PETUNIA SEED GERMINATION 
Since all Petunia seed is of rather small size, it requires close 
attention while germinating. Most growers have little trouble with 
Rosy Morn and Celestial Rose and others in their class, but more 
precautions need to be used with the highly developed strains such as 
the Dwarf Giants. 
1. Sterilize the soil and flats if possible. 
. Do not cover the seed too deeply. 
. Provide shade and uniform moisture while germinating. 
. Germinate in a warm place. 65 to 75 degrees. 
. Provide against ants, slugs and sow bugs. 
The soil used should drain well, and the flats should be watered 
from the bottom while the plants are of small size. 2 or 3 weeks 
after the plants are up, plenty of ventilation and lower temperatures 
are needed. Transplant or pot before the seedlings become crowded. 
Better stock can be grown under sash in frames than is possible in 
most greenhouses in the Spring.
