Petunia, All-Double America Petunia Violacea 
PETUNIAS 
PETUNIAS cannot be equaled for beds and borders. They flower throughout the year even 
through the hot summer months. Start planting in September and continue through the spring 
months. Scatter seed thinly on an even well prepared soil and cover lightly with fine silt or 
sand, pressing firmly with a board so that seed adheres to the soil. A light mulch of barnyard 
fertilizer or peat moss is beneficial. Thin plants to 8 to 12 inches. Do not over water. Petunias 
grow from | to 1% feet high, except miniature sorts and the dwarf single bedding types, which 
attain 8 inches or less.

PLANTING SUGGESTIONS FOR A FLOWER BORDER 
. The flower border can be a very pleasing and colorful part of the garden. Most everyone 
has planted solid beds of one kindof flower, such as Zinnias. Other flowers blooming at the 
same time could be planted with them to offer contrast and variety and to give a wider choice 
of cut flowers. The dwarfer kinds are placed in the very front either in a continuous row or 
broken by bold bands of different kinds. Between the front planting and the rear which takes 
the tallest varieties we place those of intermediate height, always the taller behind the smaller. 
Choose your favorites from the suggestions below. Gypsophila, Nigella, Queen Anne‘s Lace, and 
Shasta Daisies blend their colors into a harmonious border.
