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 fringed 

 varieties,

double flowers.
