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 growing 
any other good flower? 
Location: full sun; the giant ruffled and 
double types will stand partial shade. Cul- 
ture: the poorest soil is satisfactory. The 
giant types should have a well enriched 
soil for best results. Use: there are varieties 
suitable for all purposes—bedding, edging, 
pots and window boxes, and masses in 
mixed borders.
