PETUNIA "VELVET BALL" 
Bronze Medal, All-America Council 
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 8-10 inches. There will be a dozen or 
more flowers in bloom at a time, each flower 
being about 2 p 2 inches in diameter, well 
shaped and of a deep luscious shade of vel¬ 
vety blood red. The variety comes remarkably 
true, and for pot plants, or as a border or 
edging plant, "Velvet Ball" has few equals.
