For outdoor decoration or house culture few plants equal the Petunia in effectiveness. They commence flowering early and continue a sheet of bloom throughout the whole season until killed by frost; easily cultivated, only requiring a good soil and sunny position. We have long been celebrated for our magnifi cent strains of both the single and double varieties, which we endeavor to improve each year by careful selection and hybrid- ization. We have tested samples received from the leading Petunia specialists of the world, and can safely say without fear of contradiction that our strain is the best that can be secured from any source at any price. DOUBLE VARIETIES. Note.âIt is well known that seed saved from the most carefully hybridized flowers produces but a small percent- age of double flowers, the balance being singles of unusu- ally fine quality. The weaker seedlings should be care- fully saved, as these invariably produce the finest double flowers. The same is true, in a measure, of the single sorts, the large, strong seedlings usually being weedy, while the, at first, weaker seedlings produce the very finest flowers of best colorings. 3590 Dreer's Superb Double Fringed.
