PETUNIAS 
Careful work of hybridizers has developed Petunias into one of our most colorful and useful flowers. 
Always 
dependable, thriving under most adverse conditions of soil and climate, they offer an abundance of bloom and 
beauty throughout the summer. 
For porch and window boxes, for gay masses of bloom in the flower bed and 
around the summer cottage or as border plants they are indispensable. 
For bloom in June they should be started 
in the house March 24th. The seeds are very small and should be sown very thin and barely covered. Bedding 
Petunias may also be sown in the open ground as soon as the soil can be worked and will flower in July. Trans- 
plant or thin to | ft. 
Bedding Petunias 
Our carefully selected bedding Petunias are covered 
with medium size blooms from early summer until 
frost. This type planted in the open ground in our 
trial grounds on May 15th will flower by July 10th.
