The best results are secured by sowing in 
late July or August and protecting the young 
plants over winter with a covering of strawy 
manure or a deep blanket of leaves. They 
will then be ready to begin blooming as soon 
as the weather opens up in the spring and 
will continue to flower until hot weather. The 
next best time to sow is very early in the 
spring, in February or March, starting the 
seed in a box indoors or in a coldframe and 
setting the plants outdoors the latter part of 
April. If set out in a spot that is shaded part 
of the day, where the soil is deep and moist, 
and the flowers picked daily, the plants may 
be kept blooming all summer.

Petunias sme 
For solid beds of color, borders and edging, vases and porch-boxes, in fact, for every pur- 
pose, the Petunias are surpassed by few if any of the easily grown garden annuals. They come 
into bloom early and continue to flower profusely all summer long, thriving on poor soil and 
in the hottest weather. Sow the seed in April or May, scattering it thinly on fine sifted soil 
and, instead of covering it, press it firmly into contact with the earth with a smooth board. 
When the seedlings are about 2 inches high, transplant them to the place where you want 
them to bloom. For extra-early flowers, start seed indoors in March or April.
