Petunias stand pre-eminent as a hardy, beautiful, all purpose flowering plant. Readily started from seed, they soon come 
into bloom, becoming a glowing mass of exquisite, showy, 
and deliciously fragrant flowers, 
in bloom from early summer 
until frost. They may be started in fall or early winter indoors to make blooming window plants for late winter and very early 
spring. Don’t omit these beauties from your list. 
GIANT DOUBLE PETUNIAS Now in Complete Color Range 
With the Return of the foreign-grown All Double Victorious Strain, which 
has not been available since 1943, and with the American-Grown All Amer- 
ican All Doubles introduced in the past few years, we are glad to offer 
again a complete color range in Double Petunias. The seeds are necessarily 
very expensive due to the fact that they have to be carefully hand pollin- 
ated and there is real art and scientific knowledge required to produce seed 
which will give consistently Double flowers. The seed are smaller and the 
seedlings weaker than the Single kinds, so require more care in starting.

planting, and the little seeds planted on the surface of the soil. Then fol- 
low directions on pg. 3 and 4 of the ‘“‘Gardener’s Handbook’’ sent free with 
your order. The seeds are very tiny, and the 25c packets, contain only a 
few seeds as noted in the description. We suggest that you obtain the larger 
packets, but list the 25c packets in keeping with our price policy. After 
the All Double Petunias get past the baby plant stage they are quite vigorous 
and can "'take it'' even where summers are hot.
