PETER HENDERSON & CO.-FLOWER SEEDS. 



87 



The Ten "Weeks Stock, " Stock Gilly" or "Gillyflower," as they at-e some- 

 times called, stands pre-eminent among annuals for either flower beds, pot culture, 

 cut flowers, and delicious spicy perfume ; they have been greatly improved in 

 the past few years, and a large flowering strain has been originated which for size, 

 doubleness and variety of exquisite shades of color is remarkable. (See cut.)

 the open ground, and if sown earl}-, will pi-nduco from spriii 

 its pure white, beautifully 

 shaped double flowers. It 

 LARGE FLowEursG 10 WEEKS STOCKS. throws out Bumbers of sidc 



branches, each of which bears a cluster of blossoms, and the offener thej^ are cut the 

 better they seem to like it. It makes a splendid stock for cutting, and is quite fra- 

 grant ; succeeds equally well when grown in pots. (See cut.) Per Packet, 25-cts. 



This magnificent new strain, "Henderson's New Colossal Stocks,'' are, for 

 garden culture, without a rival. The spikes of bloom are enormous, the individual 

 flowers are monstrous in size and very double, the colors charming, and the fra- 

 grance delicious. One of the greatest merits of this strain is the unusually long 

 period that they remain in flower — nearly twice as long as ordinary TenWeeks Stoc k .

Intermediate, or Autumn Stock. 



Sown in the sprinfr, they will flower in autumn. If planted in conjimction with the Ten Weeks 

 Stocks, the " time of the stocks" can be much lengthened. They are also the best for flower- 

 ing in the house in winter or spring; for this purpose sow the seed in midsummer, and the 

 plants grown in pots in cold frames until ready to be taken in.
