Petunias for All 



Petunias, in the fine strains available today, are one 

 of our finest summer flowers. For bedding they ar« 

 unsurpassed, and are almost indispensable for porch 

 and window boxes. 



Culture. The giant varieties are best started indoors 

 in February 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 is to sow on top 

 of the soil, press down firmly with a smooth board, 

 water, and then cover with cheesecloth or paper until 

 the seedlings show. Keep well watered at all times, and 

 transplant as soon as large enough to handle.
