The Balconies 
Because of their strong spreading growth and fairly large flowers, 
this class will grow and flower freely outdoors where summer con¬ 
ditions are trying on Petunias. It will be noted that a few varieties 
in this class are not tall, but the typical Balcony is not dwarf. 
Their fine growth and flowering habit gives them effective value 
for bedding, for which they deserve to be more freely used where 
summers are trying. Also popular for porch boxes and vases be¬ 
cause of their overhanging habit. However, such varieties as are not 
so tall shouldn’t be used for this purpose. Because of the value 
of this class, we have added a number of attractive new varieties 
to our list.

color in the newer Balconies and with true Balcony habit.

Dwarf Hybridas 
This popular class is also referred to as Nana Compacta 
because of their uniformly dwarf or compact growth. This is 
the most valuable class of Petunias because of their very gen¬ 
eral use for bedding. To a valuable extent they combine dwarf 
habit with growth strong enough to be used successfully under 
the most trying summer conditions. Also this class covers a 
wide range of attractive colors. In addition to hedding, the 
Dwarf Hybrids, because of their shorter growth, should be 
used for combinations, and for this same reason they do make 
neat small pot plants. As a class they come quite generally 
true to their dwarf habit and color, but, like all seed grown 
stock, some breaks in both hahit and color do occur. 
Admiral. Most attractive dwarf blue bedding Petunia. The 
flowers are ruffled edge, adding greatly to its distinctiveness. 
It might be classed as a small Grandiflora, but its free 
flowering, quite dwarf habit places it closer to the Dwarf 
Hybridas. Ideal for bedding or pots. We use only the 
German originator’s seed. One lot of this stock the past 
season reverted some to a white. We believe with an addi¬ 
tional year’s selection work this will be overcome. See 
Novelty List for further description.

Alderman. Clear deep violet-blue. Medium dwarf and excellent 
for bedding. 
Tr. pkt., 25c; Vi oz., 60c; 1 oz., $2.00. 
Celestial Rose. Introduced by us to the American trade in 1933, 
and it immediately became the most popular deep rose for 
bedding. Deeper and brighter than Rose of Heaven. 
Tr. pkt., 35c; Vs oz., 75c; Vi oz., $1.25; 1 oz., $4.00; 2 oz., $7.00.
