Among Grandiflora Petunias, the California 
Giants have the largest flowers and are great 
favorites everywhere. The flowers are usually 
of more than one color; and because they are 
tetraploids, both flowers and foliage have un- 
usual substance. The Ruffled Grandifloras are 
(Giant Flowered) not quite as large as the California Giants, but 
bloom more freely with solid or self-colored 
flowers. 
We offer two strains of California Giants: Ball Dwarf Giant No. 1 (pictured below), 
extra dwarf and early blooming, and very popular with florists; and Ball Dwarf Giant 
No. 2, somewhat taller with more color variations. 
We also offer florist strains of 3 top-notch Ruffled Grandiflora Petunias which are 
very popular with gardeners. All three are absolutely uniform for color and habit. 
Popcorn. Our best large flowered white. Huge, glistening paper white blooms. Intro- 
duced by us last year. More dwarf and compact than White Queen, Snowstorm and 
White Cloud. 
Dwarf Elk’s Pride. Best purple blue. Large flowered. 
Dazzler. Brilliant, almost incandescent rose.

For germination, see page 19. When seeds sprout, follow these simple rules. 
As soon as seedlings are visible (about ten days) place in a sunny window of a 
cool room. 55-60° at night and 70° during the day is ideal. If room is dark part of 
the day, cooler temperatures are necessary. If seedlings are grown in Vermiculite, feed with 
prepared soluble fertilizer weekly according to directions. 
When seedlings have four to six leaves, transplant to larger flats of good soil. Space 
2 inches each way. Place in hotbed or cold frame until outdoor planting time. Petunias do 
best in full sun, but will tolerate up to half shade. They prefer a well aerated, moderately 
rich soil. Avoid excesses of water and fertilizer.
