Micliell's Distinctive Stocks 
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. 1/2 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 
to grow. 
The following two are an improvement over any other Stock. They 
are exceptionally large flowered and very double.
