Pel^owium^. 



This set of 12 varieties has been selected from one of the 

 finest English collections, which embraces none but the 

 very best and most distinct varieties. We can furnish, if 

 desired, many other fine sorts suitable for market pur- 

 poses, but consider the following the cream of the collec- 

 tion :

 gined rosy lake; light centre, edged violet; petals 

 beautifully fringed and undulated.

marked with a white belt; very distinct.

 bled with rose, the upper petals crimson maroon ;

 fuse bloomer ; rosy crimson, light centre, purple

 cts. each ; set of 12, $3.00. 



Double Petu^. 



For many years we have made a specialty of Double 

 Petunias, growing from three to five thousand seedlings 

 annually, from which we select the best for propagation. 

 We have discarded the plain edged sorts, as the fringed 

 and laced varieties listed below are very much better. 

 The list offered is an improvement on last year's, as it con- 

 tains varieties not offered heretofore. 

 Atlantic. Rich rosy purple, edged white. 

 Argus. Rosy purple, splashed with white. 



Aurora. Very rich carmine, edged with white. 

 Cherub. White, splashed with carmine and crimson. 

 Cheerfulness. White, mottled with rosy crimson. 

 Cleopatra. Immense rosy crimson and white. 

 Elfrida. Rosy carmine and white. 

 Estella. Mottled crimson, purple and white. 

 Exquisite. Delicate rose, edged with white. 



Galatea. Fine, deep purplish crimson, edged white. 

 Genesta. White, mottled crimson ; extra. 

 Lucinda. Purplish carmine, mottled white. 

 Mayflower. White, mottled-rosy crimson. 

 Murillo. Rosy lilac, finely fringed ; very distinct. 

 Norma. Rosy crimson, finely fringed. 

 Oracle. Rosy carmine, edged with white. 

 Snowdrift, Improved. Pure white. 

 Remarkable. Bright rosy lilac, mottled with white; a 

 fine large flower. 



20 cts. each ; $2.00 per doz. 



SINGLE PETUNIAS. 



The varieties offered have been selected from many 

 hundreds of finest seedlings, varying through all the 

 shades of crimson, rose and purple, to the purest white, 

 striped, mottled, self-colored, and fringed. A solid bed of 

 single Petunias makes a very effective show of flowers 

 during the entire season, and one that suffers but little 

 on account of drought or too much rain. 

 Marvellous. White, striped with rich carmine, ele- 

 gantly fringed. 



Matchless. White, beautifully flushed with delicate 



rose, splashed and mottled with crimson ; finely 



fringed. 

 Princess. Rosy purple, light veined throat.

white ; finely fringed. 

 Startler. Rich crimson, edged pure white, throat 



veined purple. 

 White Perfection. Pure whit,e, deeply fringed ; a 



handsome and desirable variety. 



15 cts. each ; $1.50 per doz.
