COLUMN STOCKS 
Column Stocks are one of the most important seed-produced cut flowers used by 
florists. They have gained immensely in popularity, especially on the West Coast. They 
were introduced to the American trade by Geo. J. Ball, who discovered one color of the 
column type while traveling in Germany in the early 30’s. He developed this type into 
the many colors which are still widely used by commercial florists today. 
In the East and Midwest, Stocks are suited to greenhouse culture only 
—reason: they refuse to set bud in temperatures over 65° for six hours 
a day. However, this subject is ideally suited to West Coast climate and, 
of course, glass house culture. They have gracefully tapering spikes, 
lovely pastel shades—and above all, a scent or aroma of sufficient appeal 
to be used as a base for many fine perfumes. Cultural directions are in- 
cluded with each order.
