PETUNIAS 



IN calling attention to our Double Fringed Petunias, we feel a pardonable 

 pride in alluding to our successful efforts, extending over a number of 

 years, towards improving this very useful and beautiful race of plants. 

 To none which we cultivate do we devote more care and labor, employing 

 only the most skillful hands, and hybridizing the lens of thousands of flowers 

 by hand a slow and expensive process, but justified by the results. When it 

 is considered that the varieties offered were selected from over a thousand 

 plants, and that they in turn are a selection from over ten thousand seedlings, 

 some estimate can be formed 

 of the scrupulous and watchful 

 care we exercise m selecting. 

 They are of the easiest culture, 

 growing in an)- soil which will 

 maintain plant life, and produc- 

 ing the most showy flowers in 

 wonderful profusion.
