STOCKS— ( Continued ) 
No. 7—Malmaison Pink. Long-stemmed light 
or shell pink, becoming blush pink under win¬ 
ter conditions. Like our original Ball White 
Tinged from which we selected Malmaison Pink, 
it is some inclined to branch from about end of 
stem. A choice shade under Spring conditions. 
No. 6—American Beauty. True deep American 
Beauty rose. A rich, tho heavy, color. 
No. 8—Ruby. Long-stemmed strong crimson 
red. Strikingly fine where that color can be used. 
No. 2—Ball White. Under some conditions, 
this will come very lightly tinged, but hardly 
enuf so to prevent its use as a pure white. 
Flowers closely spaced and extra long-stemmed. 
No. 2—Ball White Medium Tall. Same as our 
No. 2 but 6 to 8 in. shorter stemmed. 
No. 5—Ball White Extra Dwarf. The most 
compact pure white non-branching type. Attrac¬ 
tive as a pot plant; grow 6 plants in a 6 inch 
pan, removing the Singles soon as detected. 
No. 4—Ball White Dwarf. 8 to 10 in. shorter 
than our No. 2 Medium Tall. If grown quite 
cool in the early stages, this will set buds early 
enuf to make an attractive pot plant. 
No. 9—Chamois Pink. Pleasing apricot or 
chamois pink. A fine color, but we regret our 
inability to get this variety much over 50% 
double. 
Gardenia. Evidently a purer white selection of 
our Ball White Tinged Pink. While it retains 
the slight tendency to branch, it is quite long¬ 
stemmed and a good white. About 10 days 
later than our strains. Tr. pkt., $1.25; Vs oz., 
$2.50; y 4 oz., $4.50; l/ 2 oz., $8.00; 1 oz., 
$15.00. 
No. 10—Ball Non-Branching Mixture. A bal¬ 
anced mixture of the more valuable cut flower 
colors in the above list. % tr. pkt., 60c; tr. 
pkt., $1.00; 1/4 oz., $2.25; T oz., $8.00. 
BRANCHING STOCKS 
Part of any retail grower’s Stocks should be of 
this class because of their freer flowering, tho 
shorter stemmed, habit. A good plan is to space 
this class about 6 x 6 in. When up 6 to 8 in., 
top back about a few in. Another suggestion is 
to let them run into bud far enuf to distinguish 
the singles that make long buds, while the doubles 
GIANTS OF CALIFORNIA 
This class improves the Bismarcks in being of 
somewhat stronger growth and some longer stem. 
The original of this class is Santa Maria that we 
consider the best branching white. While this 
new class doesn’t radically improve the Bismarcks, 
they are distinctly better. 
*Pacific. Fairly dark blue with extra stem and 
growth; about the color of Bismarck Lilac. 
*Yosemite. About the shade of Bismarck Rose; 
a strong clear color with extra heavy growth. 
*Santa Maria. Generally accepted as the best 
branching pure white; distinctly stronger than 
Bismarck White. 
Roselight. Similar to Yosemite, but some 
stronger growing.

are short. When the singles can easily be noted, 
remove them and top the remaining doubles, that, 
under favorable growing conditions, will easily 
fill out the bed. However, most retail growers 
use single Stocks to advantage. * indicates the
