Burpee’s Giant Ruffled Petunias 
Petunia hybrida grandiflora 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; 
marketable flowering plants can be had 
in four months from the time of sowing the 
seed. Plants bloom throughout the summer 
until frost if planted in a-sunny situation and 
given well-drained garden soil that is not 
overly rich. Do not give too much water. ¢ 
Petunia 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. Plant may be 
set in the open ground where they are to remain 
after soil has become warm and all danger of 
cold weather is past. Easily grown if directions 
on the seed packages are carefully followed. Extra 
care in sowing seed and handling plants will reward 
you with blooms of unsurpassed elegance and beauty.
