Velvet Flower 
See Color Plate, Page 3. 
Most attractive annuals, large petunia-like flower in richest color 
display. The flower coloring is rich indeed—purples, crimson, and 
each flower veined with a glint of gold. The plants grow 2 feet tall 
and bear long stems. This is really a very beautiful flower, and 
though easy to grow it is unusual enough to give it distinction in 
your garden. There is no other flower that has the same purple and 
gold color combination. Visitors at our Trial Grounds always re¬ 
mark about the magnificent beauty of these flowers.
