*Ball Double ^^Thite. Since introducing this strain in ’34, 
demand for it is constantly increasing as a standard green¬ 
house and out door cut flower crop. Plants from a Jan. or 
Feb. sowing transplanted into the field in May or June pro¬ 
duce a fine crop in early fall. These same clumps can then 
be moved indoors in Nov. for a spring greenhouse crop. A 
late summer sowing will also make fine plants for spring 
forcing. Differs from ordinary cutting propagated strain in 
having smaller and more compact completely double flowers 
that hold up much better in shipping and handling. Some later 
flowering; responds readily to additional lighting for forcing.
