PINK RAINBOW 
CANDIDUM 
RED RAINBOW 
GROW COLORFUL (Zo¢eud FROM BALL SEEDS 
100,000 S. Growers throughout the country are relying more 
heavily on Ball Rainbow Mixed Coleus seed for their requirements 
of this fine foliage plant. 
Originated over a decade ago by George J. Ball, our seed of 
this uniquely fine strain is grown in our West Chicago green- 
houses under our careful, daily supervision. 
THREE NEW VARIETIES 
This year we are offering three distinct new, separate colors 
originally selected out of the Rainbow Mixture. These strains 
come at least 90% uniform to the colors shown above—the balance 
being entirely salable specimen plants. This offer, therefore, 
makes straight colors similar to named cutting varieties like 
Butterfly, Christmas Gem and Brilliancy available from seed. 
Cuttings from these seedlings root freely, of course. The plant 
habit is dwarf and base-branching, and satisfies all the require- 
ments of this versatile shade-house plant subject. Ideal for com- 
bination boxes or pots. 
BALL RAINBOW COLEUS” 
@Bail Rainbow Mixture. Developed over a decade ago by 
Geo. J. Ball, through careful selection the Ball Rainbow 
Coleus Strain has no equal in the world today. We have 
trialed all important commercial strains—none match this 
strain for its high percentage (90%) of bright warm Coleus 
colors which even excel the brilliance and luster of many of 
the best known cutting propagated varieties. Rich reds, yel- 
lows, coppers, pinks, all abound in infinite varieties of tones 
and shades. Uniform habit. Ideal for combinations, shade 
planting, and wherever Coleus are useful. This seed is 
greenhouse-grown at West Chicago. % tr. pkt., $1.00;
