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. 
APPLE BLOSSOM. 1939 All-America Honorable Mention. This new 
Alldouble Victorious type is several shades softer than Loveliness, 
being a beautiful apple-blossom-pink. The color and habit of 
growth are very uniform, the plants being dwarf, 12 to 15 inches 
high, covered with large, double, fringed flowers. Small percentage 
will be the Carnation type. This variety is undoubtedly another 
valuable addition to the popular Alldouble Petunias and can be 
highly recommended for pot-plants or for bedding. Pkt, 50c.; 
$1.50 per large pkt. 
Alldouble Orchid Beauty. All-America Award oj Merit. This new 
color in the Alldouble Petunias is a delightful shade of orchid, 
and should prove very popular, as it blends beautifully with the 
pink colors in this group. Habit of growth is dwarf and compact, 
and the flowers are large and fully double. Pkt. 50c.; $1.50 per 
large pkt.

HOW TO SOW PETUNIA SEED 
The seed of Double Petunias is very fine; consequently it should 
never be sown in the open ground, as a heavy rain will wash it away. 
Sow the seed inside in flats or pots, using a mixture of finely sifted 
soil, witjh the addition of some sand. Thoroughly water the soil 
and then lightly scatter the seed on the surface. Do not cover the 
seed with soil. The receptacle should be covered with a sheet of 
newspaper and a pane of glass, and kept in a warrn location until 
the seedlings start to grow. It is important not to discard the small 
seedlings, as these usually produce the best double flowers.
