Spring Flowering 
Sweet Peas 
For flowering during the 
Spring months, to follow 
the early or Winter vari¬ 
eties, this new intermediate 
class will be found longer 
stemmed and because of 
their stronger growth will 
flower longer—well into 
June with us. They will not 
flower during the Winter 
months. Should be started 
any time from November to 
February. For list turn to 
Sweet Pea pages. 
Petunia “Ball Dwarf 
Giant No. 1” 
This well known strain of 
dwarf Giants is as nearly perfect as it is possible to 
make it. It will produce 80-85% true dwarf Giants in 
a mixture of medium deep colors. Well grown plants 
in 3-4 inch pots will produce 5 inch flowers and such 
plants are quickly sold. If roots are permitted to work 
thru drainage in pot they will promptly draw up. Should 
be sown early in January. 
14 Tr. Pkt. 75c; Tr. Pkt. $1.25; 1/6 4 oz. $2.25; 1/0 oz. 
$4.00; 1 / 1 6 oz. $7.00. 
Petunias All Double Bine Brocade 
Beautiful shade of violet blue, wdthout rogue colors, but 
with the usual number of semi-doubles. Of medium size 
and distinctly compact growth. Under our conditions 
it is inclined to be some later flowering than other All 
Doubles and for this reason should be started earlier and 
not pinched. Was awarded the highest number of points 
and a silver medal in All America trials. 
14 Tr. Pkt. $1.25; Tr. Pkt. $2.00; 1/64 oz. $8.00; 1/0 oz. 
$15.00. 
Petunia “Fair Lady” 
(First Lady) An attractive light silvery rose or flesh 
color as will be noted on front cover. A distinctly original 
color in the dwarf compact Hybrida class. Where a light 
effect is wanted for bedding. Fair Lady should be used 
and will be found well named. Silver medal winner in the

Tr. Pkt. 50c; 1/32 oz. $2.00; /ic oz. $3.50; % oz. $6.00. 
Petunia Topaz Queen 
Another striking and original color in bedding petunias. 
The plate on our back cover is an exact Kodachrome re¬ 
production taken in our seed fields. The shade of color, 
brilliant scarlet rose is a dazzling one. Topaz Queen is a 
semi-dwarf Hybrida, of exceptionally strong growth. This 
growth together with its strong color will give it outstand¬ 
ing value for bedding 
where summers are trying. 
We find it a week to 10 
days later than the dwarf 
Hybridas in getting into 
flower. 
Tr. Pkt. 50c; % oz. $1.50; 
14 oz. $2.75; 1 oz. $10.00. 
Petunia Celestial 
Rose Improved 
Distinctly more uniform 
in habit and a shade darker 
than the original stock from 
which it was selected. Con¬ 
sidering the number of 
seeds in an ounce, the 
added cost of this strain per 
1000 plants is small indeed. 
Tr. Pkt. 40c; /s oz. $1.50; 
1/4 oz. $2.50; 1 oz. $8.00. 
Snapdragons 
For outdoor flowering we prefer the early or forcing 
class because of better and truer color. By sowing in 
February, growing to 3 or 4 inch pots and planting out, 
we flower them in June. Where rust must be considered, 
we recommend the original or later flowering class in 
which there are some good rust proof varieties. For com¬ 
plete list of both classes turn to Snapdragon pages. 
Stock Non Branching “Ball Apricot” No. 20 
Identical to Bismarck Chamois in color, a clear buff or 
chamois. An original color in the non branching class. 
Around 60% double and of excellent column habit. Tho 
we have been some years perfecting this color, it is 
offered at the standard price of I /2 Tr. Pkt., 60c; Tr. Pkt. 
$1.00; % oz., $2.50; 1 oz., $9.00. 
The Howard and Smith Crested Zinnia 
This is a giant type with a crested or anemone center. We 
haven’t had it on trial for our conditions, but we are 
assured that a large percentage will come true to its at¬ 
tractive type. We recommend a trial of it. Tr. Pkt. 35c; 
14 oz. $1.00; 1 oz. $3.40. 
Seed of all sown the same day, shows the value of Ball’s Early 
for cutting or pot plants. 
Our garden and greenhouse plants come from varying parts of the world: treat them accordingly.
