PETUNIAS 
One of our finest bedding - plants, flowering continuously until frost, useful 
alike for massed bedding or as edgings to taller plants. The colors range from 
pure white through shades of pink, rose and crimson, to deep blue. As the seed 
is extra fine, merely press it firmly into the top of well-prepared soil, and cover 
with newspaper, removing it as soon as the seed germinates. Use care not to 
wash the seeds out in watering. In the fall, the plants may be potted for winter 
flowering indoors.
