14 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 Mother’s 
Day Sales. 
To grow good Petunias you must have rich soil. Be- 
fore 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 care- 
ful the selection, you sometimes will find a few plants 
which revert to the old type; these usually bloom first. 
This is a natural habit of Petunias.
