also to the Branching Class.

W E DEVOTE a house 300 x 50 ft. entirely to breeding better non-branching 
strains of stocks. This work is in full flower during May of each year and 
you are cordially invited to inspect it. As a result of this work we expect 
to have several new colors in true non-branching strains to release seed of about 
August 1, 1935. There is much to be done in truing up the non-branching habit 
of many so-called Column Stocks. And the proportion of doubles needs increasing 
in some varieties. 
We regret that crop failures in both Europe and America has produced shortages of 
good seed the past few seasons, but we are glad to report our California crop to be 
fairly good the past fall in all colors except Chamois Pink. This new crop of seed is 
well matured and of good germination. We offer the following varieties: 
Lilac Lavender Ball’s White Dwarf 
Ball’s White Ruby 
PRICES, Each: 34 Tr. Pkt. 60c, Tr. Pkt. $1.00, J4 oz. $2.25, 1 oz. $8.00. 
Ball Stocks Mixture. A combination of the above colors proportioned as required 
for most cut flower work. Tr. Pkt. 75c, 34 oz. $2.00; 1 oz. $7.00.
