^^Flower Seeds for Florists*^ 
Calceolarias 
About 20,000 seeds per %2 oz. 
Irresistibly attractive cool temperature pot plants. Not popular 
in our south because of their low temperature requirement. Finest 
plants we ever produced were in a house that could hardly be kept 
from freezing in severe weather. Seed is exceedingly small. No 
attempt should be made to cover it and if allowed to get dry 
or kept too constantly wet, it easily perishes. Also, instead of 
potting seedlings, we transplant to flats, later potting into 3’s. 
Calceolarias respond favorably to electric light treatment. We run 
annual trials of all strains offered and inspect the growing crops.

SCHIZANTHUS, Ball Dwarf Strain 
The attractive form and free-flowering habit of 
these plants have increased their popularity 
every year since their introduction. 
Both items on 
Schizanthus 
About 45,000 seeds per oz. 
Schizanthus have more value for cutting than some retail growers appreciate. 
They outlast Peas for this purpose, but the flowers shatter too easily for much handling. 
Like Calceolarias, they are very much a cool temperature crop and for that reason, 
are not much noted in our south. A Jan. sowing will make choice 3 in. plants for 
spring combinations. An August sowing grown in a 45° house will make fine big 
5 or 6 in. pot specimens in flower by Feb. 
*Ball Brilliant Blend. A carefully blended mixture of medium dwarf strains, all 
large flowered with fairly dark bright colors. Well suited to cutting; and if 
properly pinched, will make fine pot specimens. Tr. pkt., 35c; % oz., 75c; % oz., 
$1.15. 
*Ball Dwarf Mixture. Thru persistent plant selection work, we have been able 
to improve this strain both in trueness to type and also in darker and brighter 
colors. Quite distinctive and valuable as a pot plant, being about half the height 
of most strains. Particularly choice flowered in small sizes from a late summer 
or fall sowing. Tr. pkt., 50c; % oz., $1.00. 
Dr. Badger’s Improved Hybrids. An extra large flowered strain with choice 
colors and medium dwarf habit. An excellent all purpose strain, being large enuf 
for pot plants and long-stemmed enuf for cutting. Tr. pkt., 35c; % oz., $1.00. 
Pansy-Flowered (Danbury Park, originator’s seed). The only true Pansy-flowered 
strain we have ever flowered. Comes about 95% true to large flat pansy-like 
flowers. Attractive soft pastel shades. Originator packets 75c each. 
*Giant Blotched. Noted for its brightly colored flowers, each having a bold dark 
center that contrasts well with the bright pink and rose shades that predominate. 
Two to three weeks earlier than most strains and effective as a pot plant if well 
pinched. Tr. pkt., 50c; Vs oz., $1.25. 
* Monarch Strain (Hurst). Extra large flowered, even some larger than Dr. Badg¬ 
er’s. Has same desirable medium tall habit and choice range of colors; many 
bright rose shades. Tr. pkt., 50c; Vs oz., $ 1 . 00 . 
Bridal Veil. Pure paper white and of medium tall habit. Tr. pkt., 35c; Vs oz., 70c.
