PETUNIAS 



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 requiring a good soil and sunny 

 position. It is best to sow them indoors and transplant to the open 

 in May. :The Single Bedding kinds 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 hybridization.
