14 Hummert’s Highest Quality Flower SEEDS for Florists 

SELECTED PETUNIAS 
Good Petunias are becoming more in demand each 
year, the medium and dwarf varieties for bedding, and 
the Fringed and Double as a pot plant for Mother's 
Day Sales. 
To grow good Petunias you must have rich soil. Be- 
fore sowing the seed we recommend treating the soil 
with hot water to kill all fungi and weed seed in the soil. 
Our Petunia seeds are of the finest quality, grown by 
the best growers in California, from selected plants, 
and are hand pollenized; no matter how careful 
the selection, you sometimes will find a few plants 
which revert to the old type; these usually bloom first. 
This is a natural habit of Petunias. 
All-Double Dwarf 
These plants are remarkably uniform in habit, pro- 
ducing a wonderful assortment of brilliant and fancy 
colorings. They produce very large, fully doubled flow- 
ers. As they seldom grow more than 10 inches in 
height, they are very suitable for pot plant sales. 
Amaranth Red. A strong outstanding red. 
Brilliancy. Of uniform growth and doubleness. A 
brighter rose than the popular World Beauty and 
the white variegation which often appears on the 
latter has been eliminated. 
Gaiety. Rose-red and white with beautifully frilled 
petals. 
Loveliness Fringed. Clear pink. Very double compact 
habit. 
Rose-Carmine (World Beauty Pink Perfection). Fringed 
bright carmine flowers. 
Pure White. A companion to Loveliness. This is one 
of the best double fringed white Petunias. 
All-Double Dwarf Giant Fringed Mixed. The flowers 
are very large, exquisitely ruffled and fringed. 
Price on the All-Double varieties: 13 Tr. pkt. (500 
seeds), $1.25; 1 Tr. pkt. (1000 seeds), $2.50.
