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 sucha 
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 com- 
pact 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 in May 
or as soon as the weather has become settled and warm. The seed is 
very minute, and should be sown practically on the surface of nicely 
prepared soil and merely pressed in. It will greatly aid in the even dis- 
tribution of the seed if mixed with sand or flour. 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.
