Cult. In order to procure fine double Stock- GiUifluwers, 

 Brompton and Queen-stocks, is to make choice of such single 

 flowering plants as grow near many double ones, for it has been 

 observed that seed saved from plants growing among double 

 kinds have produced a much greater number of double flowering
