We know of no seed-grown cut flower crop as profitable, year in and year out, 
as well-grown Snaps. So wide is the selection of varieties available today, that 
there’s scarcely a greenhouse grower throughout our broad land who can’t find 
several that are ideally suited to his particular conditions. Your choice can 
range from dependable inbred or self-pollinated varieties—nearly all of which 
we produce from single plant selections right here in our own screened green- 
houses—to the finest of modern Hybrids, noted for their uniformly vigorous 
growth, heavy production and quick come-back for second and even third crops. 
We feel certain that you will be well repaid for the time spent in looking this 
list over carefully.

HYBRID SNAPS 
The production of Hybrid Snaps involves the use of the same principles that 
have made Hybrid Corn—with its increased vigor and yield—so popular today. 
The Hybrid Snapdragon is the result of crossing pure-line strains of two distinct 
varieties and possesses, to a marked degree, a faster and more vigorous rate of 
erowth than any self-pollinated variety. As a result, considerable growing time 
can be saved—which means a saying in costs. In addition, their quicker come- 
back for a second crop has meant many extra dollars in the pockets of growers 
who are accustomed to cutting two crops from one planting. Our Hybrids were 
recommended by prominent speakers at last spring’s Cornell, Ohio State and 
Purdue short courses. 
<Geee== @ BALL YELLOW HYBRID No. 1 
Speaking at last winter’s Ohio State University Short Course, one of the 
Midwest’s most prominent Snap growers named this on his preferred list of 
varieties. It’s a rich golden yellow with long stems and flower spikes, and very 
productive. Can be flowered easily in January from a mid-July sowing. % tr. 
pkt., $1.75; tr. pkt., $3.00. 
@ BALL PINK HYBRID No. 2 (New) 
An early and free-flowering medium pink. Nice spikes and a good producer. 
The outstanding feature of this new Hybrid is its earliness and pleasing color. 
While some growers have reported soft stems on this variety, others have been 
well pleased. We suggest comparing this alongside Dorcas Jane and Maryland 
Pink under your growing conditions. A mid-July sowing flowers in December 
with us. 1% tr. pkt., $1.75; tr. pkt., $3.00. 
@ BALL RED HYBRID No. 7 
(Pictured on opposite page.) 
Has the same rich scarlet-crimson color of the old Velvet Supreme, but with 
superior flower spike and stem length. This color should not be confused 
with the purplish shade common in most so-called “red” varieties. We find a 
mid-July sowing flowers for Christmas around Chicago. % tr. pkt., $1.75; 
tr. pkt., $3.00.
