Petunias—Giants of California. DOUBLE LARGE-FLOWERING PETUNIAS Our strains of double flowering Petunias are unsurpassed for beauty and size of flowers and produce a large percentage of double flowers. It is well known that seed saved from the most carefully hybridized flowers produce but a small percentage of double flowers, the balance being single of unusually fine quality. The weaker seedlings should be carefully saved, as these invar- iably produce the finest double flowers. The same is true 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. It is best to sow Petunias indoors and transplant to the open in May. The Single Bedding kinds can be sown right out of doors in May.
