Knflfled Giants. This new race is the result 

 of years of careful hybridizing and selection by one 

 of the foremost Petunia specialists. The flowers are 

 of extraordinary size and substance, with very deep 

 throat, and distinguished from the large flowering 

 fringed section by the deeper fringing and fluting, 

 giving the appearance as if artificially ruffled. The 

 colors are not surpassed by any other strain, ranging 

 from the deepest plum-purple to the purest white, 

 with all the intermediate shades, which combined with 

 the ruffling make the flowers truly superb 

 Miranda. Introduced by one of the foremost 

 European Petunia specialists. It belongs to the large- 

 flowering fringed section, and in color is a brilliant

 let Petunia yet obtained ; worthy a trial . ,

 pact growing variety, flowers cherry-red with a white 



centre. (See cut.)

 satiny-white flowers throughout the entire season. A 



splendid sort for pois or for bedding

For outdoor decoration or house culture few plants 

 equal the Petunia in effectiveness. They commence 

 flow ering early and continue a sheet of bloom through- 

 out the whole seast)n until killed by frost; easily culti- 

 vated, 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 

 and hybridization. The. past season we tested samples 

 received from the leading Petunia specialists of the 

 v\orld, and we can safely say without fear of contradic- 

 tion that our own strain is the best tJiat can be procured 



^^ from any source. 



DOUBI.E VARIETIES. 



Note.- — // is zvell known that seed saved from the 

 most carefully hybridized floiuei s produces but a small 

 percetitage oj double flowers, the balance being singles 

 of unusually fi)ie quality. The weaker seedlings should 

 be caie fully saved, as these invariably produce the finest 

 double flowers. ^^^ ^^^
