SCHLING'S GIANT DOUBLE FRINGED 
PETUNIAS 
The finest strain of double Petunias in existence. Veiy 
large, fully double, symmetrically formed flowers, all 
beautifully fringed. To produce seed of Double Petu- 
nias, the pollen from the double flower is transferred 
with a brush to the pistil of selected single flowers of 
giant size, from which all stamens have been carefully 
removed. The result of this fecundation produces the 
seed which will reproduce itself about 50 per cent double, 
but the flowers which do come single are all of the largest 
size. In transplanting it is well to pick out the weaker 
seedlings as they invariably produce the finest double 
flowers.
