Florist’s 
Stocks 
(19,000 seeds per oz.) 
This important cut flower assumes even greater importance as labor and other costs rise. They are best grown in a temperature of 
50-60 degrees. Sowing direct into the bench where they are to bloom makes for stronger, more vigorous plants. Rows are usually made 
6 inches apart and the plants are thinned to stand approximately 3 inches. Selection of the stronger seedings will have a tendency to 
increase the percentage of doubles. Proper feeding with greenhouse Vigoro or Hy-Gro (every two weeks until buds form) will be found 
beneficial and greatly improves the quality.

much stronger growing with longer stems, larger flowers and 
spikes. Planted 6 x 8, they will produce a number of stems; how-

like the columns. Many consider Santa Maria, grown in this man-

TRYSOMIC STOCK 
BRANCHING BISMARK TYPE 
Ten years of intensive work was necessary before the technique 
of breeding this new type could be developed. Column stocks 
will be introduced soon. The originator, Waller Franklin Seed 
Co., claims this Trysomic stock produces 85% or more doubles 
when sown from seed and the percentage can be increased up 
to 100% by selection at the four leaf stage because the singles 
are noticeably weaker. We recommend you try this strain.
