Petunias 
For years we have been growing Petunias, increasing our plantings more 
and more each season so that they are now one of our leading specialties. 
The most careful breeding and selection assure you of the very highest 
quality—the result of the exacting care given to the crops by our experts. 
We are proud of our Petunias; all are grown on Burpee’s famous Flora- 
dale Farms in California, where perfect conditions in soil and climate give 
the seeds a vitality and purity that is unsurpassed. We tried out nearly 
1000 samples of Petunias from other growers last year on each of our ex¬ 
perimental grounds in California and Pennsylvania. They were planted 
so we could get a direct comparison with the varieties that we grow. 
Results showed that for trueness to type and purity of color Burpee’s 
Petunias were not excelled. These Better Petunias are offered at remark¬ 
ably low prices. They are real business getters; cover on your require¬ 
ments early.
