Petunia Grandiflora Superbissima, 



Ornamental foliage plants similar to Coleus. Fine 

 for bedding with silver leaved plants. Foliage metallic 

 bronze ; nothing else like it. Half-hardy annual. 

 Perilla, atropurpurea laciniata 5 



Petunias are unsurpassed, if indeed equalled for mass- 

 ing in beds. Their richness of color, duration of bloom, 

 and easy culture, will always render them popular. They 

 will do well sown in open border in spring, or earlier in 

 cold-frame or hot-bed, and transplanted eighteen inches 

 apart. By the latter process, they will come into bloom 

 much earlier, though they do perfectly well sown in 

 open ground. Be careful not to cover the small seeds 

 too deeply; they like a sandy loam. Tender perennial ; 

 one and a half feet high.

Remarkable for the brilliancy and abundance of their 

 large, terminal flowers, completely hiding the foliage. 

 The blossoms are of many colors, from pure white to 

 deepest purple, eyed and striped. For masses of sepa- 

 rate colors and for cutting for bouquets, they are unsur- 

 passed. The seed can be planted in open ground in 

 autumn or spring, or plants may be started in hot-bed 

 and transplanted. Give good, rich ground, and set 

 plants six inches apart each way. Hardy annual ; one 

 foot high.
