PETUNIA 
(ASPARAGUS PERN) 
WE ARE HEADQUARTERS 
No plant in recent years has become more useful for decorative work than 
this. It has superseded many of its predecessors, driving them almost out of 
use. It is found equally useful for bouquets, festooning, and fern dishes. Good 
seed is always difficult to procure from the fact that very few growers allow any 
quantity of their fronds to stand uncut for seed purposes. 
The seed we offer is all grown under glass and is the pure Plumosus Nanus 
which germinates freely, producing large plants quickly. Price, new crop seed, 
per 100 $1.00, 250 seeds for $2.00, $7.50 per 1000; 500 seeds at 1000 rate. 
5000 seeds for $35.00 ; 10,000 seeds for $65.00 
Asparagus Sprengerl Seed. Per 100 15c., 1000 75c., 5000 $3.25.

ing, our strain of double petunias has reached a

cent, of double flowers of exquisite beauty and
