ALL OUR CALIFORNIA GROWN STOCKS BLOOM AT LEAST TWO WEEKS 
EARLIER THAN SEED GROWN IN ANY OTHER SECTION OF THE WORLD. 
If you were to have but one flower in your garden we would recommend stocks, 
for it seems to be well nigh indispensable. They have the color, beauty of individual 
flower, as well as the flower stalk as a whole, besides a wonderful fragrance that few 
other flowers can equal. Our strain of Sun Ripened Seeds will give you enormous 
pyramids of double blossoms so thickly set that they over-lap, and they will produce 
a very high percentage of double flowers. 
To have a bed of all double stocks we suggest that you sow the seed thickly in 
open ground, if plants are started in the cold frame, set out young seedlings very 
close together, then thin out all the singles when plants flower, leaving only the 
doubles. You will have a gorgeous bed of double stocks.
