NON-BRANCHING 
(Excelsior Column Stocks) 
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 Christ- 

mas if additional light (40-60 lamps spaced 5 feet) 
.is used. Without this aid the crop will come into 
flower in January. Continuity of bloom may be ob- — 
tained 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 branching types 
should be planted 8x 8 inches and topped when 6 
inches tall to produce side shoots of sufficient length. 
Flowering of stocks only occurs when the tempera- 
tures 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. . ¢
