This comparatively new type produces the largest double flowers of any class in the Stock fam- 
ily. The flowers are borne on long trusses standing 2 to 24 feet above the ground. The plants 
are of strong, healthy, robust growth and produce continuously for weeks their fine spikes of 
Splendid flowers which are also delightfully fragrant. Plants from seeds sown in the spring 
commence blooming in early summer and continue until cut down by frost. They, however, 
are equally valuable as winter flowering plants and furnish excellent cutting material. For the 
latter purposes sow the seeds during the summer. They commence flowering in from 12 to 15 
weeks from seed sowing
