Well-grown Stocks are a profitable crop. 
Flower Seeds for Florists” 
Gall Stocks are 
NON -BRANCHING 
(18,000 seeds per ounce) 
Never have we experienced a greater demand for our fine scientifi- 
cally-bred strains of Non-Branching Stocks than during this past year. 
This is explained by the ease with which they are grown and the fact 
that a highly profitable crop can be produced with less labor than 
most crops call for. They require no disbudding and may be sown 
direct where they are to flower, saving a lot of costly transplanting 
time. 
Important points to keep in mind in growing a profitable crop of 
Stocks are that clean or sterilized soil is necessary to prevent root rot 
as well as timely supporting to avoid worthless crooked stems. 
While we believe we have sufficient seed on hand to take care of all 
orders, supplies of a few varieties may run short. Early ordering will 
help to assure your needs.

OUR 3 FINEST 
Our own growing experience indicates that these three: can’t be 
beat and enthusiastic reports from growers everywhere bear this 
out. 
*“No. 16 Ball White Improved-Medium Tall. Our porliest pure 
white, with extra large florets and well-formed, compact 
spikes. Not recommended for outside planting, but suffi- 
ciently long-stemmed for greenhouse culture. 
*No. 1 Lilac Lavender. Second only in popularity to Ball White. 
Our own excellent large flowered strain that is well liked by 
all markets. 
*No. 22 Ball Supreme. Extra long stiff stems and fine heavy 
spikes of rich silvery rose have made this the outstanding 
variety of its color class. 
White Varieties 
*No. 15 Ball White Improved. Slightly smaller flowered than our No. 
16 but longer-stemmed. Where Stocks can be grown outdoors this 
is the preferred white, but does equally well under glass. 
Gardenia. Long stemmed and pure white, but not entirely non- 
branching. One of the latest flowering varieties. 
Pink, Rose and Red Varieties 
No. 11 Ball Pink. A medium light rose pink. Earlier and somewhat 
lighter than our No. 22, but not quite as long stemmed. 
*No. 14 Ball Rose Pink. An early flowering fairly deep rose pink. 
Darker in color and longer stemmed than the above variety. 
No. 9 Chamois Pink Improved. A warm rosy buff color. Distinctly 
improves the original stock of this variety in stem length and per- 
centage of doubles. . 
No. 7 Malmaison Pink. Extra long-stemmed blush pink, with some 
tendency to branch at the base of the flower spike. 
No. 6 American Beauty. Rich deep American Beauty or carmine 
rose. An appealing but rather heavy color. 
No. 8 Ruby. Long-stemmed, glowing crimson red. Plant moderately 
of this rather strong:color ‘for market use. 
The asterisk (*) indicates varieties most dependably satisfactory in our experience and observation.
