KOESTERS WHITE 
Has been grown exclusively for some years by its origi¬ 
nator and introducer, Wm. Koester, of Indianapolis, Indiana. 
Our trial of it the past season clearly shows that it overcomes 
the weak or short stemmed habit of White Wonder. Pure 
paper white, long flower spike and early or Xmas flowering. 
Ready for immediate delivery from Mr. Koester’s last Year’s 
seed that our tests show 1700 seedlings per trade packet. 
Priced at $2.00 per packet. 
WHITE WONDER 
Thru numerous single plant selections, we have improved 
the placement of the flowers on the stem of this pure white, 
also the tendency to short weak stems has been improved. 
Tr. pkt., $1.00. 
CHRISTMAS CHEER (Windmiller) 
Extra early, long stemmed clear rose pink. Will easily 
make Xmas with us with an average of three flowers per 
plant thru a July 1 sowing. The ideal early pink. Origi¬ 
nator’s packets, $2.00. 
MARY ELLEN 
Extra early, quite long stemmed, light or silver pink. We 
recommend sowing this about a week earlier than Christ¬ 
mas Cheer if wanted for Xmas. Both this and Christmas 
Cheer are quite free of unnecessary or grassy growth. They 
are easily the best early pinks. MARY ELLEN also in 
originator’s packets only, $2.00. 
CHEVIOT MAID RESELECTED (Ball) 
The standard, fairly early clear rose pink. Our selected 
strain of this comes quite true and even. Tr. pkt., $1.00. 
KLONDYKE SUPREME 
We find this rather late yellow, larger flowered and not 
quite so grassy as is Coates yellow. The grassy growth 
tendency we find partly overcome when grown on a raised 
bed. Color and stem are excellent. Tr. pkt., $1.50. 
ETHEL 
Color of this is as 
golden yellow as any on 
the list and with flowers 
closely spaced. It is fairly 
early. Only fault we find 
with it is the spikes lack 
the heaviness or diameter 
of some. Tr. pkt., $1.50. 
AFTERGLOW 
Continues to be a good 
standard, attractive 
bronze. Mid-season. Tr. 
pkt., $1.00. 
EARLY SUNLITE 
(Ball) 
Extra early, light 
bronze with free flower¬ 
ing habit and long 
stemmed. For this reason 
it was selected from the 
weak, short stemmed, no 
account New Deal. Tr. 
pkt., $1.00. 
GLORIOUS 
Has been described as 
a glorified Afterglow that 
it improves in being a 
darker, more brilliant 
reddish bronze color. An 
attractive commercial 
color. Tr. pkt., $1.50. 
Our neu> Ball Lavender above—note fine long spike. Practically 
100% free of rogues too. A real improvement in lavenders. 
VELVET SUPREME (Ball) 
Uniformly rich, velvety scarlet crimson. Gets entirely 
away from the bluish crimson of Velvet Beauty from which 
we selected it. Tr. pkt., $1.00. 
BALL LAVENDER 
Fully 99% true uniform light lavender. Makes little or 
no grassy growth and with us flowers freely in January if 
sown early. Seed available June 15-20. Tr. pkt., $1.50. 
BALL FORCING MIXTURE 
A formula mixture of the best above varieties except 
originators. Tr. pkt., $1.00.
