PENTSTEMON 
Beard Tongue. This border plant is really a perennial, but is best treated in northern latitudes as an 
annual and grown the same as Verbenas or Snapdragons. Will bloom under most trying conditions 
and will resist drought and heat where other flowers fail. It thrives im any soil in shade or sun. Sow 
the seed indoors from January to March for plants to bloom in the border from July until frost.

PETUNIA 
For a gorgeous display of color from early summer to frost, there is nothing to compare with the Pe- 
tunia. Thriving in most soils and under varied conditions, it gives more genuine satisfaction and pleas- 
ure than any other flower. Petunias are ideal for many purposes—as bedding plants for edging; for 
color accents in the mixed border; for the rock-garden, window-boxes, and for pot culture. The many 
classes or types of this versatile flower have been improved to a high degree, and today there is no Jack 
of ideal varieties to suit each requirement. In January or February sow the seed of pot-plant varieties 
indoors to have flowering plants ready for spring. For flat-grown spring bedding plants start the seed 
indoors in February or March. Don’t over-cover the seed, and 60 to 70-degree temperature gives the 
best germination. Transplart the seedlings to flats of fairly stiff soil and grow cool, on the dry side, 
and close to the glass. This avoids soft, overgrown plants. The Balcony and Bedding varieties may 
also be sown in May direct to the garden bed and thinned out to stand 10 to 12 inches apart. 
BALCONY 
This type has Iong, sprawling plants over 18 inches high, with single flowers 3 inches across. They
