Petunias in their many beautiful varieties form a highly interesting 
and desirable class of free-flowering plants for pot or garden culture ; 
those of the Grandiflora section, both singlo and double-flowered, being 
especially valuable. Tho blooms of theso are of immense size, beautifully 
formed, and of the most charming and delicate colours ; some of the 
flowers are exquisitely veined or pencilled, others blotched or striped. 
The new “ Fringed ” varieties, both double and single, produce some 
charming flowers, the edges of the petals being elegantly cut or fringed, 
whilst the colours are most varied and beautiful. Tho seed we offer has 
beon carefully saved from fecundated flowers of tho finest varieties ; but 
as Petunias raised from seed have a tendency to “ sport,” wo cannot 
guarantee more than sixty or seventy per cent, of flowers true to description. 
All will, however, be found well worth growing, and occasionally 6omo 
fine novelties may be secured. Petunias for indoor cultivation may bo 
sown in January or early in February, but those intended for bedding 
out do not require to be sown before March. A soil composed of two 
parts leaf-mould and one part loam, with the addition of a little sharp 
sand, forms an excellent compost for these, but the seeds being very small 
require special caro in sowing. Fill your pots or seed-pans to near the 
rim and press the soil down firmly and evenly, sow thinly, and cover tho 
seeds very slightly with fine soil, sprinkle gently with a fine rose water-pot, 
and place in a gentle heat of sixty or sixty-five degrees, not higher, and 
keep nicely moist. As soon as the young plants can be handled, prick 
them out about one inch apart in pots to strengthen, and when sufficiently 
advanced in growth pot off singly into small pots, gradually harden off 
when established, and plant out about the middle of May, or shift into 
large pots as required. In planting Petunias, out of doors, ground should 
be selected that has not been freshly manured, otherwise a superabundant 
foliage will retard the flowering. 
PETUNIA HYBRIDA GRANDIFLORA. 
A fine and distinct class of beautiful, large-flowering varieties pro lucing 
blooms of immense size, and of the most charming colours ; much superior 
to the old varieties of Petunia hybrida. Tho plants are robust in habit of 
growth, and admirably suited as pot-plants for the greenhouse or con- 
servatory or for garden decoration.
