PETUNIAS & 
Petunias are unquestionably the most 
popular of all summer flowering annuals. 
What other annual will give a perfect 
riot of color from early spring through late 
fall, thrive under adverse conditions, and 
give good results‘on soil unsuited for grow- 
ing any other good flower? Location: full 
sun; the giant ruffled and double types 
will stand partial shade. Culture: the poor-

results. Use: there are varieties suitable

and window boxes, and masses in mixed 
borders.
