AeM PETUNIAS 
The seed of all our Giant Ruffled, Double and Fringed varieties is produced 
by pot culture in a lath house where each plant is given personal attention and 
each flower is hand-pollenized. 
The culture of Petunias is simple. Seeds may be planted from September 
to March in cold frames or boxes. Equal parts of loam soil and fine river sand 
provides a good seed bed. The very best strains of Petunias will produce a 
small percentage of inferior flowers, and the smaller plants often produce the 
best flowers; therefore plants should be taken as they come. See inside front 
cover for more detailed planting directions.
