MICHELL’S “DISTINCTIVE” STOCKS 
28 
Stocks are one of the most profitable flowers to raise, provided you sow the right strains. For years we have made a specialty of 
supplying “Distinctive” strains, which are easily distinguished by their superior quality, strong germination and a remarkably large 
percentage of double flowers. 
GIANT COLUMN NON-BRANCHING 
Double Excelsior 
This new type of Stocks produces one enormous spike 2 to 3 
feet in height and is especially adapted for greenhouse culture, 
as the plants can be grown close together; blooms about ten days 
earlier than Bismarck and produces a high percentage of doubles. 
We offer a select list of the most popular colors.

A branching Stock literally covered with blooms, which appear 
earlier than in any other strain. The colors are very distinct, so 
much so that they are not reproduced in any other strain.
