tubular florets in a delicate shade of golden 
yellow, surrounded by a single row of 
broad Mahogany-red guard petals as shown

fine new cut flower, and a showy garden 
plant. An early bloomer beginning to flower

New PETUNIA —Glow 
A great achievement in the development of 
Petunias first offered this year, and is much 
talked about; a rare combination of dazzling 
carmine-red color with dwarf bushy plants 
as shown in photo. Individual flower meas¬ 
ures more than 2 % inches across and borne 
in great profusion over the dwarf bushy 
plants. We believe in richness of color, this 
excels all other varieties of similar type. 
Under the sun the glowing carmine-red is 
particularly beautiful. Highly recommended 
for pot culture or for the border.
