DOUBLE PETUNIA 
PETUNIA 
Petunias are unsurpassed for massing in beds. They are 
also used along walks and driveways and are often grown in 
window boxes. Their richness of color, duration of bloom and 
easy culture will always make them popular. In some strains 
the flowers are very large, measuring 4 to 5 inches across; in 
others, they are deeply fringed; still others have star-like 
markings radiating from the throat and extending nearly or 
quite to the outer margin of the blossom; again, others have 
full, double flowers. The colors range from white to deep 
red-purple and are variously striped and blotched.
