any. The very fine lavender, rose, cerise, and light 
blue shades deserve special mention. This mixture is 
particularly fine for the greenhouse or for frames, 
but will do just as well out in the open. Pkt. 25c. 
PETUNIA 
Petunias are unsurpassed for massing in beds. 
They are also used along walks and driveways and 
are often grown in window boxes. Their richness of 
color, duration of bloom and easy culture will al¬ 
ways make them popular. They endure drought ex¬ 
ceptionally well. The seed we offer is the result of 
careful hybridization and can be depended upon to 
give as large a proportion of double flowers as any. 
In some strains the flowers are very large, meas¬ 
uring four to five inches across ; in others, they are 
deeply fringed; still others have star-like markings 
radiating from the throat and extending nearly or 
quite to the outer margin of the blossom; again, 
others have full, double flowers. The colors range 
from white to deep red-purple and are variously 
striped and blotched.
