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. 
Sow December 15 for heavy 3-inch for Mothers Day combinations 
and plant sales. January 10 sowing will make blooming 3-inch for 
late May sales. 
@ Ball Dwarf Giant No. 1—For Pots © — 
(See illustration.) This is the finest Giant Petunia for 
spring sales flatted or in pots and combination pots or 
boxes because: 
@lt is earliest blooming—will throw one large bloom very 
early in the growth of the plant—this makes it sell on 
sight. 
@it is dwarf and compact in habit throughout the season. 
Does not become “leggy.” 
@Has largest flowers with delicately netted open throats. 
The superiority of this strain over other Giant Petunias is 
maintained by yearly greenhouse selections and trialing at 
West Chicago. Over 90% large flowers, full range of Dwarf 
Giant colors and shades. 
Three Separate Colors from this mixture are also available. 
Some growers buy these colors separately and mix accord- 
ing to their own requirements.
