AMERICAN BULB COMPANY • CHICAGO AND NEW YORK 
New All Double Flowering Fringed Petunia "World Beauty," Original Strain 
(Named and Introduced by the American Bulb Company) 
ALL-DOUBLE 
DE LUXE 
PETUNIAS 
Victorious Strain 
"ORCHID BEAUTY" 
(Illustrated on page 37) 
The popularity that "World Beauty" has 
achieved with the trade and the public 
prompted the introducers of this val¬ 
uable kind to endeavor to produce an 
orchid-colored variety of the same type 
and of equal value. 
After several years, they have accom¬ 
plished their objective. "Orchid Beauty" 
is 100 percent outstanding. Flowers are 
a beautiful orchid, heavily veined 
deeper lilac or violet. 
As with most Petunias, there is a slight 
variation in the shading. We recom¬ 
mend this kind as being on a par with 
"World Beauty." 500 seeds. $ 1.25

"WORLD BEAUTY" 
Produces (from seed) practically 100% large double fringed flowers of the 
most beautiful rosy carmine color, wonderfully free blooming plants of the 
dwarf, compact growth which makes this grand new sort particularly 
desirable for pot plants as v/ell as bedding. "World Beauty" has really 
created a sensation wherever shown. A few plants in bloom for demon¬ 
stration to the public early in the season will undoubtedly result in an 
active and most profitable demand for this new favorite. 
For Mother's 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 March 1st next. We say by all 
means if you culture Petunias, do not leave "World Beauty" off your list. 
It is unquestionably the "last word" in Double Petunias. (Illustrated above.)

Choice Small Flowered Double Petunia 
"Double Rosy Morn" Dwarf 
This beautiful small-flowered Double Pink Petunia has come into the 
greatest favor, especially as a pot plant. However, since seed produces 
only a nominal number of double flowers, it is well to sow early and 
take cuttings from the true double. The single flowers produced from this 
strain are, however, equal to the highest type of Rosy Morn, and all 
available. Tr. Pkt.$1.00 1/64 oz.$1.75 1/32 oz.$3.00
