DWARF GIANTS OF CALIFORNIA 



2451 (See illustration on front cover.) The largest 

 and most colorful Petunia. Plants of upright bushy 

 growth, bearing immense flowers of every con- 

 ceivable Petunia shade, many delicately veined 

 with contrasting colors. Pkt., 35c. 



Petunias, in the fine strains available today, are one of 

 our finest summer flowers. For bedding they are unsur- 

 passed, and are almost indispensable for porch and 

 window boxes. 



Culture. The giant varieties are best started indoors in Feb- 

 ruary or March, and transplanted in May to the place where they 

 are to bloom, while the bedding sorts will give excellent results if 

 sown in the open in April or May. 



Petunia seeds are very fine and should be sown in very shallow 

 drills. The best method it In sow on lop of the soil, press down 

 firmly with a smooth board, water, and then cover with cheese- 

 cloth or paper until the seedlings show. Keep well watered at all 

 times, and transplant as soon as large enough to handle.
