Petunias 
Of all garden flowers, the Petunia is one of 
the most attractive. It is showy in the 
garden and wonderful for cutting. Start 
the seeds early, either indoors, or out of 
doors where they may be protected from 
late freezing. Sow in sifted soil consisting 
of ^ humus, (either very old manure, leaf 
mould or peatmoss) sand and ^ garden 
loam. Be sure there is adequate drainage. 
Barely cover the seeds and do not pack the 
soil. Keep moist and shaded until they 
germinate, which should be in 8 or 10 days. 
They may then be kept in a sunny place 
until large enough to transplant.
