1955 INTRODUCTIONS 
From several dozen well tested new crosses, we have selected the three listed 
here as being worthy of carrying the Ball name. June Bride is an outstanding 
new pure white for single stem summer greenhouse use, while Flower Girl is 
an extremely productive addition to the medium pink group, and Bridesmaid 
might well be described as the popular Peggy Schumann color in greatly im- 
proved Hybrid form. re

placed, large florets. A very clean grower with little “grass” and unusually

Flower Girl (No. 34, Exp. Hyb. No. 359X). Midseason. Long, medium. pink 
spikes carried on clean, firm stems. The smooth, even coloring and good 
production record of this variety make it an important commercial Snap.

June Bride (No. 12, Exp. Hyb. No. 352X). The first “hot weather” Fy Hybrid 
developed for late spring and summer single stem greenhouse use. Under 
our conditions this new pure white is superior to Rockwood’s Crystal White 
in vigor and spike length. It has hard clean stems and is shatter-proof in 
the presence of Ethylene gas. Sow from January through June only.
