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 l,arge-flo^ering Petunias. Note.—It is well known that seed saved from the most carefidly hybridized flowers produces hut a small percent- age of double flowers, the balance being singles of unnsu- alhi fine quality. The weaker seedlings should be carefully saved, as these invariably produce the finest double flowers. The same is true of the single sorts, the large, strong seed- lings usually being weedy, while the, at first, weaker seed- lings produce the very finest flowers of best colorings. It is best to sow Petunias indoors and transplant to the open in May. The Single Bedding kinds can be soion right out of doors ill. May. PER PKT. Dreer's Superb Double^fringed.
