A WORD ABOUT OUR CYCLAMEN 
Repeated observations of Cyclamen flowering trials 
in our own greenhouses, as well as careful examina- 
tion of the leading strains grown in Europe and 
America, have led us to believe that no one Cyclamen 
seed specialist excels in all varieties. 
The Ball strains include only those varieties in 
which each grower (according to our flowering trials) 
excels. We can obtain seeds of all varieties of the 
named European strains of Binneweiss, Eveleen, etc., 
upon request.
