PETUNIAS 
Petunias are showy in beds, and bloom continu- 
ously throughout the summer. Sow the seed in pots 
or flats in the house or hotbed in February or March, 
or in the garden as soon as the soil is warm. Cover 
the seed but lightly, as it is very fine. 
California Giants. A magnificent strain with very 
large, deep-throated flowers, exquisitely ruffled and 
fringed at the edges. The individual flowers are often 
4 to 5 inches across, with deep, wide throats, but their 
great merit lies in the tremendous variety of colors, 
shades, and markings, in most beautiful combinations. 
Very effective for beds and borders. Pkt. 25 cts. 
Schling's Superb Giant Double Fringed Mixed. 
The finest strain of double Petunias in existence. The 
flowers are very large, full, symmetrically formed, with 
the edges of the petals beautifully fringed. About 
50 per cent double flowers may be expected, but 
those that do come single are of the largest kind. In 
transplanting, it is important to pick out the weaker 
seedlings, as they are most likely to give the finest 
double flowers. Pkt. 50 cts.

ANNUAL POPPIES 
Sow the seed where you want them to grow be- 
cause it is difficult to transplant them. They grow 
everywhere and almost under all conditions. Large 
plantings however are most effective. 
Schling's New Double Hybrids. 
Gorgeous in coloring, giant in size. Beautifully 
fringed, and altogether far superior in every way to 
any other Poppy in existence. While this strain of 
Poppies produced by Mr. Schling is far superior to 
all other existing sorts, its greatest value lies in the 
substance or lasting qualities of its flowers. All 
other Poppies will last but a few days when cut; 
this variety, however, will last for fully a week in 
a vase. The blooms are as large as peonies, and 
appear mostly in soft shades of pink, white, red, 
terra-cotta, some of them beautifully striped and 
penciled, nearly all of them double and finely 
fringed. 4 ft. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. $1. l Aoz. SI.
