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.
