Peiuniai, 
T he garden petunias are very popular tender annuals, widely used 
for bedding, window boxes, pot plants, or for the border. They are 
all best treated as tender annuals, the seed started indoors or in the green¬ 
house 7 to 8 weeks before the plants are to be put outdoors. This should 
not be done until warm weather is settled. Nearly all the strains are sum¬ 
mer bloomers and will stand no frost. Those who do not wish to start the 
plants indoors can sow seed (after frost time), but such plants will be 
delayed in flowering. 
Unfortunately, petunias, while often self-sown in 
some of the strains, are quite likely to revert to a 
wild type, so that self-sown seedlings are pretty sure 
to deteriorate. It is advisable to weed out these sec¬ 
ond growth Petunias and reseed each year with fresh 
seed. 
Petunias require a rich, light, well fertilized soil, 
however, the fertilizer should not be applied until 
after the plants are established, then use a good com¬ 
plete plant food. A liberal amount of peat moss or 
leaf mold, or both, should be worked into the bed 
before planting. When setting out transplants be 
careful to avoid the direct sun as tender Petunia 
plants will wilt rapidly. 
Petunias have enjoyed great popularity in recent 
years, and the focus of interest lately has centered on 
the dwarf growing, compact types, of which the new 
Martha Washington ushers in an entirely new ver¬ 
sion. The plants are about nine inches tall, in a per¬ 
fect ball effect, actually covered with dozens of the 
delicately ruffled medium-sized flowers. The color 
itself is an interesting combination, blush pink at 
the edges, deepening to dark violet in the throat, 
with heavy veining. It comes exceedingly true to 
color and type, and is excellent for use as a bedding, 
border or window box plant. Packets, 15c. 
Miniature Petunias Rose Gem and Pink Gem. 
These two charming types have filled a vacancy home 
gardeners have had for years. Where a low, solid bed 
of color is needed nothing does quite as well as these 
two varieties of miniature petunias. The plants are 
neat and compact, 5 to 6 inches in height and smoth¬ 
ered with richly colored blossoms about 2 inches in 
diameter. Rose Gem (15c); Pink Gem (10c). 
Giants of California are the largest of the single 
flowering petunias. The flowers are completely ruf¬ 
fled with large, graceful throats. Excellent in beds by 
themselves or grouped with Dwarf Lobelia. Mixed 
colors. Packets, 15c. 
Dwarf Giants of California are a compact form of 
the above. Especially fine for potting and also go 
well in a bed with the taller variety. Packets, 15c.
