 others are remarkable for their fine foliage, and are most 

 useful for groups on lawns, or as single specimens.

 ture orange tree, covered all winter with a profusion

STOCKS (German Ten Weeks). 

 (Gilliflower.) 



Ten Weeks Stocks comprise those varieties which, being sown 

 in spring, flower during the summer and fall. The Pyra- 

 midal probably produces more double flowers than any other 

 sort, and its dwarf habit renders it unequaled for bedding- 

 out work. The Wallflower-leaved have glossy foliage dis- . 

 tinct from any other class. If the Intermediate Stocks are 

 sown at the same time as the Ten Weeks, they will succeed 

 them in bloom, so that the "time of the Stocks" can be 

 greatly prolonged. All the seed we offer is carefully saved 

 from pot-grown plants. % to 1 ft. Half-hardy Annuals.
