items require.

OUR BIG THREE 
These three varieties are the most popular on our 
list and each is supremely fine either for retail or 
market use.

Our 
finest early pure white, with extra large florets, and well- 
formed, compact spikes. 
*No. 1 Lilac Lavender. Our own excellent large flowered 
strain, well-liked by all markets. Fine for Memorial Day 
at which time this color is usually short. 
*No. 22 Ball Supreme. Extra long, stiff stems and fine 
heavy spikes of rich silvery rose have made this the out- 
standing variety in its color class. 
White Varieties 
*No. 15 Ball White Improved. Slightly smaller flowered than 
our No. 16 but longer stemmed. 
No. 5 Ball White Extra Dwarf. Choice pot plant variety. 
Gardenia. Late flowering pure white; not entirely non-branching.
