California Giaut Petuuiae 
285,000 S. Equally at home as pot plants, in combinations of all 
sorts, and planted out in beds, California Giant Petunias never 
fail to draw the interest of Petunia buyers. Our finest strain, for 
early blooming and dwarf habit with extra large flowers, is Ball 
Dwarf Giant No. 1. Our other listings are most suitable for bed- 
ding, and are O. K. for combinations if a little extra height is 
desirable. 
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 below (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.
