PETUNIAS (a) 
There are few flowers that are as colorful 
and bloom over as long a period as petu- 
nias. They are easy to grow, and thrive in 
almost any kind of soil or climate. They 
are especially desirable for borders, window 
boxes, and grow well in flower pots. They 
prefer a sunny place, and only require a 
moderate amount of moisture. The seeds 
are very small, and should be started in 
flats. It is best to mix the seed with sand, 
and sow thinly in well screened soil.
