The Petunia is a plant of many uses. It thrives as well on the seashore as on high 

 mountainous altitudes; it adapts itself to formal or informal gardens, and can be used in the 

 perennial border or rock garden to produce spots of color during the summer months. ' The 

 Petunia combines well with most garden flowers, and a garden composed entirely of Petunias 

 is indeed a gladsome thing.
