SPECIMEN FANCV-FLOWERING PETUNIA 



PETUNIAS, 



Our New Fancy-Flowering Strain. 



This is unquestionably the finest and most valuable strain 



of Petunias in existence. Every year the crop is graded 



to a certain high type, which is few seeded, and the minute 



seeds carefully 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 most 



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. Sure to satisfy. 20 cts. 



per pkt ; 3 pkts. for 50 cts. ; 7 pkts. for $1. 



Giants of California — Gigantic flowers (often five inches 



and more in diameter), of every conceivable shade of 



crimson, pink, lavender, pure white, etc. One of the chief

veinings in the throat. Many of the flowers have a clear 



yellow throat, while others have a pure vegetable black one, 



so deep that it seems to show no veining. 15 cts. per
