W E ORIGINATED and released the BALL CALENDULA 12 years ago. Through 
single plant selections made annually in our greenhouses we not only maintain 
its fine standard, but are improving it, and we are going to continue doing so. 
Our latest is the long-stemmed orange MASTERPIECE. The dark center brightens it and we believe 
it is the best orange. GOLD is an extra long stemmed deep golden yellow,- very fine. But for this 
color you might prefer our BALL’S LEMON QUEEN, not quite so deep in color or long stemm€d,-but 
dark centered- — an effective touch. Our LONG ORANGE is a light centered, large, long-stemmed 
orange. SUPREME when well grown in a deep bed as Calendula should be, this dark centered orange 
is a richly effective color. A trifle 
more compact in habit and 
freer flowering than the others. 
SENSATION was introduced by a 
competitor after we released Long 
Orange. It was supposed to be 
shaded crimson. We find the two 
identical, but some of our friends 
claim to find crimson in Sensation so 
we list it. Our APRICOT is a rich 
straw color dark centered, medium 
long stemmed. Adds a pleasing 
variety, but not wanted in quantity. 
Our WHITE is a dark centered light 
cream, rather short stemmed valuable 
for bedding.

The most profitable greenhouse 
calendula crop is the one flowered Ball Lemon Queen (Dark Center), 
in mid-winter but a winter sowing 
will produce freely during spring. If you are not familiar with growing Calendula our BALL RED BOOK 
might be of service to you. 
SUNSHINE, the new English variety is a loose petalled bright yellow, not double enough for cut 
flowers, long-stemmed and of some value for outdoor work. 
PASTEL SHADES MIXTURE very choice. On light side for color and compact habit. Just what 
you want for a bedding mixture of gay colors. See below for prices on above two items.
