MichelTs Distinctive Stocks 
GIANTS OF CALIFORNIA 
This magnificent new group is so marked in improvement that we 
believe they will head the list in florists’ forcing Stocks in the very 
near future. Giants of California are very early flowering, with a high 
percentage of double mammoth flowers and have the branching habit 
of the Bismarck. If planted close they will nearly attain the height of 
ji the Column Stock, approximately 2^ to 3 feet. We can with con¬ 
s’ ■} fidence recommend this strain to the florist grower.

GIANT COLUMN, NON-BRANCHING DOUBLE EXCELSIOR 
This new type 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. We have discontinued listing the other separate colors 
in this type, due to its being practically impossible to obtain seed that 
will prove satisfactory and give a high percentage of doubles. Those 
listed are, in the opinion of most florist growers, the only reliable colors 
to grow.
