Burpee’s New Dwarf Compact Petunia 
2426 Cream Star 
Silver Medal Winner, All-America Selections for 1940 
Plants have the finest dwarf, bushy habit ever seen in the nana compacta group of petunias. When 
full grown, they are 12 in. high and 14 in. across, neatly rounded and completely covered with flowers 
over the sides and top. Perfectly uniform; every plant is of the same size and habit, and all plants 
produce flowers of the same color and form. Cream Star Petunia, entered in competition with many 
other new flowers, received the highest rating by the judges of the All-America Selections for 1940. 
To receive such a high honor, a flower must be good; we can fully recommend it. 
Flowers grow 2)4 in. across and are shaped like a five-pointed star; soft, creamy white deepening 
towards the throat to a bright golden yellow. The entirely distinct color of the flowers, together with 
the uniform, compact habit of the plants and their profusion of blooms, makes Cream Star Petunia 
ideally suited for low beds, borders and edgings. Plants come into bloom about 20 weeks after the 
seed is sown and they will continue to bloom profusely until frost. Pkt. 25jzf; 2 pkts. 45^; 5 pkts. $1.00.
