Hybrida Petunias with their clear, bright colors and 

 profusion of bloom give a wonderful effect. This 

 border is edged with dainty Alyssum procumbens. 



PETUNIA [hA] What flowers succeed under more unfavorable con- 

 ditions than Petunias? And what flowers lend themselves to more 

 uses? When massed in beds they truly form "a sea of color." As 

 low border plants they are kaleidoscopic in their shades and tints. 

 In window boxes or overhanging a terrace wall they are brilliant 

 trailers. They make good house plants too, the fringed and double 

 flowering varieties supplying magnificent blossoms. These low- 

 spreading plants with their trumpet flowers love the sunshine, they 

 often bloom within two months after seed is sown, and when frost 

 comes they will still be making a brave display. 



Hybrida [2 ft.] Bushy plants of great value for massing in beds or 

 grouping in the border to replace early spring flowers. While the 

 single flowers are not particularly large, their great number makes 

 a gorgeous show.

Nana Erecta [14 in.] As an edging, or for dotting the front of a

Giant Ruffled and Fringed [14 in.] These single blossoms are im- 

 mense. Because of tlie vigor that goes into the blossoms, the 

 plants themselves are often relatively small. The flowers are all 

 gracefully fringed or ruffled at the flaring edge of their trumpets. 

 They come in colors that are rich and gorgeous and are usually deli- 

 cately veined inside their wide open throats.

Balcony or Trailing [15 in.] To droop over the edge of a window box 

 or to overhang a terrace, these are the best Petunias to select. They 

 differ from the bushy varieties by producing longer, more .spreading 

 plants. In their several colors the single flowers are very gay, either 

 alone or in combination. Larger flowered than the Hybrida type.

PHACELIA [hA-8 in.] Blue flowering plants are always welcome. 

 This low-growing sort is a desirable plant for edgings and for rock 

 gardens. It is compact, has rich green foliage, and bears a wealth 

 of spi'eading bell-shaped flowers in clusters. In color they are a 

 vivid gentian blue relieved at the throats by prominent wliite 

 anthers. They are among the earliest of annual bloomers and last 

 throughout the summer.
