Petunia, All Double Victorious 
LARGE DOUBLE FLOWERING 
The latest development in Double Petunias is the new all¬ 
double strain which produces 100% double flowers. We offer the 
following three selected varieties in this strain and feel quite certain 
that they will prove a sensation with the florist trade, especially for 
pot plants for Mother’s and Decoration Day. 
DWARF ALL DOUBLE VICTORIOUS MIXED. A giant mixed 
Petunia which produces 100% double flowered plants. The habit 
of growth is very dwarf and compact, the flowers large and fully 
double in many brilliant and fancy colorings; very free flowering; 
an exceptionally fine type for pot culture as the plants seldom 
grow more than 10 inches in height. Half trade pkt., $1.00; 
$2.00 per trade pkt.; 3 trade pkts., $5.00. 
CARMINE QUEEN (World Beauty) (All Double). An excep¬ 
tionally fine dwarf type; color a beautiful rosy carmine, flowers 
very double; other characteristics same as above variety. Half 
trade pkt., $1.00; $2.00 per trade pkt.; 3 trade pkts., $5.00. 
WHITE QUEEN (All Double). Pure white flowers, very double 
and beautifully fringed; extra dwarf and free flowering. Half 
trade pkt., $1.00; $2.00 per trade pkt.; 3 trade pkts., $5.00. 
The above varieties are originations of Mr. T. Sakata. 
The following Double varieties are a splendid strain producing 
an average of 60-70% doubles. 
(Note: It is important not to discard the small seedlings as 
these usually produce the best double flowers.)
