FLOWER AND 
SEE 
Stocks are very satisfactory for Winter and Spring flowering. Sowing 
the seed in August and benching in October, the first flowers may be 
cut before Christmas if additional light (40-60 watt lamps spaced 5 feet) 
is used. Without this aid the crop will come into flower in January. 
Continuity of bloom may be obtained by successive sowings. The non- 
branching type, which has come into general use, should be planted 
3 inches in the row and 6 inches between rows, producing a single stem. 
The branching types should be planted 8 x 8 inches and topped when 
6 inches tall to produce side shoots of sufficient length. 
Flowering of stocks only occurs when the temperatures are below 
60 degrees for the greater part of the night. To secure the greatest per- 
centage of doubling the largest and most vigorous plants should be 
selected.

Giants of CalJornia 
(Branching) 
The Giants of California can also be grown similarly to the non-branch- 
ing type. When grown this way the side shoots should be removed. 
For the retail grower the branching types are gaining popularity. These 
should be planted 8 x 8 inches and topped when 6 inches tall to produce 
side shoots of sufficient length.
