Petunias are unsurpassed for massing in beds. Their rich- 
ness of color, duration of bloom, and easy culture will always 
render them popular. They do well sown in open border in 
; 3 spring, or earlier in cold frame or hot bed, and transplanted 
eighteen inches apart. Tender perennial, but bloom profusely the first season. 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 care- 
fully fertilized by pollen from double ones. The seed we offer is the result of 
careful hybridization, and can be depended upon to give as large a proportion of 
double flowers as any.

color, containing bright red cherry like fruit which is superior 
to the ground cherry or husk tomato for making preserves.
