PETUNIA 
Petunias have no equals in providing a gorgeous 
display of color from early Summer until late Fall. 
Seed can be started inside in February, in a cold- 
frame in March, and for later bloom they can be 
started outside in April and May. Petunia seed is 
fine and should be sown very carefully. It germinates 
easily if not sown too deep.
