Petunia, Dwarf, 



Petunias 



Petunias, in the fine strains available to- 

 day, are one of our finest summer flowers. 

 For bedding they are unsurpassed, and are 

 almost indispensable for porch and window 

 boxes. 



CUIiTURE. The Giant varieties are best 

 started indoors in February or March, and 

 transplanted in May to the place where they 

 are to bloom, while the Bedding sorts will 

 give excellent results if sown in the open 

 in April or May. 



Petunia seeds are very fine and should be 

 sown in very shallow drills. The best method 

 is to sow on top of the soil, press down 

 firmly with a smooth board, water, and then 

 cover with cheesecloth or paper until the 

 seedlings show. Keep well watered at all 

 times, and transplant as soon as large 

 enoueh to hanrll*^.
