PETUNIAS FOR PROFIT" 
A. B. C. is recognized as headquarters for 
"BETTER PETUNIAS" 
having introduced in past years many 
worthwhile kinds that are now standard 
in the trade, particularly "World Beauty" 
and "Private Stock" single mixture, which, 
we might say, has done more to popularize 
the Petunia than any other varieties that 
have been offered in the past twenty years. 
"A. B. C. PRIVATE STOCK" 
(Eriksson Strain) 
Single Large Flowering Dwarf Fringed and 
Ruffled Mixed—the Single Petunia De Luxe 
Produced under glass by that eminent florist-grower, 
Mr. Ernst Eriksson, of Riverside, Illinois (originator of 
Primula Malacoides Erikssoni), this improved strain 
of hand-pollinated large flowering dwarf Petunias is 
in our estimation the choicest and finest of this type 
available. It is excellent for pot plants, porch and 
window boxes, and for bedding. This strain is as 
profitable as it is beautiful. We recommend you 
include it in your Petunia planting.
