BALL BETTER 
FORCING VARIETIES 
FOR GROWING OUT-DOORS. We find 
the forcing or early class best for this purpose, 
especially if the strong growing kinds are used. 
Not only are they earlier flowering than most 
of the Summer class but the colors are much 
more complete and more uniform. However, the 
original or resistant. strains should be used for 
out-door work where rust prevails for the forc- 
ing kinds have less resistance to it. For out- 
door work in our latitude, we find that a Febru- 
ary Ist sowing grown as cool as possible in 3 
to 4 in. pots and planted out in May under 
cloth will produce excellent flowers by late 
June. While we obviously have no control over 
the amount of seed in originators’ packets, all 
of our own contain at least 2000 seeds.
