BUCHANAN’S PETUNIAS 
These varieties produce their handsome, sweet-scented flowers in delicate and gorgeous 
colors throughout the whole summer and can be cut back and transplanted in pots or boxes to 
take indoors during the winter. 
Sow the small seeds in a warm, sunny, open place outdoors, thinning to 15 inches apart, or 
in frames for transplanting. Scatter seeds thinly, barely cover and firm soil; water seedlings 
with a fine spray to prevent drying out. 
Petunia seed is very fine and very expensive,; therefore very few seeds in each packet. The 
double largo flowering petunia costs us ($100.00) one hundred dollars for (1 oz.) one ounce.
