Beautiful Bedding Petunias 



For outdoor decoration, porch, or window boxes, or any 

 position where a mass of color is wanted, we do not know of 

 any plant that equals the Bedding Petunias for effectiveness, 

 and that will give such a wealth of charming color over so 

 long a season. They begin flowering early and continue a 

 sheet of bloom without interruption until killed by frost. 

 The six Bedding sorts offered below were selected for their 

 compact growth and distinct coloring. To secure the longest 

 season of bloom, the seed should be started indoors or in a 

 hot-bed in March or April, or may be sown directly where 

 they are wanted to bloom as soon as the weather has become 

 settled and warm. For best results the plants should be set 

 about a foot apart, and preferably given a sunny position. 

 The large-flowering Single and Double Fringed, and Ruffled 

 sorts will be found offered on page 101. per per
