STOCKS DOUBLE GIANT (See Back Cover) 
(Column Gardenia)

the exotic Gardenia from which it borrows its 
name, this new Stock is the crowning achieve- 
ment of the plant breeder's efforts. With su- 
perbly formed magnificent spikes composed of 
individual florets 2 to 21% inches in diameter, 
this remarkable new Giant Column Stock is in- 
deed the last word in perfection for its class. 
Shimmering, glistening white, the flowers are 
the purest snow white of any Stock variety yet 
introduced. Producing only one flower spike to 
a plant, this spike will, however, be of enormous 
size, 12 to 15 inches of florets and nearly 3 
feet in length, and 4 or even 4 inches in 
depth, with individual florets closely and com- 
pactly placed on the stem. The robust habit 
and uniformity of type combined with a high 
percentage of doubles places Gardenia definite- 
ly in a class by itself with no peer among the 
finer flowers for high class florist trade.
