PETUNIA. 
There is hardly any other flower that will give so much bloom with as little care 
as will the Petunias; in the hot summers, their bloom is continuous. Their use is 
confined to porch boxes and baskets and for bedding. They do not do well in shade. 
The chief pitfall the ameateur runs up against in growing Petunias is in the seed 
sowing; almost invariably they bury the tiny seeds too deeply so that the sprouting 
seedlings cannot possibly fight their way to the surface. First the soil should be a 
good loamy texture with fine leaf mould mixture for the top. Flower pots, the 
shallow type or fern pot, makes an ideal seed pan; place some drainage material in | 
the bottom and fill to the top with the above soil, then press down and level Ottis 
carefully sow seeds on top of this soil, using a little soil with the seeds to get a better 
distribution of the seeds, then give a fine sprinkling of sand over the. seed, not over 
1/16 inch at most, pressing this down gently so that the seeds wili come in contact 
with the soil particles. This work should really be done a day before ,planting the 
seed, when the soil can be well watered and the pot soaked with water, letting this 
stand over night, before sowing the seed. Then, after the seed is planted, place a pane 
of glass over the pot to prevent the loss of moisture, but watch carefully for too much 
condensation of water on the glass, which should be removed daily and the seed bed 
given ventilation. The pot should be in a place with about a 60 degree F. temperature
