No flower has achieved such rapid popularity as have Petunias within 
the past decade. The splendid attributes of all classes of Petunias have 
captivated the hearts of all gardeners, amateur and professional, and 
they have supplanted a great many of the old favorites such as Ger- 
aniums, Salvias, Vincas, etc., as bedding and window box plants. 
Only lately have they been recognized as splendid cut flowers. 
Petunias are so prolific that proper culture requires frequent trimming 
of the plants so that cutting the blooms not only provides a splendid 
source of cut flowers, but aids the general growth of the plant as well. 
Petunias are impartial. They will grow anywhere, in semi-shade or in 
hot, dry sunny locations. The list as represented below embraces the 
finest selection of Petunia varieties that have been tested for their 
beauty and prolific bloom and excellent growing habits.
