SINGLE-FLOWERED VARIETIES 
A. B. C. IMPROVED “ELK’S PRIDE ” 
The DeLuxe of Purple Petunias 
The most outstanding of all purple Petunias for pots, boxes, bedding, etc., 
"A. B. C. Improved Elk's Pride" is of upright growth and unusually free 
flowering. The color is a brilliant royal purple, with flowers of good size. 
This valuable strain (Bountiful Strain) is produced under glass and hand- 
pollinated and consequently comes quite true from seed. We have sup¬ 
plied "Elk's Pride" to the trade for the past ten years, and our growers 
invariably repeat their purchases of this excellent variety from year to 
year.

Dear Sirs: Sept. 16, 1939. 
I thought maybe you'd be interested in this. I used your seed for Petunias last year. The 
"Eriksson's Private Stock" sold rapidly in 4-in. and 5-in. pots at 25c and 35c each and caused lots 
of "Ohs" and "Ahs" and favorable comment. "Snowball," "Gaiety" and "Loveliness" next best. 
All that I am ordering now, namely, "World Beauty," "Loveliness," "Snowball," "Gaiety," 
"Private Stock," "Snowstorm," "Dwarf Elk's Pride," are really good. All bloom wonderfully here 
all summer in any location. Will be back for more later. Had 5,000 in pots last Spring.
