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. This 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 branch- 
ing 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 percentage of doubling the 
largest and most vigorous plants should be selected.

able. Refer to Gloeckner's 1950 Chrysanthemum Manual for a complete listing

GIANTS OF 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 
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.
