OUR TWELVE BEST 
(For Mid-Winter) 
Although we realize that no list of ‘‘best’’ varieties will prove 
completely satisfactory in all localities, our own growing ex- 
perience plus seed sales indicate that the following twelve con- 
stitute the very cream of today’s finest. 
Christmas Cheer. Without question the finest and most profit- 
able extra early rose pink; should be grown on a raised bed 
for best spike development. We offer originator’s packets 
only. Tr. pkt., $2.00. 
Better Times. Compact, closely set spikes of rich, glowing 
American Beauty rose; to insure good stem length, should 
not be grown too cold. We offer originator’s packets only, 
subject to delivery of new crop seed. Tr. pkt., $2.00. 
Cheviot Maid Reselected (Ball). Our own strain of this ever- 
popular variety is practically 100% true to its medium rose 
pink color and uniform, clean habit of growth. Tr. pkt., $1.00. 
Peggy Schumann. Extra fine, creamy rose pink with heavy stiff 
stems and well formed spikes. This truly fine variety is 
steadily increasing in popularity. Tr. pkt., $2.00. 
Mary Ellen. We have been assured of a fairly good supply of 
new crop seed of this highly popular silvery pink Snap. We 
handle only originator’s packets. Tr. pkt., $2.00. 
Maryland Pink. Well formed spikes of soft pastel pink borne 
on stiff stems make this an outstandingly fine variety. Ex- 
ceptionally clean and uniform in growth. Originator’s packets.

few days later than Koester’s White, but considerably 
stronger in growth. Tr. pkt., $1.50.

Ethel. The most satisfactory fairly deep yellow that we know 
of. Perfectly uniform in habit without grassy side growth 
and with medium sized closely set spikes. Tr. pkt., $1.50. 
Afterglow. All points considered, this still continues to be the 
most generally satisfactory all-around orange bronze. Clean 
growing and attractive. Tr. pkt., $1.00. 
Ball Lavender. Long stemmed and strong growing with long 
heavy spikes of pleasing orchid lavender. A ready seller on 
most markets. Tr. pkt., $1.50. 
Ball Supreme Red. (Formerly Velvet Supreme.) We have 
changed the name of our popular velvety, scarlet crimson to 
avoid disappointment resulting from confusion with Velvet 
Beauty that our trials have always shown to be more or less 
mixed. We have a good supply of our own growing of this 
fine strain. Tr. pkt., $1.50. 
Ball Forcing Mixture. Carefully balanced mixture of these 12 
best varieties. Tr. pkt., $1.00.
