A WORD ABOUT 
OUR CYCLAMEN 
Repeated observations of Cyc- 
lamen flowering trials in our 
own greenhouses, as well as 
careful examination of the lead- 
ing strains grown elsewhere, 
have led us to believe that no 
one Cyclamen seed specialist 
excels in all varieties. As a re- 
sult, the Cyclamen seed we offer 
on this page as Ball’s strain has 
been obtained from several of 
the world’s most qualified Cyc- 
lamen specialists. We believe 
our customers are entitled to 
this service. 

Pure white Cyclamen are becoming increasingly popular; and our strain is 
noted for its fine, large flowers. 

To see why Cyc’s remain so much-grown, take one home—watch it 
continue to throw still more bright, new florets after 3, even 4 
weeks. That’s double the life of most plants—in our home at least! 
Culture—not difficult. Sow July to finish 6’s for Christmas °51. 
Sown early November, you'll get nice 4’s—lower cost, lower priced, 
maybe better sellers for your trade. Night temperature, 55°. 
Remember the old words: “It’s the space between the plants that 
makes quality pot plants.” Give ’em plenty of room! 
Mite—that No. 1 problem. A weekly spray program alternating 
with Vapotone, NNOR—followed religiously from the 2%4 stage 
on will usually result in clean plants. Big trick is to keep them 
clean from the start. Once mite get inside the buds, there’s no 
cure. Methyl bromide fumigation is sure-fire but hardly worth the 
trouble except for specialists.
