Giant-flowering Double Fringed Petunia 
PETUNIA 
Petunias cannot be equaled by any other plant for outdoor decora¬ 
tion, for beds, porch-boxes or window-boxes. They flower in summer, 
even if sown in the open ground during May or June. Those sown 
in the house or hotbed in March or April will be in bloom by June 
and will be larger and finer plants. Half-hardy annuals of easy cul¬ 
ture. Many, especially the double forms, make excellent pot-plants. 
Once started, they continue in bloom summer and autumn. 
Petunias grow from i to feet high, except the dwarf single 
bedding types (Petunia hybrida nana) which attain only 8 inches.

Few of the annuals offered by us have become as popular as this 
simple yet splendid type of Petunia. Their freedom of bloom and 
purity of color suit them for borders, beds, and rock-gardens; their 
somewhat spreading habit of growth enables them quickly to festoon 
themselves over window-boxes, porches and walls. 
The flowers are of good size, the plants are vigorous growers, and 
we recommend them without reserve.
