HALLAWELL’S BASE BRANCHING 
STRAINS 
Stocks are one of the most satisfactory garden 
flowers. They provide color and fagrance, and 
Hallawell's base-branching Stocks produce a 
great many more spikes, which may be re- 
moved as cut flowers, without disfiguring the 
plant. 
Plant in reasonably fertile soil and set them 
close together, then remove the plants bearing 
single flowers as soon as the flowers open. This 
will give the doubles room to grow and will 
make a beautiful bed. 
Our Stocks are selected to produce about 65% 
doubles and the remainder will be single. This 
is a very high percentage of doubles. 
Stocks do not like wet feet so plant them where 
they will have deep moisture with good drain- 
age. 
HALLAWELL’S SUPER GIANT 
IMPERIAL 
These are the new base branching Stocks that 
branch close to the ground and grow many long 
spikes bearing from 35 to 45 individual florets 
measuring 2 inches or more in diameter. They 
are particularly good for cut flowers; spikes 
may be removed and the plant still makes a 
fine show in the garden. 
Set the plants close together, then remove the 
plants of single flowers if you want a good 
showing of doubles. They grow about 2% feet 
high.
