BALL 10 BEST 
(Self-Pollinated Varieties) 
Not everybody’s market or conditions will agree 
with our best selection. But it is based not only on 
our conditions and experience with them, but on 
seed demands as well. Note the Hybrids are in a 
different class and are not included under this head- 
ing. Following are listed in order of seed sales: 
“Margaret. While not paper white, Margaret heads 
the list for seed sales. This is due to its free 
flowering or its ‘‘comeback” in production, and 
its strong, medium long stems. Most valuable if 
color purity is not important, and it seems not to 
be in most wholesale markets. Tr. pkt., $2.00. 
“Ethel. Ranks high in sales because there is noth- 
ing better in yellow, except our Yellow Hybrid. 
Medium early, fairly long stemmed, and a clean 
grower. Tr. pkt., $1.50. 
“Cheviot Maid No. 33. Clear light rose pink, pro- 
duces freely; not grassy. An excellent commer- 
Glalipihike ebra.pkt-- 91250: 
“Peace. An almost perfect pure paper white. Long 
stemmed, clean, and atrue early. Tr. pkt., $1.50. 
Some prefer White Wonder Imp., new crop of 
which will be available by early July. 
“Deiworth’s Supreme. The fairly deep rose pink 
“ color and long stems of this we find outstanding. 
As it becomes better known, it will get higher on 
this ‘“demand for seed” list. Tr. pkt., $1.50. 
“Lady Dorothy. The best reddish bronze. Both 
stems and flower spikes are long and durable. 
This, with its color, makes it quite effective. 
Voutrpmtoe pial; thee Kia 65.00, 
“Rockwood Pink Supreme. A fairly deep, bright 
rose pink, with compact spikes and heavy stems. 
This combination of good points will take in any 
market. Tr. pkt., $2.00. 
PLEASE NOTE 
V2 tr. pkts. of any variety priced at $1.00 are supplied 
at 60c; 2 pkts. of $1.50 varieties, $1.00. No 2 pkts. 
on.$2.00 or $3.00 varieties EXCEPT WHERE NOTED. 
While we obviously have no control over the amount of 
seed in originator’s packets, all of our own contain at 
least 2,000 seeds. 


Picturing our greenhouse grown Snap seed crop ripening in the May 
sun. All vents are screened to prevent cross pollination by bees. 
“Peggy Schumann. Beautiful, creamy rose pink, 
with florets well spaced. Medium stems. Gener- 
ally used for late or after Mum planting. Tr. 
pkt., $2.00. 
“Ball Lavender. Most popular in this color. This 
variety is a medium light lavender generally con- 
sidered more attractive than the darker shades. 
Extra strong and long stemmed. Largely used for 
late planting. Tr. pkt., $1.50. 
*Schisler’s Red. Somewhat improves Ball Supreme 
Red in spike and stems. Our new Ball Red Hybrid 
No. 7 will be found far superior to either. Tr. pkt., 
$2.00. 
“Bail Forcing Mixture. Carefully blended from our 
best varieties. Tr. pkt., $1.00.
