Giant Ruffled Petunias 
(Petunia hyhrida 
grandiflora 
superbissima ) 
Burpee’s Giant Ruffled Petunias 
are unsurpassed for bedding, bor¬ 
ders, cutting, and most valuable for 
porch and window boxes as well as 
for pot culture. The flowers, with 
their large, wide-open throats, are 
deeply ruffled, artistically veined, 
and, when well grown, often meas¬ 
ure 5 to 7 in. across. They are mar¬ 
velous in every respect and their 
beauty, combined with size, is sure 
to attract attention. They are 
ready sellers with those who grow 
pot plants for sale; marketable 
flowering plants can be had in four 
months from the time of sowing the 
seed. Plants bloom until frost. 
Seeds are quite small and most 
valuable. Sow them carefully in¬ 
doors in pots or shallow boxes filled 
with equal parts of good garden 
loam and leaf mold to which has 
been added a generous quantity of 
fine, clean sharp sand. Make sow¬ 
ings about eight weeks before your 
usual outdoor planting time. Plants 
may be set in the open ground where 
they are to remain after soil has 
become warm and all danger of cold 
weather is past. Easily grown if 
directions on the seed packages are 
carefully followed.
