 the first season if started early inside and later transplanted out- 

 doors. The plants have shiny green leaves and bear large spikes of 

 gayly colored tubular flowers. The blossoms come in a wide range 

 of colors, and their light colored throats are often beautifully 

 spotted. Bloom during a long period.

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 bi'illiant 

 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. 



Large Flowered or Balcony (15 in.) The flowers are larger than 

 those of regular Hybrida type. Splendid for flower boxes or to 

 overhang a terrace.
