''FLOWER SEEDS 
FOR FLORISTS" 
INC, 
BALL BRANCHING STOCKS (Continued) 
NO. 11. MIXTURE. 
This season we oFfer an exceptionally good mixture of Non-Branching Stocks. It will be made up largely of the 
good standard varieties Lilac Lavender and Ball White, also about 5% Crimson. After August 15 this mixture will 
also contain some of our new Malmaison Pink and our new Dark Ball’s Blue of some selections that don’t come true 
enough to use as stock seed for next season. A packet of this mixture will acquaint you with this new Blue. We 
believe the mixture will be what a retail business should have that wants a limited amount of all colors in the non¬ 
branching class. PRICES of Mixture: Tr. Pkt. 60c; Tr. Pkt. $1.00; oz- $2.25; 1 oz. $8.00. 
No. 12. Ball’s Blue. We have trued up a non-branching strain of clear deep orchid or mauve blue, strictly non¬ 
branching, and we have selections that are 100% true to color, which is a new and attractive one in the strictly 
non-branching class. Ready for release in 1936. 
BRANCHING TYPE STOCKS 
O F THE various branching classes the Bismarcks are clearly the best for cut Rower purposes. They are some earlier, 
not inclined to branch so heavily, and the proportion of doubles is generally better than will be found in the 
other classes. Very good, non-branching, long-stemmed flowers can be grown by using the branching kind 
and disbudding them. For this purpose plant close, as suggested for the non-branching. As the center Rower spike 
draws up, laterals will appear about the top of the stem. It is just as important and necessary to remove these side 
growths as it is to disbud mums. Failure to do so will result in soft worthless stock. A retail grower should space 
part of his branching kind about 6x8, and top when about 8 in. tall. This will freely provide fairly long-stemmed Rowers. 
The colors we find most popular for cut Rowers are starred*.
