Giant Ruffled Petunias 
(Petunia hybrida grandiRora superbissima) 
the most 
Petunias are among 
satisfactory annuals for garden 
display. They succeed in ordi¬ 
nary, well-drained garden loam 
such as will grow a good crop of 
vegetables, and in a lo¬ 
cation where they re¬ 
ceive plenty of sunlight. 
Some types are espe¬ 
cially suited for bedding 
and pot culture, others 
are ideal for edgings and 
mass plantings, while 
others are unexcelled for 
porch and window boxes; 
all are excellent for cut¬ 
ting. The freedom with 
which the charming 
blooms are produced 
throughout the growing 
season is truly amazing. 
Burpee’s Giant 
Ruffled Petunias are 
unsurpassed for bedding, 
cutting, and pot culture. 
The flowers, with their 
large, wide-open throats 
are deeply ruffled, artis¬ 
tically veined and, when 
well grown, often meas¬ 
ure 5 to 7 in. across. 
They are marvelous in 
every respect. Seeds 
should be sown indoors 
six to eight weeks before 
your usual outdoor 
planting time. 
Petunias are one of our leading 
specialties. We grow acres of 
them for seed each year on our 
Floradale Farms in California. 
The most careful breeding and 
selection assure you of the Best.
