The new fragrant Stocks will surely please you 
MICHELL’S 
“Distinctive” 
STOCKS 
The Stock is one of the most popular and 
highly prized of our cultivated flowers because 
of its charming colors, delightful fragrance, 
and free-blooming character. Our seed is hand- 
saved from pot-grown specimens and will pro- 
duce a large percentage of double flowers. 
The Early Giant Imperial and Early-Flowering 
“Nice’’ Stocks must be started early indoors 
if wanted for outdoor blooming. 
Ask for Cultural Leaflet No. 211 on the 
growing of Stocks. 

Giant Imperial Stocks 
NEW GIANTS OF CALIFORNIA 
This magnificent new group is so marked in 
improvement that we believe they will head the 
list in forcing Stocks in the very near future. 
Giants of California are very early flowering. 
with a high percentage of mammoth double 
flowers, and having the branching habit of the 
Bismarck. If planted close, they will nearly 
attain the height of the Column Stock, ap- 
proximately 30 to 36 inches. Large

tion, we suggest putting the seed in a re- 
frigerator for a week or ten days. Pkt., 25c;
