"Pure and Sure" Seeds—ST. LOUIS SEED COMPANY 
St. Louis Seed Co.’s Selected Petunias 
(Annual) 
Culture: Petunias are unsurpassed for massing in beds. They are also used along walks and drive¬ 
ways and are often grown in window boxes. Their richness of color and duration of bloom will always 
make them popular. They endure drought exceptionally well. The seed we offer is the result of careful 
hybridization and can be depended upon to give results. 
Plant the seed, which is exceedingly fine, in a warm, open, sunny place. Seeds may be sown directly 
in the open ground or for early results the plants may be started in cold frame, hotbed or in pots in¬ 
doors, in a temperature averaging 60 to 70 degrees. Water with a fine spray and do not permit the 
seedlings to dry out.
