Giant Ruffled Petunias 
(Petunia hybrida 
grandifiora superbissima) 
Burpee's Giant Ruffled Petunias are unsurpassed 
for bedding, borders, 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 measure 5 to 7 in. 
across. They are ready sellers with those 
who grow pot-plants for sale; market¬ 
able 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 indoors 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 sowings 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 be¬ 
come warm and all danger of cold weather 
is past. Easily grown if directions on the seed 
packages are carefully followed.
