[image caption: IOWA SEED CO.’S SINGLE AND DOUBLE PETUNIAS.]
PETUNIAS.
Surely there is no garden complete without a bed of elegant Petunias or a few fine specimen plants of it for the center of beds, or for growing in pots. For outdoor decoration or house culture, few plants are equal to this class. They commence flowering early, throughout the whole season until killed by frost; easily cultivated, requiring rich soil and a sunny situation. Of late years the single striped, mottled and double varieties have been greatly improved, and the above cut gives but a faint idea of their great variety and beauty. The double varieties require more care and should be started in the house.
