Stocks 
This class is safely sown up to February 20 
in our latitude, flowering around June 1. 
N ON-BRANCHING strains of Stocks were 
developed years ago but found little favor 
among American cut flower growers because 
they lacked the true non-branching habit and close 
spacing of flowers. Some colors offered today 
remain very much so. We early recognized the 
possibilities in this type and set to work improving 
them. Our well known strain of Lilac Lavender 
was the original result of this work. We next 
offered our strain of "Ball White," extra long¬ 
stemmed and lightly tinged pink. Next followed a 
strain of Chamois Pink, an attractive golden rose 
pink. Ruby, a rich crimson is our fourth variety 
of this unapproachably fine class of Stocks. But it 
seems we have to reckon with the law of compen¬ 
sation in whatever we grow. 
The growth of this class being confined to one stem, 
the seed production is of course limited, especially 
in the outdoor seed growing districts. We have tried 
producing it under glass, but find excessive temperatures 
occasionally damage the crop. We are doing all we can 
to work out this problem, but the cost of the seed must 
always be greater than that of the Branching kind. 
We offer freshly harvested seed of good germination of the 
following four Non-branching colors.
