AlloDouble Petunias 
Comes true from seed, most of the plants producing very 
large, double, mostly fringed flowers. The percentage of 
plants that produce carnation type or semi-double flowers is 
very small. The plants are of compact habit of growth, ex¬ 
tremely floriferous. Of great importance to the florist is the 
quality of the seed. The seed we offer is originator s seed, 
the best obtainable. New crop seed is ready in October. 
Sow Double Petunia early—from November to middle of Jan¬ 
uary—to produce plants in full bloom for Mother s Day and 
for spring sales.

Petunia Double Marvels 
Double Petunia 
While a fair percentage of Double Petunia seed will pro¬ 
duce double flowers, some will not, but the singles will be 
of unusual fine quality, richly colored and finely marked. The 
weaker seedlings should be carefully saved as these general¬ 
ly produce the finest double flowers. Our mixture Is com¬ 
posed of the best and largest strains grown. 
The seed we offer is the BEST German grown seed, pro¬ 
ducing a fair percentage of double flowers, the balance are 
single flowers of the finest kind, extra large, many are fringed ' 
and they come in many colors. The reason why this strain 
of double petunia should be used by the florist is that from 
this German strain you will get larger flowers than so far 
found in the All Double strain, also you will get a much wider 
range of colors. Try both strains. As a flower grower you 
should know what is what in Petunias and the best way to 
find out is to grow both All Double as well as th e ol d strain 
and then act accordingly. DOUBLE FRIXGED MIXED. T. 
pkt. 25c; 500 seeds 65c; 1000 seeds $1.00; 1/64 oz. $3.50. 
PETUNIA DOUBLE MARVELS 
Surprisingly beautiful, robust in growth, producing from 
seed better than seventy per cent of double flowers. It is 
impossible to fully describe the many varieties in form and 
color—brilliant crimson, pink, blue, lavender, white, etc. The 
blooms are never less than three inches in diameter and many 
are five inches across. They are frilled, ruffled and fluted; I 
of unequaled beauty. Will prove a much better paying flower 
to the florist than geraniums and we believe that in time 
will replace geraniums to a large extent as a bedding plant. i 
Florists that raised Double Marvels for trial had one regret i 
only—that they did not sow and produce more plants as 
Double Marvels were selling fast and at double the price 
received for geraniums. Price; 500 seeds 75c; 1,000 seeds 
$1.25; 5000 seeds $4.00; T. pkt. 30c.
