"FLOWER SEEDS FOR FLORISTS" 
BALL BRANCHING STOCKS 
The Following varieties are the only ones we are familiar with that are strictly non-branching and of 
good cut flower colors. We have developed a dark orchid blue, a pure early flowering white, and 
a clear rose that we expect to have enough seed of to release next season. 
PLEASE NOTE: Our figures on percentages of double Rowers are from actual count. We occasionally get reports 
on these same strains of 75-80% double. We know that an actual count would not bear this out. On the other hand 
reports come in on this same stock to the effect that nearly all are single. We know that usually such are estimates 
made on the first Rowers to open and that are always the singles. Because of the several strains of Ball White and Chamois 
Pink we offer this season, we are numbering all varieties offered. Use these numbers and names to avoid possible errors. 
NO. 1. LILAC LAVENDER. 
Highly attractive, clear bright lavender. The most valuable cut Rower color in any market. Medium long-stemmed 
and fairly early Rowering. Produces fully 99% non-branching stems, and for a number of years this variety has 
averaged 65-70% double Rowers. We have a good supply of seed of this variety ready for immediate delivery. 
34 Tr. Pkt. 60c; Tr. Pkt. $1.00,- 34 oz. $2.25; 1 oz. $8.00. 
NO. 2. BALL WHITE. 
Ball White belongs to the Champion Long-stemmed Column class. Under some conditions the large white Rowers 
will be slightly tinged blush, never enough, however, to prevent its use as a clear white. With its fine stem goes a 
long Rower spike. Its heavy growth makes it about a week later than Lilac Lavender. The proportion of doubles 
runs consistently from 60-65%. Our strain of Ball White is one of our finest standard market varieties, and we 
have a limited supply of seed ready for immediate delivery. We will have a good supply of this fine strain from our 
new crop by August 15. 
34 Tr. Pkt. 60c; Tr. Pkt. $1.00,- 34 oz. $2.25; 1 oz. $8.00. 
No. 3. Ball White — California Strain. Beca use of seed crop shortage of our Ball White last season, we supplied 
ourselves with a California grown strain of it. Our Rowering test of this strain shows it up around 50% doubles. 
We offer this strain at: Tr. Pkt. 50c; 34 oz. $1.50; 1 oz. $5.00. 
NO. 4. BALL WHITE DWARF. 
We regret that our seed crop of this strain was a complete failure the past season and that we have no stock to offer 
this season. We expect to have an improved strain of this to offer next season. 
34 Tr. Pkt. 60c; Tr. Pkt. $1.00; 34 oz. $2.25; 1 oz. $8.00. 
NO. 5. BALL WHITE —EXTRA DWARF. 
This strain averages about 6 in. shorter than our Ball White Dwarf, and for ordinary cut Rower work it will be found 
excellent. However, it should be grown in deep ground beds. On a shallow raised bed or Rats, this strain will 
be rather short stemmed. Flowers are closely set on long Rower spikes with 68% double and strictly non-branch¬ 
ing. Ready for immediate delivery. 
3^ Tr. Pkt. 60c; Tr. Pkt. $1.00; 34 oz. $2.25; 1 oz. $8.00. 
NO. 6. AMERICAN BEAUTY (NEW). 
An attractive rich strong American Beauty rose, a true deep rose. Good stems, early Rowering with 65% doubles, 
and strictly non-branching. While this color is not usually wanted in quantity, a limited amount of it will add variety 
and value to a shipment of Non-Branching Stocks. Ready for immediate delivery. 
34 Tr. Pkt. 60c; Tr. Pkt. $1.00; 34 oz. $2.25; 1 oz. $8.00. 
NO. 7. MALMAISON PINK (NEW). 
Light Enchantress Carnation pink, a new color in Non-Branching Stocks that fills the demand for a pink. We planted 
this extensively the past season and found it well liked. It belongs to the Champion Long-stemmed class, the growth 
and habit being identical with our Ball White. The proportion of doubles the past season was 63%. Seed ready 
for delivery August 1. 
34 Tr. Pkt. 60c; Tr. Pkt. $1.00; 34 oz. $2.25; 1 oz. $8.00. 
NO. 8. RUBY. 
Rich crimson red, fairly long-stemmed, and regularly produces around 65-68% doubles. A limited amount of this 
strong attractive color is called for, especially by retail growers. We find this variety practically identical with 
Illusion. Seed ready for immediate delivery. 
3i Tr. Pkt. 60c; Tr. Pkt. $1.00; 3€ oz. $2.25; 1 oz. $8.00. 
NO. 9. CHAMOIS PINK. 
Apricot or Chamois Pink. A very choice cut Rower color among Non-Branching Stocks. Of more compact habit 
than Lilac Lavender and fully ten days earlier. This variety is inclined to be irregular in percentage of doubles. 
Our past season’s seed crop consisted of 150 single plant selections. Twenty of these came 100% single. All 
the selections that were 50% and over in proportion of doubles were reserved for the seed we offer you this 
season. Of all these selections two were 68% and 71 % double, and they will become our stock seed for next sea¬ 
son. With the removal of the high proportion of singles this strain should come fairly high in doubles. Seed ready 
for delivery August 15 in trade packets only. 
34 Tr. Pkt. 60c; Tr. Pkt. $1.00; 34 oz. $2.25; 1 oz. $8.00. 
No. 10. Chamois Pink No. 2 Slock. Last fall we bought seed of Chamois Pink from the most dependable growers in 
California and Europe. Our Rowering tests of all these lots of seed show them up from 25-45% double. We offer 
this lot of Chamois Pink seed at a reduction from the regular price,- and we believe this will be found a good buy, 
for even the singles in Chamois Pink are choice. Priced at; 
Tr. Pkt. 50c; 34 oz. $1.50; 1 oz. $5.00. 
The success of our business depends very largely on attractiveness of stock and service.
