THE CALIFORNIA GIANTS 
We offer this Giant flowered class in a variety of heights from our Dwarf Giant No. | to the regular Calif. Giants No. 
5. By far the heaviest demand is for our BALL DWARF GIANT NO. 1. Large pot plant growers use it heavily for 
3 and 4 in. sizes, it producing a large flower in a 3 in. Our No. 2 strain averages slightly taller, but will be found 
excellent. Both these strains, especially our No. 1, are heavy sellers with us and we personally check all the seed 
stock. 
*Ball Dwarf Giant No. 1 
See front cover color photo. The most uniformly dwarf 
Giant flowered strain available producing 85 to 90% 
extra large-flowered, dwarf and compact plants—ideally 
suited to spring pot plant work. Color mixture predomi- 
nates in rich dark shades with a sprinkling of lighter rose, 
lilac and pink shades. Our sales of this famous strain 
have increased every year since its introduction in 1934 
and we are happy to be able to announce an ample sup- 
ply with which to fill all orders this season. A January 
sowing will flower our No. 1 strain easily for Mother’s

*Ball Dwarf Giant No. 2 
Ramona Strain. Produces 65 to 70% large California 
Giant flowers on dwarf and compact plants. Of a more 
vigorous growth than our No. | strain and therefore more 
suitable for outdoor bedding work. We recommend, and 
our recommendation is based on demand from our larger 
plant-selling customers, that our No. 2 Ramona Strain, 
because of its more vigorous growth, be used where 
plants are to be sold for outdoor bedding work. No. 2 
strain is much freer flowering under outdoor summer 
conditions. 14 tr. pkt. 60c; tr. pkt. $1.00; %4 oz. $1.75; 
Vo oz. $2.75; 46 oz. $5.00.

fairly dwarf habit with a strong, vigorous growth. Tr.

Ball Dwarf Giants No. 1. Most uniformly large-flowered 
dwarf strain of this valuable pot plant class of Petunias.
