PETU 



INIA 



Petunias are unsurpassed for massing in 



beds. Their richness of color, duration of 



bloom, and easy culture will always render 



them popular. They do well sown in open 



border in spring, or earlier in cold f I'ame 



or hot bed, and transplanted eighteen / 



inches apart. Tender perennial, .''' 



but blooms profusely the first sea- 

 son. One and a half feet high. 



The fully double Petunias do not 



produce seed, so that to procure 



double flowering plants we must 



use seed of single flowers, which 



have been carefully fertilized by 



pollen from double ones. The seed 



we offer is the result of careful hy- 

 bridization, and can be depended 



upon to give as large a proportion 



of double flowers as any.

l^ 



Very hardy annuals, thriving in almost 

 any situation, and unequaled in the magnificent display of their many 

 and brilliant colored flowers. Plants from seed sown in open ground 

 in fall or early spring will begin flowering about July first and remain 

 literally covered with bloom until after severe frosts late in autumn. 

 For masses of separate colors or for cutting for bouquets, they are 

 unsurpassed. One foot high.

D|«l£^Y Dpt^Afifiieil The varieties of the perennial phlox are

 flourish in any soil, succeeding better, however, in deep, rich, rather moist

T>fn'>r&£i1i& Francheti— This is certainly a great addition 

 ■^llJ9Ctll9 to our list of cultivated plants. It forms a 

 branching plant about two feet high, and when well grown pro- 

 duces from the axil of every leaf one or more ball shaped seed 

 pods, which at maturity are an intense orange red color, con- 

 taining bright red cherry-like fruit. This is superior to the 

 ground cherry or husk tomato for making preserves. When 

 covered with the ripe pods it is one of the most strikingly beau- 

 tiful decorative plants. It grows readily to a fniiting size the 

 first year from seed Pkt. lOcts
