RANUNCULUS 
Persian Buttercup (p) 
Tecolote Giants. A bright, showy flower, 
usually grown from tubers, but actually 
more satisfactory from seed, as the latter 
are disease resistant. One packet does the 
work of dozens of bulbs. Yellow, red, scar- 
let, orange, white and other rich autumn 
colors, 2 to 2% inches and very double. If 
started in flats in August to December 
will bloom the following spring. Likes 
well-drained, moist soil and a shady loca- 
tion. 12 to 15 inches tall......... Pkt. 50c 
PETUNIAS (a) 
In dry seasons or wet, petunias are the most 
colorful, long flowering and adaptable of all 
the annuals, blooming from late spring until 
frost. Interesting for flower arrangements. 
The dwarf ruffled giants are also excellent 
in pots and in window boxes and borders. 
The large flowered singles for color spots in 
the garden and the balcony type for trailing 
over window boxes. The small, plain edged 
varieties are best for big color masses. 
Petunias should be planted in the sun, in 
good soil and not watered too freely. The 
seed, which is very tiny, should be mixed 
with fine sand and scattered thinly in boxes 
of finely screened loam, then pressed down 
lightly with smooth board.
