'THE MODERN PETUNIA"—The introduction of the three Petunia 
strains listed on this page has caused the public to become 
Petunia conscious" and further resulted in providing "real profit" 
for the grower who had the foresight to culture them. To provide 
large plants for spring sales, sow seed early. 
FOR FIFTY YEARS or more flower seed specialists have tried 
by every possible experiment to obtain a double Petunia that 
would reproduce more than 50 per cent of double flowers, but 
their efforts have been of no avail. 
It gives us great pleasure, therefore, to be able to introduce to 
our customers a strain giving practically 100 per cent of fully 
duplexed and beautifully fringed flowers of supreme value for 
pot plants, window boxes and general bedding work. We offer 
this strain with every confidence. 
Double Petunia "World Beauty" 
(Illustrated above) 
Produces (from seed) practically 100% large double fringed 
flowers of the most beautiful rosy carmine color, wonderfully free 
blooming plants of dwarf compact growth which makes this grand 
new sort particularly desirable for pot plants as well as bedding. 
World Beauty has really created a sensation wherever shown. 
A few plants in bloom for demonstration to the public early in 
the season will undoubtedly result in an active and most profit¬ 
able demand for this new favorite. 
FOR MOTHERS' DAY 
World Beauty" has proved to be an ideal pot plant and a 
worth-while profit provider. We introduced "World Beauty" to the 
trade and are again securing our seed supply from the originator, 
thereby insuring our customers the true variety. Sow seed early 
and follow with successive plantings up to February 1st next. 
We say by all means if you culture Petunias, do not leave "World 
Beauty off your list. It is unguestionably the "last word" in 
Double Petunias.
