While there are plenty of so-called “‘novelties”’ released annually, few become outstanding, for real im- 
provements are as difficult to achieve as they are valuable to the progress of our business. Every industry 
is necessarily looking for something new. The following new varieties are our own production and have 
stood the test of several years’ watching in our greenhouses. 
Truly an outstanding Petunia, with its attractive fringed 
flowers of rich, velvety Elk’s Pride purple. Its free flower- 
ing habit and uniformly compact growth make this variety 
unexcelled for pot plant or bedding use. We have been 
assured of a good supply of seed. Tr. pkt., $1.00; %4 oz., 
$2.00; Yo oz., $3.80. 
An exceptionally uniform strain of the popular Fistulosa or 
quilled-petal type Marigold. Its deep orange flowers improve 
All Double Orange both in size and percentage of doubles.

Picture a Begonia of fairly dwarf, perfectly rounded habit, 
literally covered with medium large flowers of the brightest Marigold—Ball Giant Orange 
scarlet red imaginable. That’s the new Ball Red. Under actual 
growing conditions here in our greenhouses we find it not 
only early flowering, but of a brilliance that makes either : ne bj

An ideal companion variety to grow with the new 
Begonia=Ball White 

This is unquestionably the finest 
strain of seed grown Coleus that 
we have ever seen. Its broad 
color range runs from the palest 
pastel pinks, through combina- 
tions of rose, orange, gold, crim- 
son and reddish bronze shades 
to deep maroon; many with un- 
usual markings. We highly rec- 
ommend this mixture for bed- 
ding work and combinations. 
Choice specimens may be cut- 
ting propagated. All of this seed 
has been produced right here in 
our own greenhouses. Tr. pkt.,
