Large Double-flowering Varieties 
The latest development in Double Petunias is the new Alldouble 
strain which produces 100 per cent double flowers. We offer the following 
selected varieties in this strain and feel quite certain that they will prove 
a sensation with the florist trade, especially for pot-plants for Mother’s 
and Decoration Day. 
ALLDOUBLE ORCHID BEAUTY. 1938 ^-America Novelty. A 
decidedly new shade in the Alldouble Petunias. The habit of growth 
is dwarf and compact and flowers large and fully double. The color 
is a beautiful shade of orchid, which should prove very popular as it 
blends beautifully with the pink colors in this group. 
y 2 trade pkt. (300 seeds) $1.25; $2.00 per trade pkt. (600 seeds); 
3 trade pkts. $6.00. 
Owing to the scarcity of seed, this variety is not included in the 
combination offer of three packets for $5.00. 
ALLDOUBLE GAIETY. Special Mention, 1938 All-America Selections. 
Rose-red and white, beautifully frilled. A popular color combination. 
trade pkt. $1.00; $2.00 per trade pkt.; 3 trade pkts. $5.00 
DWARF ALLDOUBLE VICTORIOUS, MIXED. A giant mixed 
Petunia which produces 100 per cent double-flowered plants. The 
habit of growth is very dwarf and compact, the flowers large and fully 
double in many brilliant and fancy colorings, and it is very free flower¬ 
ing. An exceptionally fine type for pot-culture as the plants seldom 
grow more than 10 inches high. 
trade pkt. $1.00; $2.00 per trade pkt.; 3 trade pkts. $5.00; $6.00 per ^oz. 
ALLDOUBLE, AMARANTH-RED. Bright amaranth-red, a new color

ALLDOUBLE, LOVELINESS. Extra dwarf. Identical in habit to the 
popular Carmine Queen, with the exception of the color, which is a clear 
La-France-pink. A valuable addition to this group and especially useful 
to florists. 
Vi trade pkt. $1.00; $2.00 per trade pkt.; 3 trade pkts. $5.00

The above varieties are originations of Mr. T. Sakata. 
The following Double varieties are a splendid strain producing an 
average of 60 to 70 per cent doubles. 
NOTE. It is important not to discard the small seedlings, as these 
usually produce the best double flowers. 
Double Fringed, Mixed. Superbly colored flowers of mammoth size. 
500 seeds 75c.; $1.50 per 1000 seeds 
Please note. Double Petunias are a highly bred type, and the seed 
is not as vigorous in growth as that of single strains. Seed of all our 
Double Petunias has been carefully tested in soil and the germination 
has been found to average 70 to 80 per cent. For this reason, and because 
of its high cost, we cannot entertain claims on non-germination of this 
seed, or requests for replacements. If carefully handled, we know the 
seed will grow.
