Petunias. 
This list of Petunias we consider as much supe- 
rior to anything yet offered as the old lists were 
to the common garden varieties. They have been 
carefully selected from over 20,000 fine seedlings, 
and so fine were they that although offered a large 
sum for the six yarieties described belovf,yet we 
preferred to hold on to them and give our own cus- 
tomers the opportunity of securing them first. 
They are the greatest norelties ever offered in this 
•r any other country.

sion. The prevailing colors are white, peach crimson, carmine and pitrplish velvet, all

striking novelties of the season and will vie m comparison to our most Heautiful Pelar- 
gonium or Lady Washington geranium. Price 35 cents each.
