Petunias 
Annu^. 1 to IV 2 ft- June to Frost. A bed of Petunias 
is a glorious sight indeed. Freedom of bloom, sweet" 
ness of scent, variety of color and effectiveness have 
made them a leader in popularity as the ideal bedding 
plant. They are easy to grow and require little care 
^ter the plants are established. It is best to sow the 
Giant varieties indoors and transplant outside in May. 
The ovhcr types can be sown out'of"doors in May. The 
seed is very fine, so cover with soil very lightly, or 
simply press in with a flat board. 
Buist’s Giant Petunias 
The Seeds of Giant Petunias are expensive and the 
safest method is to start them indoors in a flat box or 
pan filled with good sifted soil. Press them into the 
surface rather than cover with soil and place glass over 
the box to retain the moisture. Take the glass off after 
the seed germinates to prevent dampening off. The very 
weak, slow growing plants produce the finest flowers; 
with care they will develop into strong plants.
