No flower is so popular as the Petunia. 
They have captivated the hearts of all gar- 
deners, amateur and professional, and have 
supplanted a great many of the old favor- 
ites such as Geraniums, Salvias, Vincas, etc., 
as bedding and window box plants. 
Only lately have Petunias been recognized 
as splendid cut flowers. They are so proli- 
fic that proper culture requires frequent 
trimming of the plants so that cutting the 
blooms not only provides a splendid source 
of cut flowers, but aids the general growth 
of the plant as well. Petunias are impartial. 
They will grow anywhere, in semi-shade or 
in hot, dry sunny locations. The list as 
represented below embraces the finest selec- 
tion of Petunia varieties that have been test- 
ed for their beauty, prolific bloom, and ex- 
cellent growing habits.
