PETUNIAS, Double Varieties. |>nil?5bc°: no 
class of plants produces more gorgeovLs and showy blos.soms and flowers 
more f rcelv than these beautiful annuals. Even the common mi.xod single 
seeds produce a grand profusion of bloom the flrst season from sowing . 
The plants which we offer, however, produce blooms of the largest size, 
double, and of the most iMsautiful and striking colors. They are grown 
from cuttings, not from seed, thuspresorving the purity of type, and make 
excellent pot plants and are equally valuable for beds, boxes, vases, etc.. 
The petunia blooms most profusely from new branches. If the old branches 
are kept cut back and the plant ^iven frequent applications of liquid 
manure, the best results will lie obtained.
