PETUNIAS, Double Varieties. S"F^o1^'yo°c%^fJ. 
No class of plants produce more gorgeous and showy blossoms and flowers more 
freelv than these beautiful annuals. Even the common mi.xed single seeds produce a 
grand profusion of bloom the first season from sowing. The plants which we offer, 
however produce blooms of the largest size, double, and of the most bcautilul and 
striking colors. Thev are grown from cuttings, not from seed, thus preserving the 
Durit V of tvpe, and make excellent pot plants and areetiually valuable for l)eds, boxes, 
vases etc "The petunia blooms most profusely from new branches. If the old branches 
are kept cut back and the plant given frenuent applications of liquid manure, the best 
results will be obtained. ^ ^ , , ^- j
