CANNELLS’ FLORAL GUIDE, 1912, 
Petunias. 
It is surprising this family is not more largely grown, considering how easy they are to cultivate ; and 
if well grown what grand things they are, both for decoration and exhibition. Treat them similarly to a Verbena. 
Choose nice young plants about March, or any time up to July, give them good shifts and rich soil, well stake 
out, and you will be highly gratified, for some are certainly surprisingly large, and their colours not equalled 
by any other flower. The finest varieties ever offered. Seed saved from this collection, 1 /O and 2/6 per packet

Phloxes. 
These are a splendid hardy class of plants. Some of them are lovely colours and perfectly distinct to any 
other flower, and for mixed borders or in shrubberies they are not equalled by any other plant. Some of their 
blooms are almost a perfect circle. Their roots can be divided in February, and are quite hardy. Plant them 
in good, deep, rich soil in an open situation. To get fine e.xhibition blooms, strong cuttings must be taken 
and struck early in March., For cut blooms they are valuable, also very ornamental and continue in bloom for 
a long time.
