^HE largc-flowcrcd varieties of Petunia, often four inches in diameter, are 
best for single plants or little groups. Seed sown in a hotbed or 
cold frame early in the spring will produce flowering plants in June. Set the 
plants about eighteen inches apart. They come pretty true from seed, but arc 
not reliable in this respect, being inclined to sport. The seeds of the Double 
Petunia do not possess as much vitality as those of the single, and care must 
be used to get them to germinate ; nor will they all come double. Annuals.

(( Giants of California This strain, originating in California, 
is of incomparable size, luxuriance, and beauty. Nearly all the flowers 
are ruffled or fringed, and measure from four to five inches across. The 
great variety of colors, blotchings, stripings and veinings make fantastic and 
beautiful combinations,—some with deep throats of yellow, white, black, green, 
or maroon, running off into intricate veins. Some of the colors run to delicate 
shades, while others are deep, rich, and gorgeous.25

The bedding varieties are unsurpassed for massing. Few plants will 
make a more showy bed, giving a profusion of flowers from early summer until 
after frost, ranking with the Asters, Phloxes, and Verbenas in freedom of 
bloom, variety of colors, and effectiveness. The dwarf compact sorts make 
beautiful edging as well as bedding plants, and are also fine for pot culture.
