DOUBLE PETUNIA MRS. G. DAWSON COLEMAN." 



An entirely new and distinct shape, and without exaggeration the finest double white Petunia ever sent out. The 

 ■flowers are large, very double, deeply fringed and of a pure white color. We sent out this variety in 1886 with an 

 assured feeling that it would meet with the approbation of plant lovers. The many flattering testimonials we have 

 received from all parts of the country, combined with our own observation of its merits, have led us to grow a. large 

 quantity of it, so that we may be able to meet all demands. 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per dozen.
