Petunia Grandiflora Nana Compacta Velvet Ball (Vis-Bodger) 
S EVERAL NEW PLANT types have been developed in Petunias recently, most 
of them showing the influence of streamlining. The new Grandiflora Nana 
Compacta type which we present herewith follows this streamlined tendency 
in a plant which comes as near as any so far developed to a round compact 
ball shape. The habit is the last word in excellence for compactness, dwarfness 
and free flowering character. The plants reach a height of about 8 inches, with 
a spread of only 8 to 10 inches and will have a dozen or more flowers in bloom 
at a time, each comparatively large, about 2% inches in diameter, well shaped 
and of a deep luscious shade of velvety blood red. The variety comes remark¬ 
ably true both to color and habit, having only 6% off types and shades. For pot 
plant use, for florist sales, or as a border or edging plant, Velvet Ball has no 
equals. Vis Brothers are the originators of Velvet Ball, which through an 
arrangement with their firm we are growing and distributing this year. Seed 
supplies are limited this season, so orders should be placed at once for delivery 
after harvest.
