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 improvement 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, approximately 2)4 to 3 feet. We can with confidence 
recommend this strain to the florist grower. Vi trade Trade

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
