Flower Planting Guide for the South 
Rosy Morn Petunias 
Petunias 
Hardy. Plant from September to June 
Rightfully, the Petunia should be Florida’s State Flower. Each year there are 
more acres of blooming Petunias scattered across the Flowery State. Soon Florida’s 
Petunias will outrival the poppies of California which gild her roadsides and vacant 
lands. They are the outstanding favorites and used extensively for bedding, border¬ 
ing, and roadside beautification. Neither extreme heat nor cold affects them, and 
they can be planted at almost any time. The very small seeds should be sown in 
boxes and transplanted, when the seedlings are well grown, to the bed or border, 
6 inches apart. 
Petunias are in no wise particular as to soil, but do best on moderately rich, well- 
drained, though moist soil. Since they grow and bloom over long periods, they 
require lasting fertilizers for best results. For use on Petunia beds when they are 
made up, there is no better fertilizer than our raw ground bonemeal. 
ROSY MORN. Dwarf, compact, con¬ 
stantly blooming plants with small, bril¬ 
liant light pink flowers with white cen¬ 
ters. One of the finest types, especially 
desirable for growing in pots, urns and 
boxes.

The ultimate in Petunias and well worth 
the ambition of everyone to produce in perfec¬ 
tion. The huge blossoms are wonderfully ruf¬ 
fled and range bewilderingly through shades 
of pink, blue, scarlet, lavender, crimson, pur¬ 
ple, white, and intermediate hues, markings, 
and curious blotches. The single flowers meas¬ 
ure 3 to 4 V2 inches across and are gorgeously 
ruffled.
