PETUNIA 
IGLOO. Bronze Medal, 1943. The new extra-compact white

Petunia that continues to have such a wealth of blooms through- 
out the entire summer. The flowers are medium size, pure white 
with a slight yellowing in the throat, and are 100 per cent true. 
Every flower is just exactly alike. The fact that the plant re- 
mains so uniformly compact throughout the entire season (if the 
soil is not too rich) makes it ideal for borders. Every plant is a 
perfect mound of white, 8 to 10 inches high, reminding one of an 
Eskimo igloo. See illustration on front cover. Pkt. 25c.

cover. Pkt. 25c.
