HALLAWELL’S PETUNIAS 
Illustrated in Color on Page 6. 
No flower surpasses the petunia for massing in beds. They do well sown in open 
border in spring or earlier in the cold frame or hotbed. Be careful not to cover 
the small seeds too deeply. Seeds of double varieties do not all produce double 
” flowers; save the weaker seedlings, as they usually give the finest double flowers. 
Have you ever tried Petunias for cut flowers? By cutting the flowers with long 
stems the plants are improved and the blooming season is prolonged. The large 
ruffled or fringed varieties make lovely bouquets and they keep well in water, 
too. Sow the seeds in flats January to May.

or beds. The flowers are ruffled and fringed with open well marked throats. For
