Grow Petunias for Continuity of Bloom and Brilliant Effect 
Petunias 
Petunias cannot be equaled by any other plant for outdoor decoration, for beds, porch- 
boxes or window-boxes. They flower in summer, even if sown in the open ground during May 
or June. Those sown in the house or hotbed in March or April will be in bloom by June and 
will be larger and finer plants. 
Petunias grow from 1 to 13^ feet high, except miniature sorts and the dwarf single bedding 
types {Petunia bybrida nana) which attain 8 inches or less.
