Petunias are one of the most effective of all 
annuals for solid massing in beds or in groups 
through the garden. They bloom profusely and 
centinuously through the entire summer, with 
little or ne care, doing best in full sun but grow- 
ing well in some shade and poor soil. They give 
you a full range of color from the single bedding 
type with flowers about 2 inches across to the 
double and large single fringed varieties with 
giant 4- to 5-inch blooms. Sow in hotbed or cold 
frames in March and transplant about 1 foot 
apart in garden beds. Plant in open ground 
after May lst.
