GREENHOUSE VARIETIES 
(3,000 seeds per oz.) 
Breeding and selection work on Ball Calendulas was one of the 
accomplishments of the late Geo. J. Ball’s early years in business. 
We are glad to report that! the listed strains are in excellent shape 
today, having been the subject of considerable breeding work in 
the past several years. 
Start in July or August and grow cool—-not over 45° nights 
during fall and winter. They will not thrive in Carnation-house 
temperature. They need regular disbudding and prefer ground 
beds; otherwise they are very easy and inexpensive to handle. 
@ Ball Improved Long Orange. The longest stemmed and largest 
flowered variety. Golden orange. 
@ Ball Masterpiece. Deep glowing orange with dark eye. 
@ Ball Lemon Queen. Lemon-yellow with dark brown eye.

TUBEROUS ROOTED BEGONIAS 
Catlecolartas 
(20,000 seeds per 142 02.) 
Calceolarias aren’t at all difficult to grow from seed if a few 
simple requirements are met. In sowing use only loose, steriliz- 
ed material—night temperature 60°. The seed is very fine and 
no soil covering should be used. When Jarge enough to handle, 
they should go into 2%4-inch bands—later into 4- or 5-inch pots 
for finishing. After banding a 48° house will suit them nicely. 
A regular insect control program is essential (aphis will wreck 
them in no time). We spray once a week with Parathion. From 
late February on they’ll need protection from direct sun. Water 
only when dry; “wet feet” will cause yellowing of foliage. 
@Extra Early Tigered. (New). Solid heads of medium large 
flowers on dwarf plants; good color range. The outstanding 
feature of this strain is its earliness. It blooms a full month 
before other varieties, therefore costs you less to grow. Tr.
