Petunias 
Many Improved Types 
Annual. 1 to IV 2 ft. June to Frost. A bed of Petunias 
is a glorious sight indeed. Freedom of bloom, variety 
of color and effectiveness have made them a leader in 
popularity as the ideal bedding plant. They are easy to 
grow and require little care after the plants are estab- 
lished. It is best to sow the Giant varieties indoors and 
transplant outside in May. The other types can be sown 
out-of-doors in May. The seed is very fine, so cover 
with soil very lightly, if at all. 
They commence to flower early and will produce 
their handsome sweet-scented flowers in their delicate 
and gorgeous colors throughout the entire summer. 
Buist's Giant Petunias 
The Seeds of Giant Petunias are expensive and the 
safest method is to start them indoors in a flat box or 
pan filled with good sifted soil. Press them into the 
surface rather than cover with soil and place glass over 
the box to retain the moisture. Take the glass off after 
the seed germinates to prevent dampening off. The very 
weak, slow growing plants produce the finest flowers; 
be sure to give these weaklings extra care until they 
develop into strong, sturdy plants.
