Petunia, Double Extra Large Flowering, Mixed. 

 1636 DOUBtiE EXTRA I^ARGE EliOWERING, MIXED, 



Double Fxtra Large Flowering petunias are without doubt the finest 

 ever offered to the public. For years I have made a specialty of this 

 strain, constantly improving it by selection. The flowers assume great- 

 er size and richness as time elapses, and the type ever becomes more 

 desirable. In color, shape, markings and texture it is all that can be de- 

 sired. The numerous petals are more or less folded, fringed and shaded 

 making a flO'Wer of unexcelled quality and beauty. Packet, 35 cents.

 remarkably fine addition to the class of giant flowered single petunias.

 deep blood red and a decided yellow. The outer portion is rose, the 

 veins are carmine and the throat is blood red. Badiatlng from the 

 throat in a large proportion of the blooms are five handsome yellow 

 blotches, making a more or less regular star, and producing a decidedly 

 novel and interesting effect. Paclcet, 30 cents; 3 paclcets, 50 cents.
