PETUNIA. 
Petunias are unsurpassed for massing in beds. Their richness of 
color, duration of bloom, and easy culture, will always render them 
popular. They do well sown in open border in spring, or earlier in 
cold frame or hot bed, and transplanted eighteen inches apart. 
Tender perennial, but bloom profusely the first season. One and a-half 
feet high.
