FLOWER SEEDS FOR FLORISTS 
/ / 
BALL PANSIES 
W E PERSONALLY and regularly visit the expert pansy specialists of Europe and America in the 
interest of the choicest strains for florists. Of equal value to us as distributors of pansy seed 
are the extensive flowering trials we annually carry on at our greenhouses. Among them are 
strains from the World’s best producers. The first hand information these trials furnish us is, of course, 
reflected in the varieties and strains we offer. We can do nothing further to insure the quality and 
value of our stock. 
Excellent pansy plants for spring sales are produced from a January sowing. The seedlings can be 
later planted into cold frames, or they can be grown on in a cold greenhouse where they produce 
cleaner and more attractive flowers than in an outdoor frame. 
Ball Giant Mixture. This is a fairly long-stemmed mixture of fancy and original colors. The general effect 
is a bright live one; contains none of the ordinary self colors such as blue, white or yellow. We recommend 
this as the best all-purpose strain on our list.
