Petunias « 
Every gardener grows petunias and why not. They’re easy to grow, bloom 
until frost; brilliant colors, waved petals, fringed petals, double’ flowers. 
Alike suitable to beds, borders, boxes, pots; cutflower. 
For early start, 
sow seeds in well levelled soil flats, don’t cover seed; to water use a mist 
spray. Transplant at least once before setting out. In the doubles, select 
the weakest seedlings, as they are the doubles. 
F,‘S ARE ECONOMICAL AND EASY TO GROW 
Fi hybrids grow stronger and faster, are easier to grow. Fewer 
plants are required because of extra vigor. Allow plenty of room. 
Plants spaced 24 by 24 inches will give complete coverage by mid- 
July. Proper spacing prevents extra tall growth and falling over.
