PETUNIAS 
Petunias are showy in beds and bloom continuously throughout the summer. Sow the seed in pots or flats in 
the house or hotbed in February or March, or in the garden as soon as the soil is warm. Cover the seed but 
lightly, as it is very fine. 
CALIFORNIA GIANTS, SINGLE 
A magnificent strain with very large, deep- 
throated flowers, exquisitely ruffled and fringed 
at the edges, 4 to 5 inches across, with deep, 
wide throats. Finest Mixed, pkt. 50 cts. 
SCHLING’S GIANT VICTORIOUS 
DOUBLE FRINGED 
The finest strain of double Petunias in ex¬ 
istence. Very large, fully double, symmetrically 
formed flowers, all beautifully fringed. To 
produce seed of Double Petunias, each flower 
must be hand pollinated; the resulting seed will 
produce about 50 per cent double flowers, but the 
flowers which do come single are all of the largest 
size. In transplanting, save the weaker seedlings 
as they produce the finest double flowers.
