NON-BRANCHING (Double Excelsior) 
GIANT COLUMN 
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.

BRANCHING TYPE 
GIANTS OF CALIFORNIA 
"The World's Best Double 
Branching Type" 
This magnificent new group is 
so marked in improvement 
that we believe they will head 
the list in florists' forcing 
Stocks in the very near future. 
Giants of California are very 
early flowering, with a high 
percentage of double mam¬ 
moth flowers, and they have 
the branching habit of the 
Bismarck. If planted close, 
they will attain the height of 
21/2 to 3 feet. We feel this 
strain justifies our highest rec¬ 
ommendation. 
Golden Gate. Clear golden 
yellow. 
Monterey. Bright pink. 
Pacific. Light blue. 
Redwoods. Blood red. 
Santa Barbara. Chamois. 
Santa Maria. Pure white. 
Sequoia. Rich sparkling car¬ 
mine.
