Petunia ahh 



Few flowers are more desirable for beds, porch- 

 boxes, or hanging-baskets than Petunias. They 

 are easy to grow and bloom profusely from early 

 summer to frost. Best results are secured by 

 starting the seed indoors in March, particularly 

 with the Giant- flowered varieties, while the 

 smaller- flowered bedding sorts will give ex- 

 cellent results if sown in May in the place where 

 they are to bloom. Plant in ver\- shallow drill? 

 and cover with papers or bagging to prevent 

 washing during heavy rains. 



GIANT-FLOWERED SINGLE and DOUBLE 

 VARIETIES. Our strain of these magnificent 

 Petunias is better than ever this year, all 

 plants having been carefully cross-fertilized, 

 and are of the true dwarf upright- growing 

 t\-pe. We believe that a better strain does not 

 exist. Seed should be started indoors and 

 care taken that ants do not have access to 

 the seeds as they will carry them off.
