 3320 Mixed Colors Pkt. 50c. 



NOTE. — This strain of Douhle-flowcring PeiunHas do not produce seed. 

 The pollen from the doubles is transferred to the rhosen singles which produce 

 the seed; in consequence only about one-third of the progeny will be double- 

 fljv)ering plants, and these in the seeding stage are always the weaklings of the 

 batch and are the ones to be coddled. 



PETUNIA, DOUBLE SELF-SEEDING 



3330 This new strain is unique from the fact that the double flowers 

 produce seed; insuring a larger percentage of double-flowering plants 

 (about 60 per cent.) than can be raised from singles artificially pol- 

 lenized from double flowers, which is necessary in producing allr-other 

 Double .Petunias from seed. The flowers of these Double Self-seeding 

 Petunias are large — double — and include a variety of different 

 colors Pkt. 50c.
