5940 The Gold Medal Winner 
in the All-American Awards last 
year. Petunia Flaming Velvet has 
caused a sensation because of the 
uniform excellence of its velvety, 
rich, blood-red flower. The plants 
are semi-compact in habit and very 
uniform in growth. The flowers 
are medium large and borne in 
great profusion. Classed among 
the Bedding type, this variety is 
quite a requisite to this group and 
is destined for popularity along 
with such varieties as Rose of 
Heaven and Rosy Morn. So bril¬ 
liant and gorgeous a sight that every garden 
should have a display of Flaming Velvet 
either in a bed or border. Height V /2 ft.
