PETUNIA DOUBLE MARVELS 
Surprisingly beautiful, robust in growth, producing from 
seed better than seventy per cent of double flowers. It is 
impossible to fully describe the many varieties in form and 
color—brilliant crimson, pink, blue, lavender, white, etc. The 
blooms are never less than three inches in diameter and many 
are five inches across. They are frilled, ruffled and fluted; 
of unequaled beauty. Will prove a much better paying flower 
to the florist than geraniums and we believe that in time 
will replace geraniums to a large extent as a bedding plant. 
Florists that raised Double Marvels for trial had one regret 
only—that they did not sow and produce more plants as 
Double Marvels were selling fast and at double the price 
received for geraniums. Price: 500 seeds $1.00; 1,000 seeds 
$1.75; 5000 seeds $8.00; 10,000 seeds $15.00. T. pkt. 50c.

Seeds with HARD SHELL like canna, sweet peas, will 
sprout quickly if placed in ice cold water for 3 hours the 
water drained, the seeds dropped in boiling water for 3 to 10 
seconds. Bring the water to boiling point, take off the fire, 
drop the ice cold seeds in, stir up the seeds with a spoon and 
immediately drain the hot water off. That cracks the shells
