CALIFORNIA GIANTS 
Equally at home as pot plants, in combinations of all sorts, and planted out 
in beds, California Giant Petunias never fail to draw the interest and attention 
of Petunia buyers. Our finest strain, for early blooming and dwarf habit with 
extra large flowers, is Ball Dwarf Giants No. 1. Our other listings are most 
suitable for bedding, but are O. K. for combinations if a little extra height is 
desirable. 
@®BALL DWARF GIANT No. 1—For Pots 
Repeated pot plant trials in comparison with other leading strains 
have convinced us that this is the finest uniformly dwarf and large- 
flowered Giant Petunia available. By actual count it produces 
over 90% extra large, open-throated flowers with a good color 
range. At its very best in a 3- or 4-inch pot. Not recommended 
for bedding. 1% tr. pkt., 85e¢; tr. pkt., $1.50; 1/64 0z., $2.50; 
1/32 oz., $4.50; 1/16 oz., $9.00.

suited for outdoor bedding work. Not recommended for pot 
plants. 1% tr. pkt., 60c; tr. pkt., $1.00; 1/64 oz., $1.75; 
1/32 oz., $3.00; 1/16 oz., $5.50.

inch pots to bloom during April and May.

PAN-AMERICAN F, HYBRIDS 
(Produced by crossing separate pure lines.) 
@Tango. The semi-fringed flowers are a clear salmon-red—a 
shade lighter, but larger than Carmencita. Because of its 
hybrid vigor, this new Petunia is far showier than Carmencita 
when used for bedding; also good for pots.

Its fringed deep rose flowers are about the color of Setting 
Sun. Makes a first class pot plant, and its hybrid nature gives 
it value for bedding.
