"Salmon Glory" 
Awarded Silver Medal, 
All-America Council 
This huge-flowered variety 
has soft but rich salmon-pink 
florets with wide creamy 
white eyes, each floret be¬ 
ing about the size of a half 
dollar. This is truly a grand 
novelty, and a worthy vari¬ 
ety for bedding, boxes, and 
cutting.

PETUNIA GRANDIFLORA NANA COMP ACTA 
"VELVET BALL" 
"Velvet Ball" is the last word in compactness, dwarfness and free-flowering habit, 
reaching a height of about 8 inches with a spread of only 8 to 10 inches. There 
will be a dozen or more flowers of a luscious shade of deep velvety red in 
bloom at a time, each flower being about 2 V 2 inches in diameter. The variety 
comes remarkably true, and for pot plants, or as a border or edging plant, "Velvet 
Ball" has few eguals. The supply of seed is limited, so early ordering is recom¬ 
mended. Tr. Pkt.$1.00 l/l6oz. $3.00 
A most outstanding introduction which we recommend to our PETUNIA RUFFLED GIANT "MARILYN" 
With the popularity of the Ruffled Giant type of Petunia and the desirability of 
salmon colored flowers, "Marilyn" should enjoy immense popularity this season. 
It has large, shallow, open-throated flowers, ruffled but not fringed, 4 to 5 inches 
in diameter, in a lovely shade of salmon rose, strongly veined deeper salmon- 
rose. The plants are free flowering, upright in habit, with broad, heavy foliage, 
commencing to flower when but a few inches high and con¬ 
tinuing profusely throughout the summer months. "Marilyn" has 
our highest recommendation, for we know it will be enthusi¬ 
astically received. Tr. Pkt.$1.00 
customers with every confidence. The attractive orange-scarlet 
balloon seed pods are of the same color as the well-known 
Franchetti, but are twice as large. We are certain this new form 
will find favor with all who like this fine winter decorative plant.
