STOCK EARLY COLONIAL 
Here for the first time is a tall and really exclusive branching type of Stock. 
This new Early Colonial strain blooms about two weeks earlier than the Per- 
petual Branching class and grows to a height of 30 to 36 inches in our field. 
Unlike the Giants of California and 
Improved Bismarck types, our new 
Early Colonial stock does not produce 
a center spike —so therefore requires 
no pinching to make it branch. From 
the base of each plant, eight to ten 
heavy thirty inch branches spread out 
and produce a plant twenty inches in 
diameter. 
Large two inch florets are typical of 
this new strain, and they form clusters 
or spikes fifteen inches long. The dou- 
bles percentage runs as high as our 
Giants of California Class, averaging 
better than 70%. 
We recommend this Early Colonial 
strain as a great improvement over all 
other types of Stock now being grown; 
when long branches are required, with 
no center spike.

petals, with a quilled deep golden yellow

center. The guard petals are out- 
lined with a thin stripe or band of 
yellow. 
Coronet will be useful for both 
cutting and bedding, as the plants 
are very uniform and throw stems 
12 inches long.
