THE KILGORE SEED COMPANY, The South’s Leading Seedsmen 
Petunia 
THE BEST FLOWER FOR GENERAL PLANTING IN FLORIDA AND THE SOUTH 
Plant from September thru June. Approx, time seed sowing to bloom — 214-3 months 
The petunia should be Florida’s State Flower because it is Florida’s outstanding flower. Each 
year there are more and more acres of blooming petunias scattered across the Flowery State of 
Florida. Soon Florida’s petunias will outrival the poppies of California which gild her roadsides 
and vacant lands. They are outstanding favorites and used extensively for bedding, bordering, 
and roadside beautification. Neither extreme heat nor cold affects them, and they can be planted 
at almost any time. The very small seeds should be sown in boxes and transplanted, when the 
seedlings are well grown, to the bed or border, 18 inches apart. 
Petunias are in no wise particular as to soil, but do best on moderately rich, well drained, though 
moist soil. Since they grow and bloom over long periods, they require lasting fertilizers for best 
results. For use on petunia beds when they are made up, there is no better ferilizer than our 
bonemeal. 
When transplanting, make the soil rich but do not use chicken manure, sheep manure or fish 
meal, because these materials are injurious to petunias. Do not set plants too deep because in 
that case they take much longer to start growth
