Petunia, Velvet Ball 
Several 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 com¬ 
pactness, 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 diam¬ 
eter, well shaped and of a deep luscious shade of velvety 
blood red. For plant use, for florist sales, or as a border or 
edging plant, Velvet Ball has no equal. Pkt. 25c.
