"FLOWER SEEDS FOR FLORISTS" 
JNC. 
FINE PANSIES 
W E PERSONALLY and regularly inspect the pansy seed growers of Europe and America. This 
is done in the interest of the finest strains for florists. Of equal value to us, and to the strains 
we sell, is the flowering trials we annually carry out in our greenhouses. This, of course, 
enables us clearly to determine values. Th e result of these trials and the responsibility of the growers 
behind them determines our source of supply, regardless of what part of the world it must come from. 
You will find the growing of pansies treated in our Ball Red Book. 
Ball Giant Mixture. This is a long-stemmed mixture of fancy original colors. Of vigorous and fairly dwarf growth. 
Flowers are particularly rich in coloring and substance. An ideal strain for use either as plants for spring sales 
or for cutting. We spare no cost in making our Ball Giant Mixture a fine all-purpose strain, and we believe 
it is not generally equalled, especially considering the price we ask for it. 
Tr. Pkt. 40c; M oz. $1.50; 3^ oz. $3.00; 1 oz. $5.00; 4 oz. $18.00. 
Ball Giant Mixture — Dwarf. Very similar to our regular Giant Mixture but of 
distinctly more compact growth.4 oz. $30.00 
Maple Leaf Giants. The largest flowering strain of pansies. Long-stemmed and of 
heavy growth. Because of its strong growth it is found by some growers to hold 
out particularly well for outdoor growing. A first class cut flower variety, tho 
the colors lack the original markings found in our Ball Giant Mixture. 4 oz. $25.00 
Super Maple Leaf Giants. A selection for extra strong growth and the largest flowers. 
We suggest this strain for cut flower or exhibition growers. 
Engelmann's Special. An especially choice strain for bedding purposes because of 
its compact growth. Practically 100% of the Rowers are 5-blotched, and it is 
largely made up of reddish shades. 
Engelmann's Giants. An extra large flowering strain and fairly compact in growth. 
The color range will be found somewhat more varied than the Maple Leaf Giants 
and nearly equal to them in size. 
Improved Swiss Giants. A choice well-known strain with plenty bright original 
colors. Excellent for size, stem, and free flowering habit.4 oz. $20.00 
Super Swiss Giants. A selection for richer coloring and size. 
Roggli Giant Mixture. A high class strain of large fancy original coloring. 4 oz. $1 5.00 
Steele's Masterpiece. A fine American produced all-purpose strain. All our stock 
of this comes direct from Mr. Steele. 
Steele's Jumbo Mixture. Of very strong heavy growth, long-stemmed, and extra 
large flowers. We believe this is Mr. Steele’s finest strain, and all our seed
