; (Peony Roots are listed in our autumn Bulb Catalogue.) 
e Petunias are unsurpassed for massing in beds. They are also used along walks and driveways 
and are often grown in window boxes. Their richness of color, duration of bloom and culture 
e unla will always make them popular. They endure drought exceptionally well. The seed we offer is 
the result of careful hybridization and can be depended upon to give as largea proportion of 
double flowers as any. 
In some strains the flowers are very large, measuring four to five inches across; _in others, they are deeply fringed; still 
others have star-like markings radiating from the throat and extending nearly or quite to the outer margin of the blossom; 
seein others have full, double flowers. The colors range from white to deep red-purple and are variously striped and 
otched. 
Plant the seed, which is exceedingly fine, in a warm, open, sunny place. Seeds may be sown directly in the oper ground or 
for early results the plants may be started in cold frame, hot bed or in pots indoors, in a temperature averaging sixty to 
seventy degrees. Water with a fine spray and do 
not permit the seedlings to dry out. The plants are 
tender and should not be trusted in the open until 
danger of frost is over. Any good, friable garden 
soil, well pulverized and in good condition may 
be used, and the seed covered with about one- 
eighth to one-fourth inch of fine soil firmly pressed 
down. The rows should be two feet apart. Thin 
to eighteen inches apart. The plants begin to 
bloom when small and continue until cut off by © 
frost. Tender perennial, blooming the first year; 
about one and one-half feet high. 
Petunias may also be grown under glass in 
winter. The best method is to sow seeds late in 
summer and grow stocky plants in pots, but old 
plants can be lifted on the approach of cold weather, 
cut back and taken inside for winter bloom.
