DWARF HYBRIDA—PETUNIAS 
The most popular selling class for bedding, being strong enough in 
growth to show up well under most summer conditions. Because of 
their dwarf habit, they are sometimes listed as Nana Compacta. This 
class is used almost exclusively by growers of Petunias in flats, their 
dwarf habit making them ideal for this purpose. Celestial Rose Imp. is 
the heaviest selling variety with us. 
BALL TEN-BEST VARIETIES 
Three-fourths of our demand for Dwarf Hybrida Petunias is concentrated in 
this list. Here you will find the finest varieties in every color class. Only varieties 
and strains that can be depended on to come reasonably true to color and dwarf 
habit are included. You will do well to confine your Dwarf Hybrida planting 
largely to these varieties.

*Fair Lady 
Altho more upright growing than Celestial Rose, the 
habit of Fair Lady is very compact and well suited to pot 
plant work. Growth stands up well under outdoor con- 
ditions. Color a clear silvery pink—a lighter and softer 
pastel shade than Celestial Rose. A fine color under 
spring greenhouse conditions and holds up well under 
outdoor sun. A fine large flowered variety where this 
silvery pink color is useful. Tr. pkt., 35c; 46 oz., $1.25;

*King Henry

vety crimson, with an extra dwarf and compact growth.

for spring pot plants. For outdoor bedding we recom- 
mend Velvet Ball. Tr. pkt., 50c; 1% oz., $1.25; 46 oz.

dwarf and compact—fine for pot plant work and amply 
strong growing for outdoor bedding. Flowers are large 
and attractively ruffled. Color a medium violet-blue be- 
tween the lighter Heavenly Blue and the deeper purple of 
Violacea and Blue Ball. Altho 10 to 20% are smaller flow- 
ered types, Admiral comes practically 100% true to color.
