GROW PETUNIA GIANT MIDGET IN PATIO POTS — BLOOMS EARLY 
19 

HALLAWELL'S PETUNIAS 
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. ° 
GIANT RUFFLED SORTS 
GIANT MIDGET—Huge flowers on small plants, suitable for pots, window boxes 
or beds. The flowers are ruffled and fringed with open well marked throats. For 
pot specimens let the first two or three flowers bloom, then pinch back regularly 
and they will branch into fine pot plants. Mixture. Pkt. 50c; 3 pkts. $1.25 
GLAMOUR—Outstanding in its coloring. Glamour is a beautiful shade of salmon 
rose, delicately veined brown in the creamy open shallow throat. Flowers 5 to 
6 inches in diameter, heavily ruffled, producing freely on strong growing plants
