Gentlemen: In looking over your attractive 1937 cata¬ 
logue, I noticed my letter which I wrote you in February, 
1936, wherein I sort of “bragged” about my 4-inch No. 42 
Petunia plants. Now I really am going to brag. The final 
results were terrific. I was awarded a blue ribbon by my 
garden club and the sweepstakes at the Annual Flower Show 
held here in May. Without a doubt they were considered the 
most outstanding flower and really caused quite a sensation. 
Everybody wanted to know where I purchased the seeds and 
how I grew them. I told them they were your seeds and fol¬ 
lowed your instructions which are in detail in your catalogue. 
If more seed houses took the trouble to tell flower lovers 
just how to grow plants as you do we would all be successful. 
I also had very lovely double Shasta Daisies. 
You deserve a great deal of credit and thanks for your 
effort in helping people with your detailed instructions on 
planting. I, for one, will buy whatever seeds you have and 
suggest the same to my friends. Yours very truly, 
ANNA L. CRIDER. 
DOUBLE PETUNIAS 
Note: All of our double Petunia seeds are raised 
from double Petunias and so give the highest per¬ 
centage of double seedlings. The slowest and poor¬ 
est seedlings will turn out the best doubles.

No. 25. COPPER RED DOUBLE.— A fine 
new color which attracts immediate 
attention. About four inches in 
diameter . $1.00 $.50 
No. 26. GREEN EDGED DOUBLE.— This 
type comes in all colors but all have 
a seam around the petals which is 
grass green. Mr. Diener worked on 
this variety for the last eight years 
to bring it to perfection, as it was at 
first somewhat weak. The Green 
Edged variety was a sensation at the 
World’s Fair at Chicago in 1934. It 
will attract attention everywhere.... 1.00 .50

Gentlemen: Your Petunias are unquestionably the most 
beautiful we have ever seen—or raised. Yours very truly,
