Carters’ “Emperor and Empress” Prize Petunia. 
SUPERB COLOURS. DELICIOUS SCENT. GRAND SIZE. ABUNDANT BLOSSOM. 
Gknkkai. Remarks, Perhaps there is no flower in which the beneficial results of careful cultivation and cross fertilisation are more evident than in the beautiful 
fragrant Petunia; the small (lower of the P. phccnicea has become transformed into the grand blossoms and brilliant colours of our EMPRESS and EMPEROR strain. We 
have tested every other so-called first-class variety, and, with few exceptions, have found none to equal them, and in no case any superior.
