Madison St., Chicago. PETUNIAS Giants of California No bedding plants make a more pleasing display than Petunias. The distinct colors and marking make a brilliant show. The plants make a strong growth and bloom profusely until after hard frosts. Petunia seed will germinate with little difficulty if a reasonable amount of care is used in sowing. First, be sure that the soil is well pulverized; then sow the seeds on the surface, pressing them into the soil by using a small, smooth board and cover very lightly with sand or fine soil. Seed sown in a hotbed or the house early in the spring will produce flowering plants in June. Set the plants 12 to IS inches apart. Seeds of Double Petunia do not possess as much vitality as those of the Single, neither will all come double. SINGLE LARGE FLOWERING Barnard's "Mammoth" Single 3565—This mixture includes, besides the Ruffled and California Giants, all the colors of the large flowering and fringed sorts, and the unsurpassed Superbissima varieties, with their delicate veined throats in various colors and truly mammoth flowers. The weaker seedlings frequently produce the finest flowers of best colorings. It is best to sow seed of large flow- ering Petunias indoors and transplant to the open in May. 25c pkt. 3566—Giants of California. This strain, originating in California, is of incomparable size, luxuriance and beauty. Nearly all the flowers are ruffled or fringed, and measure from 4 to 5 inches across. The great variety of colors, blotchings, stripings and veinings make fantastic and beautiful combinations—some with deep throats of yellow, white, black, green or maroon, running off into intricate veins. Some of the colors run to delicate shades, while others are deep, rich and gorgeous. 20c pkt. 3570—Ruffled Giant
