Stock Varieties preceded by star (â ) are the most popular colors. Our Stock seed is secured from the most reliable growers, who devote much time and attention to roguing and selecting, and better seed cannot be had. We have furnished seed for many years to the most critical growers of this plant. A leaflet on "Methods of Selecting Double Flowered Stocks in the Seedling Stage," by S. L. Emsweller, will be included in all orders for Column Stock seed. "NON-BRANCHING" COLUMN STOCKS These produce one enormous spike with large flowers, 2 to 1Yi ft. high, and can be planted close together in the bench, which makes them a profitable type.
