PETUNIAS 
Petunias are the easiest cultivated and 
freest flowering annuals. Will succeed 
almost anywhere and give a continuity 
of the most brilliant blooms from June 
till killed by the frost. 
Culture—Sow from March to April. 
Use good compost made of good soil, 
humus and clean sand. Never use 
fertilizer when sowing. Sift this 
through a fine sieve into seed pots, pans 
or flats, within two inches from top. 
Fill remaining two inches with boiling 
water and let stand for a day. Cover 
seed bed with a clean pane of glass. 
Then smooth out but do not pack. 
Sprinkle with water and sow the seed on 
top and sprinkle a very little of the 
sterilized soil on the seed. Keep clean 
pane of glass over seed beds and remove 
only when seeds have sprouted. When 
the sun is too hot, place a sheet of 
paper over the glass. Seed bed must be 
left moist but not wet. When plants 
have from three to four leaves, trans- 
plant in flats 1 to 2 inches apart; then 
in pots if good strong plants are 
desired.
