PETUNIAS 
A Garden Favorite 
Long a popular flower among all garden lovers. Pe¬ 
tunias have won new favor in recent years. They are now 
one of the most universally used for window boxes, 
porch boxes, beds, borders, etc. No other bedding plant 
can make a more pleasing display. The plants make a 
strong, vigorous growth, blooming profusely from early 
summer until frost. Petunias prefer full sunlight but are 
also adapted for shady places. They will grow and bloom 
well in almost any kind of soil, even the poorest, and 
withstand drought to a remarkable degree. In places dif¬ 
ficult to mow or cultivate such as steep banks, about 
rocks and other out-of-the-way places they will be 
found to be of great value and beauty.
