 



For outdoor decoration, porch or window boxes few plants equal the 

 Petunia in effectiveness. They commence flowering early and con- 

 tinue a sheet of bloom throughout the whole season until killed by 

 frost; easily cultivated, only requiring a good soil and sunny position. 

 It is best to sow them indoors and transplant to the open in May. The 

 Single Bedding kinds can be sown out of doors in May. . We have 

 long been celebrated for our magnificent strains of both the single and 

 double varieties, which we endeavor to improve each year by careful 

 selection and hybridization. 



Note. — It is well known that seed saved from the most care- 

 fully hybridized flowers produce but a small percentage of double 

 flowers, the balance beiJig single of unusually fine quality. The 

 weaker seedlings should be carefully saved, as these invariably 

 produce tJie finest double flowers. 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.
