OUR WAY OF SOWING PETUNIA SEEDS 
As the proper way in sow¬ 
ing Petunia seeds is the 
most essential part ol 
their success, I am show¬ 
ing some photographs of 
how we handle them to 
get 100% germination. The 
pictures were taken eight 
days after sowing and the 
glass panes standing 
back of the boxes have 
just been removed. By 
sowing the seeds in rows 
as you see here we save 
transplanting as they are 
enabled to become large 
enough here to plant them 
at once in 3-inch pots and 
we are also able to stir the 
soil up between the rows. 
Boxes are 4 inches high, 
24 inches long, and 16 
inches wide. We cover the 
seeds with charcoal dust 
only.
