Carmencita 
A dwarf, deep scarlet-salmon petunia that is a knock-out. The color 
is in the salmon range, but is deeper than anything seen so far. 
It is entirely different from any color yet seen in petunias. Scarlet 
petunias have been advertised before, but have always turned out 
to be only the deeper shades of rose. This is almost a true scarlet 
orange. The dwarf plants are covered with deeply-fringed flowers. 
Perfect for pots. It is proving to be very popular. About 80% 
grandiflora.

Rosita 
Dwarf, rose-pink, very free-blooming. Flowers ruffled. This is nearly 
100% grandiflora, but not huge. Flowers are 3% inches across. 
This is the perfect pot plant petunia. Vigorous and free-branching 
yet very dwarf and uniform.
