Gall Hybrid Suapdrageus 
Grouped here are the popular Ball Hybrid Snaps that have 
largely replaced many of the old inbred varieties within the past 
few years. Their better stems and spikes plus their faster growth 
rate have won the acclaim of Snap growers most everywhere. If 
you've been dissatisfied with your old favorites, we suggest you 
try the Hybrids. Golden Spike, Snowman, Navajo, and Rosanna 
are particularly recommended. 
@ Hercules (Ball Hyb. No. 21—New, formerly Exp. Hyb. No. 78X). Light 
pink, extra hard stem. Spike formation somewhat like that of Peggy Schu- 
mann. Close-set florets, graceful spike, and very clean grower. Midseason. 
See page 1. 
@ Lavender Lady (Ball Hyb. No. 71—New, formerly Exp. Hyb. No. 95X). 
A deep, rosy lavender shade with excellent spikes and stems. This is un- 
questionably the finest lavender Snap we've ever seen. For late winter and 
spring. See page l. 
@Pink Ice (Ball Hyb. No. 31—New, formerly Exp. Hyb. INS HPO), 23k 
bright, medium rose with nearly white lips. A clean, strong grower with 
outstanding flower spikes. Do not flower before February in the North. 
See page l. 
@ Rosy Dawn (Ball Hyb. No. 41—New, formerly Exp. Hyb. No. 34X). Solid, 
heavy spikes of deep rose; good stems. Near Christmas Cheer in color, 
but 3 or 4 weeks later. Midseason. Do not flower before February in the 
North. See page 1. 
@Golden Spike (Ball Hyb. No. 1). A rich, deep golden yellow with long, 
tapering spikes and heavy stems. Exceptionally heavy producer. Best 
yellow for late winter and spring but should not be flowered before 
February in the North. 
@ Ball Pink Hyb. No. 2. Medium pink. While some like it for its earliness 
and heavy production, we prefer Hercules and Christina. 
@Pink Cloud (Ball Hyb. No. 3). A medium pink. Offers an amazing 
combination of fast growth and early blooming with long stems, spikes, 
and really large flowers. Our customers’ first year reports are conflicting. 
Some growers liked it very well, while others noted soft stems in midwinter. 
Rosanna 
Navajo »— 
@ Pink Monarch (Ball Hyb. No. 4). A rose-pink with large, attractive, close-set 
florets and an exceptionally hard stem. Midseason. 
@Snowman (Ball Hyb. No. 5). Our customers’ first year’s experience with 
Snowman has been gratifying. This pure white is a top-notch Snap in all ways. 
We consider it the best white for single stemmed culture, and it is also ex- 
cellent for a pinched crop. Sales have been far heavier on Snowman than on 
any other 1951 introduction. Absolutely white—no trace of ivory. Good pro- 
ducer, hard clean stem, graceful spike. 
@ Indian Chief (Ball Hyb. No. 6). Bright, rich bronze; attractive spike and good 
eee of florets. For late winter and spring. Deeper, brighter shade than 
arbara. 
@ Ball Red Hyb. No. 7. Velvet Supreme color. Excellent for earliness and free 
production, but we prefer Navajo for all-purpose red. 
@ Navajo (Ball Hyb. No. 8). Pictured above. We consider this the finest all- 
purpose red Snap available. It combines an excellent bright, true Snapdragon 
red (no blue or purple tones) with an extra long spike and hard stem. Blooms 
with Margaret. No weak points reported the first year. 
@ Rosanna (Ball Hyb. No. 9). Pictured above. A deep, bright rose; long taper- 
ing spike. Some growers have reported this variety soft in midwinter; how- 
ever, our experience together with that of most growers who have reported has 
been favorable thruout the growing season.
