WALLER-FRANKLIN SEED COMPANY 

OUR DOUBLE PETUNIA 
PROGRAM 
Every operation connected with the production of Double 
Petunia seed, from the seed sowing in flats to the transplant- 
ing into the field, and the pollination of every bloom to the 
handpicking of every seed pod, requires highly skilled hand 
labor. 
All types of labor are extremely short in this production 
- area. When field labor is available, it is primarily for use 
on the growing of food crops only. 
In view of this situation, we shall, for crop of 1944 and 
perhaps tor the duration, not attempt the usual large com- 
mercial blocks of Double Petunia. 
We shall, however, grow sizable stock seed production 
blocks of the separate colors and Mixed. This program will 
enable us to perpetuate and continue to improve existing 
strains and to work to the end of later on, when field labor 
becomes somewhat more plentiful, being able to offer still 
better varieties.
