Grow Petunias for Continuity of Bloom and Brilliant Effect 
Brilliant Petunias 
Petunias cannot be equaled by any other plant for outdoor decoration, 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. 
Petunias grow from 1 to 134 feet high, except the dwarf single bedding types ( Petunia 
hybrida nana) which attain only 8 inches.
