PETUNIA [hA] What flowers succeed under more unfavorable conditions than Petunias? And what flowers lend themselves to 

 more uses? V\ hen massed in beds they truly form "a sea of color." As low border plants they are kaleidoscopic in their 

 shades and tmts. In wmdow boxes or overhanging a terrace wall they are brilliant trailers. They make good house plants, 

 too, the frmged and double flowermg varieties supplying magnificent blossoms. These low-spreading plants with their 



trumpet flowers love the sunshine, they often 

 bloom within 2 months after seed is sown, 

 and when frost comes they will still be mak- 

 ing a brave display.
