Stocks, Improved Giant Bismarck 
STOCKS 
Gilliflower. This much beloved flower comes in charming colors and has delightful fragrance. Seed 
strains are bred to produce the prized double flowers, but a number of singles will appear. Stocks are 
ideal for bedding and cut-flower borders where the summers are not too hot. They require a light, 
rich soil, but avoid fresh manure. In warm latitudes it is best to plant them in a shady location. For 
outside culture start the seed indoors in February and set the plants out, to stand 1 foot apart, in 
April to bloom in June. Be sure to provide shade after transplanting, until established. 
Improved Giant Bismarck. Each, pkt. 15c; ~50z. 35ce; Moz. 60c; Loz. $1; oz. $3 
Also called Early Giant Imperial, this is the best for both inside and outdoor culture. The 2%-foot plants have 
robust, pyramidal form, with long-stemmed, large spikes of double very early flowers. For cut-flowers in a green- 
house below 50 degrees, space the plants 6 inches apart each way. When 8 inches high remove the top third of the 
plant to increase and lengthen the side branches and so produce more flowers. Yields a high percentage of doubles.
