PETUNIA. If I were asked to select the best 
all-round flower for the ordinary home, I would 
unhesitatingly name the Petunia, and especially 
the Dwarf Compact Single-flowered. The plants 
are readily started from seeds, soon come into 
bloom, becoming a glowing mass of exquisite, 
showy, and deliciously fragrant flowers, and re¬ 
maining so throughout the season if not allowed 
to exhaust themselves by seeding. The plants will 
endure more neglect, suffer less from either wet 
or dry weather, and prove decorative to a degree 
surpassing that of any other flov/er. Then, too 
when once given a garden bed it will provide an 
abundance of plants every Spring from self-sown 
seeds. Still more, if plants are cut back and potted 
in Autumn, they will continue to bloom in a sunny 
window during Winter.

ed for porch boxes, pots, baskets, and urns. I of¬ 
fer the following: White, Rose, Dark Red, Red and 
White Starred, Violet Blue, and Mixed. 250 seeds. 
Netted Blue Gem, the finest of blue Balcony Petu¬ 
nias, good for beds, porch boxes, or pots. 
Miniature, Sin. A fine novelty; each plant becomes

Giant-flow'd Single. These are very much larger 
than the common hybrid Petunias, are more vigor¬ 
ous in growth and are spreading. While the firs, 
are fragrant and much admired, they are not free¬ 
ly produced, and the plants are not desirable for 
showy beds. However, the flowers are so attract¬ 
ive that they are indispensable with all lovers of 
Petunias. I offer seeds of the largest and most 
beautiful of the named sorts, some are plain and 
others are elegantly fringed, appearing almost 
double in form; these are known as Superbissima.
