Burpee’s PETUNIAS 
Petunias are among the most satisfactory annuals for garden display. They succeed in 
ordinary, well-drained garden loam, such as will grow a good crop of vegetables, and in a 
location where they receive plenty of sunlight. Do not plant in the shade nor in soil that 
is overly rich. We offer an extra select assortment of varieties, some of which are suited 
for bedding and pot culture, others are ideal for edgings and mass plantings, while otherg 
are unexcelled for porch and window boxes; all are excellent for cutting. 
Bedding Petunias (Petunia hybrida) 
Plants are extremely free blooming, producing a wealth of flowers even under the most 
trying conditions of weather and soil. Ideal for large beds, borders and porch boxes. Seeds 
may be sown directly outdoors when soil has become warm or, for earliest blooms, start the 
seeds indoors in pots or shallow boxes of fine soil. Grow 1% to 2 ft. tall.
