PETUNIAS, Dwarf Giants of California 

PETUNIA, Bedding Mixed 

PETUNIA 
The most useful summer annual because of Its pro- 
fusion and long period of bloom as well as its wide color- 
range and different type flowers. 
Seed may be sown indoors and later transplanted or 
it may be sown in the garden after the soil is warm. 
Does well in any well-drained loam with plenty of sun- 
light. As the seed is very fine, we recommend mixing 
it with ten times its bulk of dry sand and then putting 
it ina shaker and sifting over the area to be planted.
