ALL-DOUBLE 
DE LUXE 
PETUNIAS 
VICTORIOUS STRAIN 
This outstanding strain produces 100 
percent double flowering Petunias; the 
percentage of somewhat smaller flower¬ 
ing doubles does not exceed 25 percent, 
and the balance will be all large flower¬ 
ing fringed doubles with flowers often 
measuring 5 inches across. In addition 
to their desirability for pot plants and 
bedding they provide valuable cut flow¬ 
ers for the retail grower. Needless to 
say, this is the strain par excellence, 
and well worth the grower's time and 
greenhouse space.

WHEN PLANTING SMALL SEEDS If small seeds such as those of Petunias, are mixed with finely sifted soil, better results are obtained 
than by broadcasting the seed and covering with soil. The soil should be well firmed, then covered 
with burlap, and watered with a fine spray. It is necessary to spray once or twice a day to keep the ground damp. In a short time the seeds 
sprout. As soon as they come through the soil the burlap should be removed.
