The Annual Poppies Produce a Colorful Array 
PETUNIA 
Each season hybridizers are making great advancement in the develop¬ 
ment of improved Petunias. The startling new improvements are recorded in 
the following list. Nothing gives quite the constant and prolific bloom from 
early summer until frost that the Petunias do. They have varying uses— 
doing well in all—for beds, spotted in the border, for edging, in the rockery, 
and for porch and window boxes. 
Large Flowered Petunias 
The following varieties are especially fine for bedding, for the groups in 
the border, and single specimens in pots are particularly attractive.
