^^Flower Seeds for Florists*' 
BALL Calendula 
(3,000 Seeds 
per Ounce) 
Originated and introduced by us over 20 years back, Ball 
Calendula continue today the only class used for cut flower 
purposes. 
A sowing during January or early February will produce a 
heavy spring crop, or the early or winter crop that is cut down 
by Valentine’s Day will break from the base and come back 
with a heavy spring crop.

SCHIZANTHUS 
After January 1 we do not recommend using our Ball Dwarf 
strain for spring pot plants. The stronger or taller growers sown 
after this date will make excellent 3 in. pot plants for spring 
combinations. Our Brilliant Blend mixture will make a somewhat 
larger plant than will the more compact Monarch strain that is 
better for the earlier sowing. 
*Ball Dwarf 3Iixture. We have been perfecting this strain 
for a number of years and now have it up to 75-80% true 
dwarf with a fairly good color range. Because of its dwarf 
habit, we do not care to flower it in larger than a 4 in. pot. 
Tr. pkt., 50c; Vs oz., $1.50. 
*Ball Brilliant Blend. A carefully blended mixture of medium 
dwarf strains, all large flowered with fairly dark bright colors. 
Well suited to cutting; if properly pinched, makes fine pot 
specimens. Tr. pkt., 35c; Vs oz., 75c; Vi oz., $1.15. 
Dr. Badger’s Improved Hybrids. An extra large flowered strain 
with choice colors and medium dwarf habit. Tr. pkt., 35c; Vt oz., 
$ 1 . 00 . 
* Pansy-Flowered (Danbury Park). The only true Pansy-flowered 
strain we have ever flowered. Comes true to large flat pansy-like 
flowers. Soft pastel shades. Tr. pkt., 35c; Vs oz., $1.00. 
A few Originator’s packets at 75c each.
