FLOWER SEEDS 
VEGAS VOrae 4G 
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 be- 
fore 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 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 percentage 
of doubling the largest and most vigorous plants should be selected.
