Hummert’s Highest Quality Flower SEEDS for Florists 
SELECTED PETUNIAS 
Good Petunias are becoming more in demand each year, the 
medium and dwarf varieties for bedding, and the Fringed and 
Double as a pot plant for Mothers Day Sales. 
To grow good Petunias you must have rich soil. Before 
sowing the seed we recommend treating the soil with hot water 
to kill all fungi and weed seed in the soil. 
Our Petunia seeds are of the finest quality, grown by the best 
growers in Europe and California, from selected plants, and are 
hand pollenized, no matter how careful the selection, you some¬ 
times will find a few plants which revert to the old type; these 
usually bloom first. This is a natural habit of petunias.
