BALL DWARF GIANT No. 1—For Pots 
@ Ball Dwarf Giant No. 1—For Pots. The extra dwarf and 
early blooming strain. The three plants pictured above (in 
3-inch pots) are representative of the fine dwarf habit, huge 
open flowers and remarkable colors in this premium strain. 
Annual greenhouse pot trials in competition with other lead- 
ing strains have convinced us of its real superiority. By 
actual count it dependably produces between 85 and 90% 
extra large, open-throated flowers on true dwarf plants. At its 
very best in a 3 or 4-inch pot. For bedding, we recommend 
Ball Dwarf Giant No. 2 because of its more vigorous growth.
