BURPEE'S NEW FLOWERS 
2459 Salmon Supreme Winner of the Highest All-America Award for 
1938. Brand new color in Petunias. When first opening, flowers are rich coral-salmon, 
changing as they mature to a glistening soft salmon-pink. They grow 2 in. across 
and are deeply flve-lobed. We have placed it in the hybrida nana compacta group,

uniform height of about 1 ft. and a spread of about IK it.; ideal for 
Ixirders, edgings or beds. Pkt. 35^; 2 pkts. 650; 3 pkts. 950.

perfect ball-shaped mounds 6 in. across, so are very desirable for borders

carmine, all in sharp contrast to the white, lightly veined carmine throat.
