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 tempera- 
ture 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 seed- 
ings 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.

GIANTS OF CALIFORNIA 
This type is similar in habit to the Bismarck, except that they 
are much stronger growing with longer stems, larger flowers 
and spikes. Planted 6 x 8, they will produce a number of 
stems; however, grown close, 3 x 6, they can be grown to a 
single stem like the columns. Many consider Santa Maria, 
grown in this manner, the most profitable of all stocks.
