Single Blotched

Superbissima

The large flowered varieties of Petunia, often four inches in diameter, are best for single

plants or little groups; the small flowered varieties are best for showy beds. Seed sown in

the spring will produce flowering plants in June. Set the plants about 18 inches apart. They

come pretty true from seed, but are not reliable in this respect, being inclined to sport. They

do well sown in a cold-frame, hot bed, or in the open ground. Few plants will make a more

showy bed, giving flowers from early summer until after frost. The seeds of the Double

Petunia do not possess as much vitality as those of the single, and care must be used to get

them to germinate; nor will they all come double. Annuals.
