Schling ‘ Magnificent PETUNIAS 
No flower has achieved such rapid popularity as have Petunias within the past decade. 
Petunias have captivated the hearts of all gardeners, amateur and professional, and they have supplanted a great many of the old favor- 
ites such as Geraniums, Salvias, Vincas, etc., as bedding and: window box plants. 
Only lately have they been recognized as splendid cut flowers. 
The splendid attributes of all classes of 
Petunias are so prolific that proper culture requires frequent trim- 
ming of the plants so that cutting the blooms not only provides a splendid source of cut flowers, but aids the general growth of the plant 
as well. Petunias are impartial. 
They will grow anywhere, in semi-shade or in hot, dry sunny locations. 
The list as represented below 
embraces the finest selection of Petunia varieties that have been tested for their beauty and prolific bloom and excellent growing habits.
