Buist s Peerless Petunias for 1938 
Seen Everywhere—Succeed Anywhere 
T O SEE PETUNIAS is 
to admire them. They 
are popular for the small 
garden, the large estate and 
public parks and their 
adaptability makes them as 
desirable for window boxes 
as for large beds. 
Petunias are one of the 
most satisfactory and easily 
grown annuals that endure 
the entire summer, over' 
coming the most unfavor' 
able growing and soil con' 
ditions. They thrive in 
either heavy or light sandy 
soils, are resistant to dis' 
ease and’insects. They love 
sunshine yet can withstand 
excesses of heat and mois' 
ture or the dry burning 
winds and severe storms of 
the summer. A gorgeous 
sight to see these plants 
covered with bloom.
