A vigorous new Petunia in the Dwarf Bedding or Hybrida 
Nana Compacta class with an unusual glowing color difficult to 
reproduce in print. Basically, it is carmine rose overlaid with a 
touch of salmon. Plants are compact, 12-14” high, early and 
extremely free-flowering, bearing a wealth of 212” flowers all 
summer. Particularly useful where a Petunia deeper and richer 
plants make Comanche rather out- 
standing in this unique color range. 
Also, it seems to hold its red color 
under shady and foggy conditions 
and on aging much better than Fire 
Chief. Single flowers, 2144 to 234 
inches in diameter, have superior sub- 
stance and provide valuable cutting 
material. Pkt.. 50c
