PLANT DEPARTMENT * 
The Florists and Growers of America 
have realized that the high quality of Ball’s seeds have earned a 
reputation second to none in the horticultural world. Our methods of 
carefully watching our sources of supply of all stock that we sell plus 
our well-known service to our customers, has made our slogan “All 
the Best—Nothing Else’ a byword to the florists. Some years ago 
we began furnishing mum cuttings to the trade; our increasing yearly 
volume is very gratifying. Our well satisfied customers began to ask 
us for other greenhouse material. Two years ago we installed a 
plant department to furnish our customers with all plants and bulbs 
necessary for greenhouse operation. We wish to thank our many 
friends for their response. It greatly exceeded our expectations.
