STOCKS 
FOR FORCING 
Seed of Stock for forcing has always been more or less unpre- 
iictable with regard to the percentage of doubles it will produce. 
Selection of the strongest plants, growing in rich soil and proper 
ieeding has been standard practice, but even under these con- 
ditions sometimes the percentage of doubles is too low for profit. 
To use all possible safeguards, our grower plants a quantity 
of each lot of seed and any lot that does not prove up to stand- 
ard, is discarded. 
Careful comparative tests have proved that our strains are 
equal to the best available and we feel convinced that we can 
satisfy the most critical. 
MAMMOTH FLOWERED COLUMN 
New White 
SNOW PEAK. Several years of trial convince us that this 
new white is one of the best in this color. The flowers are a 
snowy white, well placed on the stems and it will bloom two 
weeks earlier than all other column stock. 
The percentage of doubles averages about 55% which is 
lower than most varieties, but careful selection of notched leaved 
plants will bring this up considerably.

FORCING BRANCHING TYPES
