RICHARD DIENER, OXNARD. CALIFORNIA, U. S. A. 
PETUNIA SEEDS 
This year our petunia seeds are of the highest quality that we have ever produced. We have taken more 
land on a nearby ranch for our petunia raising as the home place was filled with other crops. We have 
six full acres in petunias this year and with the exception of a very few varieties we have plenty of seeds 
on hand. We have no petunia seeds left from last season as they were entirely sold out. The sales in 
petunia seeds alone were over $20,000 last winter, which, I believe, is more petunia sales than those made 
by any other firm in this country or elsewhere in petunia seeds alone. We have the finest testimonials 
from every state in the Union, as well as foreign countries, and we have spared no expense and effort to get 
the highest quality to satisfy our customers. There is a great amount of varieties on the market now, 
many of which are a selection of our varieties and so near our varieties. We have only one variety of each 
color in the single as well as the double, which makes it easier for anyone to select his order of petunias, 
and what we offer is the best in every class. Although the seeds are raised from the very finest selected 
plants and are all hand pollenized, there are always some which revert to the old type, the single, small 
flowered purple. This is a natural habit of the petunias and no way has been found yet to avoid this. 
It is queer that these reverted ones flower first and give the impression that all will be so, but the reversions 
average only about 7 per cent. The other 93 per cent
