PETUNIAS 



No annual of the garden is more lavish with its flowers, or more readily adaptable to any and ever 

 has it become that enthusiasts have given years of patient care 

 to its improvement, and we now have superb show varieties, 

 fringed, ruffled and doubled, mottled, striped and self-colored. 

 Many single-flowering plants, but these, nearly all of fine quality, 

 must be expected from double Petunia seed. The very best double 

 Petunia grown will only produce a small percentage of double- 

 flowering plants. The weaker plants should receive particular 

 care, usually containing the best double-flowering plants.

 surpassed iu quality, finely fringed and in all the best colors. 

 Pkt. 50 cts,

 carefully fertilized; superb mixture ; unsurpassed. Pkt. 25 cts.

 handsomely crimpled. fringed and ruffled, and come in white, rose, 

 velvety crimson-black, etc. Pkt. 25 cts.

 est and prettiest Petunia yet introduced. Plants low-spreading
