DREER'S SUPERB DOUBLE FRINGED PETUNIAS. 



For many years we have made a specialty of Double Petunias, growing about five thousand seedlings annually, from which 

 ■we select the choicest for propagation. We have discarded the plain edged sorts, as the fringed and laced varieties listed below are 

 -very much better. To bring our strain of Double Fringed Petunias to the notice of such of our patrons who have not yet tried 

 them, we have chosen them as one of the subjects for the cover of this catalogue, but the plate does not do them justice, it 

 being impossible to reproduce the intricate fringing and lacing and delicate colorings, but it nevertheless conveys a fair idea of 

 their beauty.
