 fouiid in any double Petunias, including delicate mauve, porcelain blue, white, garnet and 

 velvet shades. The delicate blue and white flowers, freely produced, are particularly note- 

 worthy. This carefully hybridized seed will yield a larger percentage of double flowers 

 than any other Petunia in cultivation today. " Mixed. Pkt. ISc.

 able as a cut flower. I am sure my customers will be greatly pleased with these. Pkt. 6c.
