D veer's Garden Calendar. 



SINGLE PETUNIA. 



We offer a very choice collection, selected 

 from many hundreds of finest seedlings, varying 

 through all the shades of crimson, rose and pur- 

 ple, to the purest white, striped, mottled, self- 

 colored, and fringed. A solid bed of single petu^ 

 nia plants makes a very effective show of flowers 

 during the entire season, and one that suffers 

 but little on account of drought or too much 

 rain. 15 cts. ; $1.50 per doz. 



NEW AND CHOICE DOUBLE PETUNIA. 



Having made the hybridizing of the Petunia a 

 specialty for many years, with the view of obtain- 

 ing the best in this country or Europe, we annu- 

 ally present a new set carefully selected from a 

 plantation of over 5,000 seedlings, more than 20 

 per cent, of which have proven double. The
