PETUNIA ha 
Few flowers excel Petunias in brilliant and gorgeous display, 
especially for porch or window boxes. They commence flowering 
very early, and continue their riotous production of bloom through¬ 
out the whole season, until killed by frost. Easily cultivated, re¬ 
quiring only a good soil and a sunny position. It is best to sow 
them indoors and transplant to the open in May, although the seed 
may be sown directly out of doors in May. 1 to 1% feet. 
CLIFFWOOD BALCONY PETUNIAS 
This type has become very popular within the last few years. 
They are unusually free-blooming, trailing in growth, with im¬ 
mense single flowers averaging three inches in diameter, and are

DOUBLE PETUNIAS 
The seed of the double-flower¬ 
ing Petunias is obtained bv hand- 
hybridizing; 50 to 70 per cent will 
be the big double, fluffy flowers. 
In growing them from seed, the 
weaker seedlings should receive 
the most attention as they pro¬ 
duce the finest double flowers. 
Petunias, these double as well as 
the single, are not difficult to 
grow. In planting them, merely 
press the seed lightly into the 
soil, covering not more than % 
inch deep.
