“Flower Seeds Gulp all for Florists’ 
MARIGOLDS 
(10,000 seeds per oz.) 
Nowhere are the results of intensive plant breeding 
more evident than in today’s modern Marigolds. There 
are varieties which are well suited for cutting; several 
that make nice pot plants, especially for combinations, 
and the dwarf types are valuable for bedding. For any 
purpose their rich warm color is always appealing. 
Nearly all classes are readily flowered indoors in 
April and May from a January or February sow- 
ing. When Marigolds are grown under glass they must 
not be checked, especially thru over-watering or low 
temperature. When this happens they come to a stand- 
still forcing them into buds without sufficient growth. 
BALL FIVE BEST 
The following five varieties are the most popular cut 
flower kinds on our list and under average conditions 
we believe they represent the most profitable sorts to 
grow for this purpose. 
*Ball Giant Orange. Similar in type to All Double 
Orange but improves that variety in flower size and 
slightly darker color. Tr. pkt., 35e; 14 0z., 65e3 1 0z., 
$2.00. 
*All Double Orange. This belongs to the Fistulosa or 
large flowered, solid quilled-petal type. Produces 
nearly 100% double flowers, being preferred to Prince 
of Orange on this account. An excellent, long- 
stemmed cut flower strain. 
*All Double Lemon. Identical to the above strain, 
but a clear lemon yellow. 
*Gold Improved. The popular carnation flowered 
bright orange with odorless foliage. Excellent for 
greenhouse forcing. 
*Yellow Supreme. Similar to Gold Improved but 
with flowers a rich creamy yellow. Odorless foliage.

formula mixture of the above varieties balanced ac- 
cording to their commercial value.
