E BALL CALENDULA 
(3,000 seeds per oz. 
Seed of all the following strains is grown from stock seed raised 
from selected plants here in our own greenhouses at West 
Chicago. This costly breeding program, rigidly maintained 
every year since our introduction of this forcing type 24 years 
ago, insures the finest strains possible for your use. The im- 
portant points in growing a crop of first class Calendula are 
(1) an early start (July in our latitude) to insure the valuable 
mid-winter crop; (2) disbudding to insure large flowers on 
long, stiff stems and (3) cool temperatures—not over 45 dur- 
ing their active growing season.

PANSY SEED FOR FLORISTS 
(25,000 seeds per oz. 
Like so many horticultural lines, the Pansy seed situation ie changed completely since our present 
war shut off European imports. 
And probably no other line constitutes a better example of the im- 
pact of American methods of production and breeding on these former European specialties. 
Fine as 
these European strains were, the American-grown strains listed below are just as good, if not superior, 
and thru well-managed, scientific breeding programs, are improving every year. 
Prices of course have 
increased some, and directly reflect increased costs of production and handling. Supplies at present 
are somewhat limited and new crop prospects still somewhat uncertain—early-placed orders will help 
assure your requirements when you want them for sowing.
