The annuals, such as the Ten-week Stocks, may be 

 sown from March to May for summer decoration, and in 

 August and September, to stand over the winter for 

 spring early flowering. For the latter purpose, none 

 beat the Intermediate, Queens, Bromptons, and other 

 biennials. Sow in June, plant in sheltered places, and 

 in pots, to be kept in cold pits, and turned out early in 

 spring. Seeds are recommended to be saved from the 

 neighbourhood of double flowers, which we consider of 

 no importance. The only true theory to get double 

 flowers is to leave few seeds on a plant, and give it very 

 high cultivation, and as much sunshine as possible. For 

 fine flowering, all these prefer rich, light soil. The best 

 of them may be successfully preserved by cuttings under 

 a hand-light, and then kept in a cold pit in winter. 

 The shrubby greenhouse kinds are easily propagated by 

 cuttings, and delight in a rich, sandy soil.
