GIANT PERFECTION STOCK 
Stocks. “Gilliflower.” A favorite annual succeeding 
best in California during the winter season. Large¬ 
ly grown for cut flowers, lasting a long time in 
water. Very effective for planting in beds or 
borders. To obtain the best results the seed 
should be sown in August, September or early part 
of October, in seed boxes of rather light soil, and 
afterwards transplanted to the open ground. In 
transplanting stocks care should be taken to save 
the, small or weak growing plants, as these gen¬ 
erally produce double flowers, while the strong 
robust growing seedlings often come single. The 
seed I offer is obtained direct from one of the 
best specialists in Germany and can be relied upon 
to produce a large percentage of double flowers. 
-Giant Perfection Ten-week. This superb strain 
originally introduced to the California trade by 
myself a number of years ago. Is particularly adap¬ 
ted to California and is really the best stock for 
cutting purposes. I have furnished many com¬ 
mercial growers with this strain for a number 
of years and it has given complete satisfaction.
