STOCKS (Continued) 
IMPROVED BISMARCKS 
A good proportion of a retail grower's Stocks should consist of this 
class. Though shorter stemmed, they are more freely produced than 
the non-branching. The branching kind can be planted close and 
grown single stemmed. Planted this way they won't branch except 
about the top and from there the branches should be removed. 
A good suggestion with the branching kind is to space them 6x6 
inches. When up about 8 inches, top back about one-third. Stars (*) 
indicate preferred varieties.

SPRING FLOWERING 
A New Race of Sweet Peas for Greenhouse Culture 
Tested in Greenhouses 
When tested in the greenhouse under commercial conditions, this new 
"spring-flowering type" performed outstandingly well in the spring 
months, giving excellent flowers on long stems when the regular early- 
flowering types had given out. The spring-flowering type also gives a 
much heavier crop of flowers than the standard early-flowering type. 
Seeds of the spring-flowering type should not be sown before Septem¬ 
ber or October in the greenhouse for flowering during March, April 
and early May. 
Spring-Flowering Blue. A splendid clear marine blue. 
Spring-Flowering Clear Rose-Pink. 
Spring-Flowering Lavender. Beautiful clear lavender. 
Spring-Flowering Sterling. Duplexed salmon rose.
