PETUNIA CULTURE. This is covered more 
fully on page 11 of “The Gardener’s Handbook” 
sent free with your order. We treat all seeds 
of Petunias with Semesan to help prevent “damp- 
ing off’? which together with covering too deeply 
causes more failures than anything else, The 
seed may be sown indoors about 8 weeks before 
your usual outdoor planting time to give you 
blooming plants in early June, and because the 
seed are small should be sown in boxes and 
transplanted even when planting late.
