Michell's Distinctive Stocks 
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 small percentage of single flowers. 
GIANTS OF CALIFORNIA 
This magnificent new group is so marked in im¬ 
provement that we believe it will head the list in 
florists’ forcing Stocks in the very near future. Giants 
of California are very early flowering, with a high per¬ 
centage of double mammoth flowers and have the 
branching habit of the Bismarck. If planted close they 
will nearly attain the height of the Column Stock, ap¬ 
proximately 2V£ to 3 feet. We can with confidence 
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.
