Giant Ruffled Petunias 
(Petunia hybrida 
grandifiora 
superbissinxa ) 
Petunias are among the most 
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 location 
where they receive plenty of 
sunlight. 
Some t*pe8 are especially suited 
for bedding and pot culture, 
others are ideal for edgings and 
mass plantings, while others are 
unexcelled for porch and win¬ 
dow boxes; all are excellent for 
cutting. The freedom with 
which the charming blooms are 
produced throughout the grow- ‘ V 
ing season is truly amazing. 
Burpee’s Giant Ruffled Pe¬ 
tunias are unsurpassed for bed¬ 
ding, cutting, and pot culture. 
The flowers, with their large, 
wide-open tliroats, are deeply 
ruflled, artistically veined, and, 
when well grown, often measure 
5 to 7 in..across. They are mar¬ 
velous in every respect. 
Seeds are quite small and most valuable. Sow 
them carefully indoors in pots or shallow boxes 
filled with well prepared, rich soil, six to eight weeks 
before your usual outdoor planting time. Easily 
grown if directions on packages are followed.
