Stocks are very satisfactory for Winter and Spring flow- 
ering. 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 in- 
ches and topped when 6 inches tall to produce side 2 
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 percentage of doubling the larg- 
est and most vigorous plants should be selected. 









Giants OA California 
(Branching) 
The Giants of California can also be grown similarly to 
the non-branching type. When grown this way the side 
shoots should be removed. For the retail grower the 
: vbranching 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.
