Petunia. 
This is a flower for everybody. Few high priced ami rare 
plants can begin to compare with the Pet unia for beauty, and 
not half a dozen other flowers on our list are as showy in beds 
or masses as it is. We once saw in front of a humble western 
cabin a great raised bed of Petunias, a perfect cloud of bril¬ 
liant blossoms that could be seen far over the prairie, gleam¬ 
ing in purple and white, like some groat star, and all this 
wealth of beauty was the produotof a ten-rent paper of seed. 
The smallest, yard and the finest park is not complete without 
these butterflies among flowers, that mind neither heat, 
drouth or rain, but bloom in profusion until the winter is 
almost upon us. The seed is best started in the honse, and 
the young plants transplanted to open ground one foot 
apart; but if the soil is made very fine, seed can be sown in 
open ground and covered lightly. After they are once up 
they are no trouble, to grow. Per pkt.
