Petunias 
For bedding, porch or window boxes, few flowers equal the Petunia in 
effectiveness. They are of easiest cultivation and probably give greater 
returns for the care they require than any other plant. All they ask is 
a good soil and a sunny position, and they will make a gorgeous dis¬ 
play until killed by frost. Annual.
