DREER'S SUPERB DOUBLE FRINGED PETUNIAS. For many years we have made a specialty of Double Petunias, growing about five thousand seedlings annually, from which we select the choicest for propagation. We have discarded the plain-edged sorts, as the fringed and laced varieties listed below are very much superior. AarellUS. Mottled purplish crimson and white. Excelsior. White, with deep purple mottled centre. Jubilee. White, suffused with rose and mottled with purplish crimson. Lovely. Pure white, suffused with delicate pink on the edges. Majestic.
