PETUNIA NANA COMPACTA DWARF HYBRIDS 
Most Widely Used Class for Bedding, Combination Boxes and for Attractive Small Pot Plants 
The Nana Compacta class of Petunias differ from the regular Hybridas principally in that they are more dwarf in 
their habit of growth. While some of the varieties are adaptable to pot culture, their greatest demand is as bedding 
and window box plants. Offer these to your customers by the flat. See also page 23.
