M ichelVs Stocks for fragrance 
and cut-flower satisfaction 
GIANTS OF CALIFORNIA 
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 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^ to 3 feet. We can with confidence 
recommend this strain to the florist grower.

Tahoka Daisy 
A beautiful free-flowering annual with fern-like foliage. The daisy¬ 
like flowers are a beautiful lavender-blue color and grow on good long 
stems, which make them splendid for cutting. Seed sown inside in April 
will commence to flower the latter part of June. For good germination, 
we suggest putting the seed in a refrigerator for a week or ten days.
