PETUNIA, bright, cheerful colors 
These magnificent petunias with their huge blossoms 
are gorgeous; velvety, exotic creations of appealing charm, 
and spicy fragrance. These deep throated beauties with their 
petals ruffled, fringed or frilled, in both the single and the 
doubled forms, often measure five inches in diameter and 
are worth the bit of care it takes to grow them. 
The seed of these varieties is very small and quite ex¬ 
pensive so should be sowed in seed pans or flats and later 
transplanted to the garden.

flowers but there are a few

50c of anybody’s money. The 
flowers will average from 3 to 
4 inches across. This Gay Pa¬

Giant Double Petunias 
599 Hibiscus - Flowered, Im¬ 
proved Giant Double. Mixed. An 
extra fine strain of giant flow¬ 
ered double petunias in a wide 
range of colors running about 
60% double and 20% semi¬ 
double. We have yet to find a 
petunia producing 100% doubles 
from seed and by comparative 
tests we have found none bet¬ 
ter than our strain. In a test 
planting from seed this strain 
produced 602 full doubles, 490 
semi-doubles and 89 singles and 
that’s a record of quality hard 
to beat. Save the small seed¬ 
lings with the crumpled leaves, 
they will produce the choice 
doubles. Pkt. 75c.
