THE KILGORE SEED COMPANY, Florida’s Leading Seedsmen 
Petunia 
ONE OF THE BEST ANNUALS FOR GENERAL PLANTING IN FLORIDA 
Plant from September thru June. Approximate time seed sowing to bloom —2 y z to 3 months. 
By sheer merit, the Petunia has earned a place near the top of any list of winter and spring 
annuals for Florida. Each year there are more and more acres of blooming petunias scattered 
across the state of Florida. They are outstanding favorites and used extensively for bedding, 
bordering and roadside beautification. The single, small flowered sorts will stand consider¬ 
able cold and will bloom well into the hot davs of summer. 
The very small seeds should be sown in boxes and transplanted when the seedlings are well 
grown, to the bed or border, setting plants 18 inches apart. Petunias are in nowise particular, 
but do best in moderately rich, well drained, though moist soil. Since they grow and bloom 
over long periods they require lasting fertilizer for best results. For use on Petunia beds 
when they are made up there is no better fertilizer than bone meal. When transplanting, make 
the soil rich with well rotted manure. Set the plants the same depth that they grew before.
