BALL “10 BEST” 
@Admiral. (Pictured above, right.) Our finest blue Petunia. 
Large, attractively ruffled flowers; clear blue. Ideal for either 
pots or bedding. Tr. pkt., 75¢; 44 oz., $1.50; 140 0z., $2.75; 
146 0z., $5.00; 1% oz., $9.00. 
@ Bright Eyes. Uniformly dwarf and even in growth. The plants 
produce masses of fairly small rose-pink flowers with white 
throats. A definite improvement over the old Rosy Morn. 
Tr. pkt., 50c; 4% oz. $1.10; %4 oz., $2.00; 1 oz., $6.00. 
@ Celestial Rose Improved. Deeper rose coloring and slightly 
larger flowers than the original Celestial Rose. Unexcelled 
for pot plant work or bedding. This is the most popular 
Petunia in existence. We believe, based on our comparative 
trials, that our strain of Celestial Rose Improved is the finest 
available anywhere. Tr. pkt., 50ce; % oz. $1.00; 14 oz, 
$1.75; 1 oz., $6.00. 
@ Cheerful. Medium large, star-shaped flowers of clear salmon, 
are freely produced on uniform, fairly dwarf plants. Tr. pkt., 
75¢; 6 oz., $1.50; % oz. $2.25; %4 oz., $4.00. 
@Fire Chief. (Pictured in color on opposite page.) Winner of 
the first Gold Medal awarded in 11 years of competitive All- 
America Trials. Newly opened flowers are a true scarlet-red, 
turning to deep salmon-rose with age. Takes 2 to 3 weeks 
longer to make a show than most other Petunias. Tr. pkt., 
50c; Yeo oz., $1.25; 146 0z., $2.25; % oz., $3.50. 
@Glow. Bright rose-red flowers are produced in abundance on 
dense growing, vigorous plants of uniform habit. Makes a 
brilliant display for mass plantings. Tr. pkt., 35¢; 46 oz., 
$1.25; % oz., $2.00; %4 oz. $3.75; 1 oz. $13.50. 
@ Heavenly Blue. An old favorite, and rightly so. Still the best 
silvery blue in this class. This medium to light blue shade 
combines beautifully with other bedding subjects. Tr. pkt., 
35c¢; % oz., 90e; % oz., $1.50; 1 oz. $5.00. 
@Snow Queen. Our finest pure white Petunia in this class. Its 
strong spreading growth and free flowering habit have made 
it a favorite wherever grown. Tr. pkt., 40¢c; 14 oz., $1.50; 
1 oz., $5.00. 
@Topaz Queen. A remarkable color combination of glowing 
carmine-rose with distinct orange-scarlet overtone. Medium 
large flowered and striking whether used for bedding or in 
pots. Tr. pkt., 35¢; 1% 0z., $1.00; 14 0z., $1.75; 1 0z., $6.00. 
@ Velvet Ball. Dark red; almost identical to King Henry in color 
but more spreading in growth and better adapted for bedding 
use. Tr. pkt., 75¢; 140 0oz., $1.35; 146 0z., $2.50; 1% oz., 
$4.75; 1% oz., $9.00. 
@Ten Best Formula Mixture. We mix this ourselves, blending 
the ten best varieties in proportion to their popularity. Fine 
for spring flat sales. Tr. pkt., 35¢; 146 0z., 90¢; % oz., $1.65; 
% oz., $3.00; 1 oz., $10.00.
