"The World's Best Double Stock" 
All our Califorina grown stocks bloom at least two weeks 
earlier than seed grown in any other section oi 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 overlap, and they will produce a very high per¬ 
centage of double flowers. 
To hove a bed of all double stocks we suggest that you sow the 
seed thickly in open ground, if plants are 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.
