Petunias 
Petunias are truly the glory of the flower gar¬ 
den. They will thrive through all kinds of summer 
weather. From the time they first bloom up to 
killing frost they seem to bloom heavier and heav¬ 
ier as the days pass, throughout the entire sum¬ 
mer. Petunias can be seeded late in the fall just 
before it freezes up. The seed is ready then to 
germinate very early in the spring and bring on 
the blooming season very early in the summer. 
We have selected our Petunia seed strains with 
the greatest care and as the different strains are 
all in blossom about our office as this is written, 
we know they will please the most exacting.
