etunias 

To see Petunias is to 
admire them. 
Hardy Annual. 1 to 11 ft. June to Frost. 
ica are the most adaptable long- 
flowering and colorful of garden annuals, 
thriving in dry seasons or wet, and in either 
heavy or light sandy soils. It is best to sow 
the Giant varieties indoors and transplant dur- 
ing the usual outdoor planting time. The seed 
is very fine, so cover with soil very lightly or 
simply press in with a flat board. 
Culture—For seeds of Giant Petunias. They 
are expensive and the safest method is to 
start them indoors about eight weeks before 
the usual outdoor planting time. Plant 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 re- 
tain 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,
