GARDENIA 
Column Stocks — 
The ‘Proof of the Pudding” as far 
as flowers are concerned, is how 
well does it sell. Wholesalers 
tell us that the pure white column 
stocks always ‘sell out’ first, 
ahead of the “muddy white” 
strains. In A. B. C. Gardenia, you 
have what is to the best of our 
knowledge, the purest glistening- 
white column stock available. 
Its graceful flower spikes meas- 
ure 12 to 15 inches on stems 
nearly three feet in length. The 
foliage of a normal plant is a 
silvery green that further adds 
to the attractiveness of Gardenia. 
Protect your interests—insist on 
the A. B. C. original strain of 
Gardenia.

NON-BRANCHING (Double Excelsior) 
A. B. C. SUPERIOR COLUMN STRAIN 
This type produces one enormous spike 2 to 3 feet in height and 
is especially adapted for greenhouse culture, as the plants can be 
grown close together. We have discontinued listing the other separate 
colors in this type, due to its being practically impossible to obtain 
seed that will prove satisfactory and give a high percentage of doubles. 
Those listed with Gardenia, are, in the opinion of most florist growers, 
the only reliable colors to grow. 2)

BRANCHING TYPE 
GIANTS OF CALIFORNIA 
“The World’s Best Double.” This magnificent new group is so marked 
in improvement that we believe they will head the list in florists’ 
forcing Stocks in the very near future. Giants of California are very 
early flowering with a high percentage of double mammoth flowers, 
and they have the branching habit of the Bismarck. If planted close, ° 
they will attain the height of 2¥ to 3 feet. We feel this strain justifies 
out highest recommendation.
