N Oo T | CE » 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, 
October, 1944, and the germination has been found to average 
70 to 80 per cent. For this reason, 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.
