"COLUMN STOCK" is one of our major 
crops. Amongst our trials this year, we grew 
variety "GARDENIA". It was grown next to 
what we thought the best white, but there is 
no comparison. The spikes are long, good stiff 
stem, well placed flowers, good fragrance and 
the color is a pure white. We will no doubt 
grow variety "GARDENIA" for white entirely, 
next year.
