SNAP BREEDING AT BALL'S 
We have made Snaps the subject of concentrated effort in our greenhouse breeding program. 
Some of the highlights of this program are: 
1. Over 1000 original crosses with original parental material, resulting in such fine, vigorous 
hybrids as our six new offerings listed on opposite page. 
g. Dozens 
of new varieties are “trialed” and compared with the best standard varieties in current use. 
3. Cultural experiments, investigating the possibilities of new rotation schemes, methods of 
pinching, single stem culture, etc.—information written up in our GROWER TALKS and our 
RED BOOK to help you make Snaps an even more profitable crop to grow. Write us for specific
