NOTE. — This strain of Double-flowering Petunias does not produce seed. The pollen 

 from the doubles is transferred to the chosen singles which produce seed so only about 

 one-third of the flowers will be double and these in the seeding stage are always the weak- 

 lings of the batch and are the ones to be transplanted.

 seed. The flowers include a variety of different colors.
