Petunias. 



Our New Fancy=FIowering Strain. 



This is unquestionably the finest and most valuable strain of 

 Petunias in existence. Every year the crop is graded to a cer- 

 tain high type, which is few seeded, and the minute seeds care- 

 fully gathered by hand. The cost of production is so great that the 

 crop is actually worth more than the same weight of gold. The 

 flowers are grand in size and are produced in great abundance. 

 The colors range from pure white through the delicate shades 

 of rose to deep pink, some flowers being marked and stained in 

 the mo.st beautiful manner, while the purple and dark colors are 

 rich and striking; our mixture is made with care, so that a fine 

 collection of distinct varieties, double and fringed, can be raised 

 from a single packet. This strain will satisfy and delight all 

 lovers of flowers. 3 pkts. for 50 cts.; 7 pkts for Jx . ... 20
