FOR BEDDING, POTS, OR COMBINATIONS 
Growing and Selling 
DOUBLE PETUNIAS at a PROFIT! 
Uses of doubles range all the way from flat sales (we 
have seen them priced as low as $1.25 for a “half-flat” 
of 40) to individual, well shaped 5-inch potted plants 
retailing for several dollars. 
@ Doubles are becoming increasingly popular for sale 
out of flats, bands, or pots for bedding use. Many 
bedding plant growers are selling them for the same 
price as single Petunias. 
®@ For combinations—boxes or pots—they can’t be beat! 
Large, full, double, long-lasting blooms in bright 
colors on compact plants. 
@ Many growers use 3-inch or 4-inch pots of well de- 
veloped blooming doubles for the more “expensive” 
bedding plant trade. The Ball All-Double Mixture is 
especially good for this purpose. 
However you use them, Ball All-Double Petunias can 
make money for you—they are the world’s finest strains: 
tested, selected varieties from Canada, the United States, 
and Japan. Our recommendations are based upon com- 
plete trials of all available varieties, both in 3-inch pots 
in our greenhouses in the spring, and outside in our 
summer trials. 
PETUNIA SPECIALIST 
Carl Hellgren (above) and A. E. Bjork, Glenbard Gardens, Lom- 
bard, Illinois, who are among the most progressive bedding 
plant growers in the Chicago area, make a specialty of Double 
Petunias, for sale both out of flats and out of 3-inch pots. They fin- 
ish about 10,000 Petunias each spring for sale out of 3-inch pots 
for 25c each retail. Half of these are doubles—Ball All-Double 
Mix, two of which are shown being held by Mr. Hellgren in the 
above picture. 
Many flat growers say it is impossible for them to make money 
with pots; a few growers who grow exclusively in pots say they 
can’t make out handling flats! Here is one unique example of a 
grower who has adapted his growing to both markets—“Chicago 
half-flats” containing 40 plants each for the price buyers, and 
3-inch pots for those who want better established plants.
