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 rea- 
son, 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.
