STOCKS (GERMAN, FRENCH, AND ENGLISH). NAT. ORD., Crucifera. 



The Stock Gillyflower is one of the most popular, beautiful, and important of our garden 

 favorites ; and whether for bedding, massing, edging, or ribboning, it is unsurpassed, either 

 for brilliancy and diversity of color, or profusion and duration of bloom. 



The Ten-week Stock is the most universally cultivated, and usually blooms ten to twelve 

 weeks after being sown. They grow from six to fifteen inches high, and when cultivated in 

 rich soil, and occasionally watered with weak guano water, throw out an immense quantity 

 of lateral spikes of bloom, so that each plant forms a perfect bouquet ; and it would, indeed, 

 be difficult to surpass the grand effect produced in beds or ribbons by these exquisite gems.
