Petunias 
Hardy Annual. 1 to 14% ft. June to Frost 
Petunias are the most adaptable long-flowering and 
colorful of garden annuals, thriving in dry seasons 
or wet, and in either heavy or light sandy soils. It is 
best to sow the Giant varieties indoors and trans- 
plant during the usual outdoor plantng time. The 
seed is very fine, so cover with soil very lightly or 
simply press in with a flat board. 
Culture—For seeds of Giant Petunias. They are ex- 
pensive and the safest method is to start them in- 
doors about eight weeks before the usual outdoor 
planting time. Plant in a flat box or pan filled with 
good sifted soil. Press them into the surface rather 
than cover with soil and place glass over the box 
to retain moisture. Take the glass off after the seed 
germinates to prevent dampening off. The very 
weak, slow growing plants produce the finest flow- 
ers; with care they will develop into strong plants.
