"Flower Seeds for Florists” 
ALL DOUBLE PETUNIAS 
All available seed of this class outside of Japan must necessarily 
be of 1940 crop. We keep close check on the germination of all 
the seed we have and since it is but one year old the germination 
in every case is excellent. For this reason and because of our small 
margin of profit on it, we cannot entertain germination complaints 
on any All Double Petunia seed. We believe our supply ample for 
this season, but we suggest ordering early. 
* Brilliancy. (New) In our trials, this new variety seems to improve the popular Pink 
Perfection with a considerably deeper carmine-rose color and a much more dwarf 
and compact growth and more fully double flowers. Because of its more restricted 
growth, we particularly recommend it for this early sowing for spring pot plant 
work. Supplied in half trade pkts. and trade pkts. only. Vi tr. pkt., $1.50. Tr. 
pkts. (over 1000 seeds) $2.75. 
*Pink Perfection (World Beauty) Our biggest selling All Double. Bright deep rose 
and of a dwarf and compact growth, well-suited to pot plant work. 
*Blue Brocade. Our trials of this new variety last season showed it some later in 
flowering than the other varieties and should therefore be sown a little earlier. 
Color deep violet-blue—very close to that of Elk's Pride and with a good pot plant 
habit. Because of limited seed supply, we can furnish Blue Brocade only in half 
pkts. and trade pkts. 
*Gaiety. Very similar to Pink Perfection in growth and habit. Color same bright 
deep rose irregularly blotched and marked white. 
*Snowball. The finest clear white All Double variety. Habit not quite as dwarf and 
compact as the above varieties but quite satisfactory. 
Appleblossom. Color a light apple-blossom pink. Very fine dwarf and compact habit 
and large, fully fringed and double flowers. An excellent variety where its light 
pink color is in demand. 
Loveliness. Color varies between the light pink Appleblossom and deep rose Pink 
Perfection with good pot plant habit. 
Orchid Beauty. Color a medium to light lilac with darker veins. Habit inclined to 
be tall for pots. 
Amaranth Red. As the name implies, a deep magenta or amaranth red—not too 
desirable for most trade. Habit fair. 
*Ball All-Double Mixture. This is a special FORMULA MIXTURE made up from 
the above named varieties in approximately the following proportion: Vi Pink 
Perfection, Va Snowball and the balance in the other varieties. This formula quite 
closely follows our seed sales on the named varieties and is intended for the small 
retail grower who cannot afford to invest in a packet each of several varieties. 
Price on above varieties and mixture except the new Brilliancy (Note above-men¬ 
tioned varieties available in half pkts. and trade pkts. only) Vi trade pkt., $1.25; 
trade pkt. (containing over 1000 seeds), $2.00. Three pkts. of any variety or 
combination of varieties for $5.00. oz., $6.50; 3*2 oz., $12.50. 
Dwarf Giant Mixtures 
Our strain of this class pictured and priced on front cover is the 
heavy selling one. Our No. 2 strain is not so uniformly dwarf, but of 
stronger growth, therefore, better for bedding. 
*No. 1, Ball Dwarf Giants. Judged from our ever-increasing seeds sales, reaction from 
hundreds of "repeat customers" as well as our own complete trials of all strains 
available, there is no better spring pot plant strain available than our No. 1 Dwarf 
Giants. Outstanding for unusually high percentage (85 to 90%) of real Giant or 
Superbissima flowers on extra dwarf and compact plants. The pot plant pictured 
on our front cover is not an exaggerated one but is typical of 85 to 90% of the 
plants produced by our strain. Color mixture contains some new and brighter colors 
than we have offered heretofore which should make the mixture more attractive 
and saleable. We are fortunate in having an abundant supply of seed available for 
immediate shipment and are able to offer it at no increase in price over previous 
season's offerings. 
Price: Vi tr. pkt., 75c; tr. pkt., $1.25; 3 h oz., $2.25; s’s oz., $4.00; iV oz., $7.00. 
No. 2, Ramona Strain. A somewhat more vigorous growing strain of above that is in¬ 
tended for out-door planting. Still a Dwarf Giant strain, however, and with a very 
attractive and varied color mixture. 75% true to the true Dwarf Giant type. Vi tr. 
pkt., 60c; tr. pkt., $1.00; b 1 * oz., $1.75; oz., $2.75; A oz., $5.00. 
The development of our strain of Ball 
Dwarf Giant No. 1 is one of our greenhouse 
hobbies. 
There is real distinction in a well grown 4 or 
5 in. pot plant of All Dble. Petunia. In pot¬ 
ting up the seedlings, discard at least a few 
of the strongest, for they will become the 
least double. 
Victorious Mixture. All Double Mixture 
as obtained direct from the originator 
containing a complete range of colors 
in the dwarf class. 
Price: Vi pkt., $1.00; trade pkt., 
(containing over 1000 seeds), $ 2 . 00 ; 
Three pkts. for $5.00; iz oz., $6.00; 
3*2 oz., $1 1 . 00 ; iV oz., $ 20 . 00 .
