Double Giants 
of 
California 
This new group should be given the attention and consideration of the 
florist who wishes to grow quality Stocks. They are of about the same 
habit as the Improved Bismarck group, but produce a longer spike, both 
in flower and stem. This strain produces a high percentage of doubles. Fine 
for indoor or outdoor growing. 
We introduced this group to our patrons 4 years ago and supply only the 
originator’s — Macdonald — seeds. Reports from growers useing them 
has been most complimentary. This group will be found of double appli¬ 
cation, as when benched close, like the non-branching varieties, they can 
be made produce but a single mammoth flower spike. Benched in wider 
setting, habit is same as Bismarck only resulting flowers are much finer.

Place Orders Early 
Please don’t neglect ordering until planting date and then blame your 
Seedsman for delayed plantings. I am sure it is the wish of all Seedsmen 
to render prompt and efficent service but many factors effect service con¬ 
ditions. Peak demand and seasonal rush are common cause of short 
delays in spite of same day shipping policy. You, in your own establish¬ 
ment, know the difficulty of maintaining an experianced staff adiquate to 
meet maximum peak periods fully. Seedsmen are faced with the same 
problems and these will undoubtedly become more acute in future with 
the present trend in hour regementation. 
Seedsmen are also faced with co-ordinating a production season that 
nature controls with mans planting schedules, which in this trade are of¬ 
ten artifical. Being human, the Seedsman does the best he can under any 
given circumstance. Usually this results in excellent service and a little 
human co-operation helps a lot.
