Michell’s PETUNIAS 
For freedom of bloom, variety of color, and effectiveness, the Petunia has few equals, for the flower 
garden, porch or window box. They commence blooming early and continue until killed by frost.. 
We call 
special attention to our Large-Flowering Strains, which for size and brilliancy of coloring cannot be surpassed.
