BALL STOCKS 

(18,000 seeds

The ease with which good quality Non-Branching Stocks are 
grown,if soil has been properly sterilized, must not be over- 
looked. In the latitude of Chicago, seed may be sown until Feb- 
ruary 15 for early June flowering; later sowings usually result in 
more or less blindness. Note, however, that the season advances 
approximately one week for every 200 miles south—figure ac- 
cordingly. 
We issue a leaflet which treats in considerable detail the experi- 
ence we have gained in growing this crop for the past 18 years. 
We'll gladly send you a copy for the asking.
