Petunia 
A very useful and free-flowering annual, thriving on any soil 
and in the hottest weather. For a showy hed, or for porch or 
window boxes, few plants equal the Petunia in effectiveness. 
Sow the seed in pots or flats in the house or hotbed in February 
or March, or in the garden as soon as the soil is warm. Cover 
the seed but slightly as it is very fine. 
Large Single Flowering Varieties

suited both for growing in pots and for borders. Fkt., 35c.
