A bed of Petunias means color all summer long 
Micheirs Petunias 
For freedom of bloom, variety of color, and effectiveness, the Petunia has few equals, either for the flower garden, porch or window- 
box. They commence blooming early and continue until killed by frost. We call special attention to our Large-flowering strains, 
which for size and brilliancy of coloring cannot be surpassed.
