Che Finest Flower Seed 
Due to the exigencies of war the production of new novelty 
flowers in the United States was completely curtailed by order 
of the government directing the production of vitally needed 
vegetable seed. The manpower situation also precluded the pos- 
‘sibility of the intensive work that is required in the hybridization 
and development of new flower seed novelties. 
It has taken several years since the cessation of hostilities to 
enable the hybridizers to produce sufficient seed of new and 
interesting varieties that could be offered to the flower loving 
public. 
We offer several exclusive flower seed novelties that are as 
outstanding as any we have ever introduced. We are very proud 
of the wonderful All-Double Strain of Petunia which we offer 
in guaranteed true colors and in a glorious mixture. 
FIVE GLORIOUS ALL-DOUBLE PETUNIAS (100%)
