 display, Phlox is invaluable. The profusion

Petunias 



Our New Fancy Flowering Strain 



This is unrjuostionably the finest and 

 most valuable strain of Petunias in <-xist- 

 ence. Kvery 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 moro 

 than the same weight of gold. The colors 

 range from pure white through the deli- 

 cate shades of rose to deep pink; our mix- 

 ture 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 ets. per pkt.; .3 pkts.

 flowers (often five inches and more in dia- 

 meter), of every conceivable shade of 

 erimson, pink, lavender, pure white, etc.

 deep throat and diversity of vrlnings 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 ets. per 

 pkt.; 2 pkts. for 25 ets.
