How to Sow Double Petunia Seed 
The seed of Double Petunias Is very 
fine and should be sown inside in flats or 
pots, using a mixture of finely sifted soil, 
with the addition of some sand. Thor- 
oughly water the soil and then lightly 
scatter the seed on the surface. Do not 
cover the seed with soil. The receptacle 
should be covered with a sheet of news- 
paper and a pane of glass, and kept in a 
warm location until the seedlings start to 
grow. It is important not to discard the 
small seedlings, as these usually produce 
the best double flowers.
