Giant Ruffled Petunias 
(Petunia hybrida gratidiflora superbissima) 
Glorious Flowers in Many 
Shades and Colors 
Annuals 
Words fail to adequately describe 
the beauty of these Giant Ruffled 
Petunias of which we offer below 
the most select varieties 
available today. The 
huge size of the charm¬ 
ing ruffled blooms, which 
often measure 5 to 7 in. 
across, is truly marvel¬ 
ous and the beauty of 
form and richness of the 
colors is quite unique. 
The illustration to the 
right gives but a faint 
idea of what these giants 
among the Petunias are 
like—they must be seen 
to appreciate their ex¬ 
quisite beauty. 
For scores of years in 
the past we have con¬ 
stantly improved on our 
strains of these marvelous 
Petunias and we are proud 
to say that Burpee’s strains 
have won world-wide repu¬ 
tation for quality. Our 
stock seed is saved from 
only the most perfect fluted 
and ruffled blooms of larg¬ 
est size, and true to type 
in every respect. A plant¬ 
ing of Burpee’s Giant Ruf¬ 
fled Petunias will be a source of 
endless delight from early summer 
until way late in the fall.
