Heart, Ball White No. 16, and Ball Supreme No. 22. 
Left to right, five popular varieties. 
PINK, ROSE and RED 
Pacific Pink.. A bright, luminous salmon-rose-pink without the 
bluish or orchid cast of other pinks and roses. Somewhat 
later than most Column Stocks, and is at its best in spring. 
Pictured on opposite page. 
@No. 22 Ball Supreme. A long-stemmed, vigorous growing va- 
riety with fine, heavy spikes of rich silvery rose. 
No. 11 Ball Pink. A medium pink. Earlier and somewhat 
lighter than our No. 22 but not quite as long-stemmed. 
No. 14 Ball Rose. An early flowering, fairly deep rose-pink. 
Darker in color than Supreme No. 22. 
No. 9 Chamois-Pink. 
and flower spikes. 
A warm rosy buff color. Good stems 
No. 7 Malmaison Pink, Improved. Long stems and spikes of 
soft shell-pink; a popular color. 
No. 6 American Beauty. Rich deep American Beauty or car- 
mine-rose. 
@No. 8 Ruby !mproved. A brilliant scarlet-crimson without the 
purple cast of other reds. 
Pink Giant. Color identical to No. 14 Ball Rose, but later and 
somewhat taller. : 
U.S.D.A. Double Pink. A U.S.D.A. development which im- 
proves the Hansen dark-leaved single, light-leaved double strain. 
Light-leaved doubles may be selected in seedling stage. In our 
greenhouse trials stem length was greater than Hansen’s but 
not as long as regular Columns. Doubles retain some light leaf 
color in blooming stage.

(NON-BRANCHING) 
16,000 S. The most important points in growing 
eood greenhouse Stocks are: (1) plant only in steam- 
sterilized or fresh soil to avoid root rot; (2) grow 
them cool—not over 50° nights. A spacing of 3x6 
inches is ample for good quality and they may be 
safely sown in our latitude from July 15 to Febru- 
ary 15. Later sowings may come blind. Constant 
breeding and selection maintain a uniformly high 
percentage of doubles in our strains which may be 
further increased, if the largest seedlings are selected 
in planting or thinning.

WHITE 
No. 25 Minaret. This fine white combines the close-spaced 
spike of No. 16 with a larger, longer stem which should 
make it quite valuable to cut flower growers. 
Pacific White. A pure white with large, well spaced 
florets. Spike is similar to Ball White No. 16, but stems 
are somewhat longer. A bit later than No. 16 but earlier 
than Avalanche. Recommended for both greenhouse and 
outdoor use. 
@No. 16 Ball White—Medium Tall. This early pure white 
is the most popular variety on our entire list. 
No. 99 Ball White. Averages 4 to 6 inches taller than No. 16. 
White Giant. Good long-stemmed white for outdoor growing. 
We prefer our No. 16 Ball White for greenhouse use, although 
some growers have reported favorably on White Giant for this 
purpose. 
Gardenia, Imp. Pure white. Branches somewhat. A fine out- 
door strain. 
No. 5 Ball Dwarf White. An ideal pot plant variety. 
® Avalanche. Finest white for outdoor growing; also excellent 
for greenhouse use although later than No. 16. 
LAVENDER, BLUE and PURPLE 
@®No. 1 Lilac-Lavender Improved. Early blooming. Silvery lilac. 
Good stems with long flower spikes. 
No. 3 Ball Blue Improved. Deep bluish lavender; long spikes. 
@No. 21 Purple Heart. Long-stemmed and large-flowered, bright 
violet-purple. Early blooming. 
MISCELLANEOUS VARIETIES

No. 24 Deep Apricot Improved. Darker than No. 20.
