PETUNIA. 



For outdoor decoration or house culture 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 posi- 

 tion. 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. We have tested 

 samples received from the leading Petunia specialists of the world, 

 and 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 well known that seed saved from the most carefully 

 hybridized flowers produces but 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 flowers.
