COLEUS 
Ke O 
®Coleus, Ball Rainbow Mixture. (See photo page 19). Our 
greenhouse grown seed strain of Coleus features a wide range 
of bright clear colors including pinks, roses, bright yellow- 
greens, salmon and others. The important point of distinction 
between this and other Coleus strains is the very low (less 
than 10%) percentage of undesirable shades (culls) which 
it produces. Ball Rainbow Mix is being used more and more 
by bedding plant growers who have formerly reproduced 
Coleus from cuttings. Reason—simply brighter colors and 
more vigorous yet uniform plants are obtainable from this 
strain. 42 tr. pkt.,.$1.00; tr. pkt.. $1.75; tea oz., $2.75;
