PETUNIA, Choice Bedding. 
Petunias bloom early from seeds and the 
plants increase in beauty until frost, and bloom 
more or less until the ground freezes. They are 
therefore fine for beds, and they endure sun 
and drought better than most other flowers. 
The compact varieties are also well suited for 
pots and porch boxes. The flowers are always 
bright and attractive, and appear in many 
pleasing shades. In the evening they emit a 
delightful perfume. 
Compact Varieties: Rosy Morn, bright rosy pink with 
wbite throat. This is a grand Petunia for beds as well as 
pots. The plants are dense, and smothered all the season 
with the charming flowers, as shown in the engraving.
