30 Theodore Payne, Seedsman and Nurseryman 
PETUNIA. Perennial, 1 to 1% feet. Charming plants 
for large beds and borders, succeeding well in a 
sunny situation and blooming for the greater part 
of the year. Sow the seed in February in seed pans 
or boxes of light soil, cover the seed very lightly 
and water with a fine spray. When the plants are 
large enough, transplant to the open ground. 
Note. — Seed saved from the most carefully hybrid- 
ized flowers, produce about 30 per cent double flow- 
ers, the balance being singles of unusually fine qual- 
ity. The weaker seedlings should be carefully 
saved, as these invariably produce the double flow- 
ers. In a measure the same is true of the single 
sorts, the small, weak seedlings generally produce 
the largest and finest flowers, while the large, strong 
seedlings usually turn out to be the most common 
types.
