“FLOWER SEEDS 
FOR FLORISTS” 
mid summer. Flowers quite large, light pink to deep rose and 
semi double. We believe this a valuable addition to the perennial 
garden. Tr, pkt., 50c; % oz., $2.35; 1 oz., $8.00. 
Impatiens—Dwarf Strains. 
We found this in Germany a few years ago and are hardly able 
to keep up with the demand for it. Quite uniformly dwarf as 
pictured and excellent for small pot plant and bedding, for which 
it should be used in shady locations. We offer two strains Bright 
Carmine and Mixture, see page 34 for prices. 
Ipomoea Heavenly Blue. (Clarke’s Early.) 
The choicest of all Morning Glories. Deep sky blue with light 
throat. About two weeks earlier than the original, but still pro¬ 
duces growth at the cost of flowers in deep, rich soil. Tr. pkt., 
20c; 1 oz., 65c. 
the stems. Valuable for any purpose that Forget Me Not can be 
used. Tr. pkt., 35c; V 4 , oz., 85c; 1 oz., $2.85. 
Nierembergia Hippomanica. 
Light lavender blue flowers freely produced thruout our mid¬ 
west summers on well rounded dwarf, 5-6 in. plants. Especially 
attractive for border work. Tr. pkt., 50c; %2 oz., $1.75. 
Christmas Pepper “Ball Strain.” 
Another product of our greenhouse selection. The outstanding 
merit of the Ball Strain is its uniformly dwarf growth, im¬ 
portant in any pot plant. White, purple and red fruit produced 
early, all turning bright red on mature plants. We prefer a May 
sowing and to grow this entirely in pots avoiding rich soil. Tr. pkt., 
25c; Vi oz., 50c; 1 oz., $1.75. 
Lupins Russell Strain. 
This strain clearly replaces the original perennial Polyphyllus 
because of the larger flower effect due to standard or wings of in- 
“GOLD” is the name of this new odorless Marigold, both flowers 
and foliage being entirely odorless. Color, deep golden orange, 
valuable for cutting, especially indoors. Photo was taken in May 
from a January 29th sowing. 
THE SEASON’S FINEST PETUNUS 
Petunia “All Double” Strains. 
These strains produce from 50 to 75% full double flowers, balance 
semi double, the % will depend some on cultural conditions. These 
strains are outstanding value in petunias for they not only make 
readily sold pot plants but their strong growth, after the seedling 
stage is past, makes them ideal for bedding, and summer cutting. 
For list of varieties and prices, see page 4. 
Petunia Ball Dwarf Giants No. 1. 
This most uniformly dwarf giant strain available is produced 
for us by an European specialist and it represents the last word in 
the dwarf giant class. % tr. pkt., 75c; tr. pkt., $1.25; oz., 
$2.25; y 32 oz., $4.00; Vie oz., $7.00. 
Petunia Salmon Beauty. 
Of medium dwarf growth, nearly giant size and of a rich shade 
of salmon rose pink. This is outstanding for pleasing, nearly 
100% true color. Tr. pkt., 75c; %4 oz., $1.50; %2 oz., $2.50. 
Petunia White Queen. 
This extra large ruffled medium dwarf Pure White was intro¬ 
duced by us two years ago. The largest in the Grandiflora class 
and choice for either bedding or pots. Tr. pkt., 50c; %4 oz., 
$1.50. 
Petunia Admiral. 
Dwarf hybrida ruffled blue—particularly choice for color and 
habit. While the Originator’s stock that we offer is most de¬ 
pendable, we did find a few whites in it the past season. This 
point should, of course, be improved in the present season’s stock. 
Tr. pkt., 75c; %2 oz., $1.75; ViQ oz., $3.00. 
Petunia King Henry. 
Can best be described as a dwarf Black Prince. The habit is 
uniformly compact making it the ideal velvety crimson for bedding 
or pots. Classed as a Hybrida Nana Compacta. Tr. pkt., 50c; %2 
oz., $1.25; yi6 oz., $2.25; Vs oz., $4.00. 
dividual flowers being better expanded. Hardy Lupins are at their 
best where summer temperatures are not excessive. See page 47 
for prices. 
Marigold “Gold.” (See Cut.) 
Foliage and flowers of this new golden yellow are entirely odor¬ 
less. It is medium size, carnation type of flower, strong free growth 
and particularly valuable for summer cutting. Tr. pkt., 35c; Vi oz., 
65c; 1 oz., $2.35. 
Matricaria Ball Strain. 
Another valuable Ball introduction. Pure White, extra long 
stemmed and comes from 75 to 80% true, full double. ^ While 
some growers prefer the regular cutting propagated variety for 
greenhouse use, the value of Ball Matricaria for outdoors is un¬ 
questioned because of its long stems. V2 tr. pkt., 30c; Tr. pkt., 
50c; Vs oz., $1.00; Vi oz., $1.75. 
Myosotis “Ball’s Early.” 
Exact color of the variety Blue Bird, differing only in being 
early flowering. Should be grown in fairly deep soil to draw up 
Modern magazine ads demonstrate the value 
Scabiosa Blue Moon. (New.) All American Award. 
This annual variety will be found distinctly larger and stiffer 
stemmed than the standard type. Also the flat pincushion fonn 
of the old varieties gives way in this improvement to a full, ^11 
built up flower. A distinct improvement in annual Scabiosa. Tr. 
pkt., 35c; Vi oz., $1.25; 1 oz., $4.25. 
Stocks Non Branching Ball Pink. (No. 11) 
Another of our greenhouse selection products, introducing an 
entirely new color to this class of stocks. It is exactly the shade 
of Bismarck Rose and is well received by market retail growers.

20th. We have a good supply of seed. V 2 tr. pkt., 60c; 1 tr. 
pkt., $1.00; Vi oz., $2.25; 1 oz., $8.00.

and pure color. Tr. pkt., 35c; ^ oz., $1.15; 1 oz., $4.00.
