NOTICE: 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, 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 breed, or requests for replacements. If 
carefully handled we know the seed will grow.
