Petunia, Violet Gem 
MAMMOTH VERBENAS 
Verbenas raised from seed are much more 
vigorous and free flowering than if grown 
from cuttings. Sow in the greenhouse or 
cold frame in March, and transplant to the 
outdoor beds in May. They will bloom 
abundantly all through the summer and 
autumn. Growing low and spreading, the 
plants interwine and form a dense carpet 
of green foliage, a charming background for 
brilliantly colored flowers.

Magnificent Petunias 
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 favorites 
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 pro- 
lific 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 
tested for their beauty, prolific bloom, and 
excellent growing habits.
