PETUNIA. 



For out-door decoration or house culture few plants 

 equal the Petunia in effectiveness. They commence flow- 

 ering early and continue a sheet of bloom throughout the 

 whole season until killed by frost ; easily cultivated, only 

 requiring a rich soil and a sunny position. 



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 anc 

 hybridization. The past season we tested samples received 

 from the leading Petunia specialists of the world, and we 

 can safely say without fear of contradiction that our own 

 strain is the best that can be procured from any source. 



DOUBLE VARIETIES. 



Note. — It is 7oell known that the double Petunia 

 grown from seed produces but a small percentage of 

 double flowers ; the balance in single flowers of the same 

 rich shade. The weaker seedlings should be carefuhy 

 saved, as these invariably produce the finest double 

 flowers. PER PKT .
