STOCK GIANT WONDER 
This splendid new stock represents a great improve- 
ment over all forcing stocks in size of flowers, doubleness, 
habit of growth and length of stems. It is a double purpose 
stock. When planted close the plant makes one long spike 
of mammoth florets closely packed around the stem. Given 
plenty of room the plants branch out producing double florets 
of still mammoth size on numerous branches two feet long. 
A bed of Giant Wonder stock produces extraordinary effect. 
Giant Wonder stock is extra early, the seed produces a high 
percentage of doubles. A prominent New York florist says: 
Giant Wonder Stock is the acme of perfection. You will agree 
once you”ll see Giant Wonder in bloom. WHITE, BRIL-
