PETUNIAS 



101 



For outdoor decoration, porch or window boxes 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 rcciuiring a 

 good soil and sunny position. It is best to sow them indoors 

 and transplant to the open in May. The Single Bedding kindb 

 can be sown out of doors in May. We have long been 

 celebrated for our magnificent strains of both the large- 

 flowering single and double varieties, which we endeavor 

 to improve each year by careful selection and hybridi- 

 zation. 



We illustrate in colors and offer on page 57, six of the 

 best Bedding varieties.
