"THE WORLD’S BEST DOUBLE STOCK" 
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 ore 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. 
LARGE FLOWERING DWARF 
TEN WEEKS STOCKS

inches and produce a high percentage of
