Bag eis and ost Improved Varieties ¥| 
Many lovely combinations can be produced with the vari- 
ous types of Petunias. They blend splendidly with Agera- 
tum, Antirrhinum, Begonias, Centaurea Cyanus and Cen- 
taurea Imperialis, Heliotrope, Annual Larkspur, Nemesia, ~ 
Phlox and others. The seed of all but the double varieties — 
may be sown directly in the open ground after danger from 
frost is over. Double Petunias should be started indoors 
during the early spring months. 
DOUBLE VARIETIES 
“GIANTS OF CALIFORNIA”, Double 
These are as large as Hollyhocks and very double. The 
edges are fringed, petals fluted and crinkled, intensifying and 
varying the colors with high lights and dark shadows. They 
come in a variety of colors—selfs, blotched, veined, margined, 
etc!; in short, these Double Petunias are unsurpassed by any 
other strain.

NOTE—tThis strain of Double-flowering Petunias does not pro- 
duce seed. The pollen from the doubles is transferred to the 
chosen singles which produce seed, so only about one-third of | 
the flowers will be double and these in the seeding stage are | 
always the weaklings of the batch and are the ones to be 
transplanted. -
