Petunia nua 
_No other flower can quite equal the Petunia in providing a gorgeous 
display of color from early summer until frost. They have varying 
uses—doing well in all—as bedding plants, for edging paths, spotted 
in the border for color, in the rockery, for porch and window-boxes, 
and for pot-culture. Sow the seed in pots or flats in the house or hot- 
bed in February or March, or in the garden as soon as the soil is 
warm. Cover the seed but lightly, as it is very fine.
