"Snowstorm" 
New Pure White Dwarf Petunia 
A. B. C. Improved "Snowstorm" 
(An A. B. C. Introduction) 
12 inches high, Improved "Snowstorm" is a pure 
white developed along the line of our "Private 
Stock" Mixed color strain. Flowers are the same 
size, 3 to 4 inches in diameter. The same free 
blooming habit makes this new variety particularly 
desirable as a pot or bedding Petunia. Don't over¬ 
look this valuable new kind for the coming spring. 
"Snowstorm" is unquestionably the "Queen" of all 
White Petunias.

UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIAL 
American Bulb Company, Mercedes, Texas, 
1335-1341 W. Randolph, May 9, 1936. 
Chicago, Ill. 
Dear Sirs: Among my trials of about 15 varieties 
of flowers from seeds furnished by you this season, 
several of which have been more than satisfactory, 
I wish to advise that the A. B. C. "De Luxe" Double 
Mixed Petunias which were planted October 14th, 
legan blooming early in February, and the bed is 
still a not of color. They came 109 per cent double; 
about 80 per cent being super-double and frilled, 
with a splendid range of colors and color combina¬ 
tions, the remaining 20 per cent being fully doubled. 
I have won 2 first prizes at flower shows with ex 
hibits from this planting. For the amateur gardener, 
its the best Petunia I have ever seen. Yours truly, 
(Signed) FRED JOHNSTON, 
All-Double "De Luxe" Petunias 
Giant Fringed Dwarf Mixed 
Same type as "World Beauty" illustrated 
on page one, but in choicest mixture. 
This notable strain produces 100 per cent 
Double Flowering Petunias mostly of the 
Giant Fringed Type; the percentage of 
somewhat smaller flowering Doubles 
does not, as a rule, exceed 25 per cent; 
the remainder will be all large flowering 
fringed Doubles. The flowers are very 
large, often measuring 5 inches across, 
exquisitely ruffled and fringed, and con¬ 
tain a good range of brilliant colors. 
In addition to their desirability for pot 
plants and bedding they likewise pro¬ 
vide valuable summer cut flowers for 
the retail grower.
