Maryland Pink {Winkler'). A new appealing light soft 
pink for Christmas. Large bold flowers, clean heavy pro¬ 
ducing growth. One trial came into heavy cut for 
Christmas and January leaving its space free by Valen¬ 
tines Day for the next crop. % Tr. pkt., (500 seeds), 
$1.25; Tr. pkt., (1000 seeds), $2.00. 
Koester’s White. Our past winter’s trial of this clearly 
shows it with longer stems and flower spikes than has 
White Wonder. Also individual flowers are some larger 
and clear paper white. We also find it among the early 
flowering class with a June sowing; and on raised beds 
of a 50 degree house, it will make Xmas in our latitude. 
Tr. pkt., $2.00; 3 Tr. pkts. for $5.00. 
Mary Ellen. This variety sent out last season with a short 
seed crop seems to have all the desirable points. Light 
rose pink color, with a quite long stem and flower spike 
and Xmas flowering with no grassy growth. What more 
could be asked? Tr. pkt., $2.00; 3 Tr. pkts., $5.00. 
Ball Christmas Red. This is an early selection from our Velvet 
Supreme to which it is identical in color. With us a July 1 
sowing on a raised bed of a 50 degree minimum house will get 
into full crop for Xmas, for which the color is very desirable. 
Available in p 2 Tr. pkts. only at $1.00 each. 
On this page we’ve gathered together some new and 
standard varieties that we find deserve special consider¬ 
ation. Most of them are generally accepted and found of 
special value in all sections. Most of the first year varieties 
are of our own originating. Tho they are offered at little 
or no advance over standard prices, our experience as 
market growers enables us to determine their market value. 
Ball Matricaria. This long-stemmed seed produced strain 
comes 80-85% full double flowered, clear white and is 
of such vigorous growth that it produces long stemmed 
flowers under our trying outdoor conditions. In well 
drained soil and with slight protection BALL MATRI¬ 
CARIA will stand our winters. Tr. pkt., 35c; l/ 8 02 ., 
$1.00; y 4 02 ., $1.75. 
Myosotis Ball Early. This should be described as an 
early flowering Blue Bird. Tho flowering quite early, 
it will be plenty long stemmed for cutting if grown in 
deep, well enriched soil as it should be. Some Forget- 
Me-Not for cutting should be had by every retail grower. 
This variety is also choice to use as small pot plants and 
bedding. Tr. pkt., 35c; % 02 ., 85c; 1 02 ., $2.85. 
All Double Petunias. This unrivaled double strain is 
sown by some growers during summer and early fall 
for strong 5" specimens for early spring. We constantly 
carry a full supply of ALL DOUBLE PETUNIAS. 
See our spring catalog for complete list and prices. 
WINTER SWEET PEAS 
Ball Rose Supreme. This will be found a substantially 
improved Ball Rose Improved. The stems are longer and 
the rose is not so deeply bron 2 ed during spring months. 
Also the flowers are larger and of better form. l/ 2 02 -> 
20c; 1 02 ., 30c; 4 02 s., $1.00; 1 lb., $3.50. 
Ball Salmon. This is the same coral pink found in 
Daphne, but the color is considerably deeper. Long 
stemmed and fairly large. % 02 ., 35c; 1 02 ., 50c; 4 02 s., 
$1.50; 1 lb., $5.00. 
Sweet Pea Spring Flowering Black Seeded White. 
Really a "stand out” in spring blooming whites. Beyond 
question this is the finest longest stemmed pure white 
for April and May blooming. Extra large flowers, heavily 
frilled and lots of 4’s. (Not winter blooming.) % 02 ., 
75c; 1 02 ., $1.40; 4 02 s., $5.50. 
NON-BRANCHING STOCKS 
Ball Supreme (New No. 22) We are sure this will be found 
the best commercial pink. The color is between our light early 
No. 11 and the darker, longer stemmed No. 14. Its clear rose 
pink color is warmed with a slight salmon tinge. Ball Supreme 
is one of the longest stemmed ones on the list. In percentage of 
doubles it averages with the best. We have just a fair supply of 
this variety and at this time can’t promise more than $1.00 packets. 
Ball Purple. (New No. 21) Another result of our work in 
developing new, non-branching colors. This is a bright, strong 
purple about the shade of Elk’s Pride in the Bismarcks, but 
brighter and with violet tinge. Ready in Sept. T.P. only at 
$1.00 each.
