PETUNIAS 



No annual of the garden is more lavish with its flowers, or 

 more readily adaptable to any and every purpose than the Pe- 

 tunia. So popular 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 per- 

 centage of double-flowering plants. The' weaker plants should 

 receive particular care, usually containing the best double-flow- 

 ering plants.
