96 PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.—FLOWER SEEDS. 
r id Our seed of Stocks is saved in Germany from plants grown in pots, ana 
tocks Or Gillitlowers produces much finer and larger flowers and a greater percentage of doubles 
¢ than the cheaper seed offered by some others which is saved from open- 
© S32 ground plants. 
These popuar flowers are easily grown, and are so highly fragrant and of such great beauty, and have so many good qualities, that they deserve a place in every 
garden ; they should be given good, rich soil to grow in, and willamply reward good treatment with remarkably large pyramids of bloom ; the flowers represent a great 
diversity of color. The Double Large-flowering and Colossal strains of Ten Weeks Stocks are great improvements over the Gilliflowers of the olden times, the flowers 
being much larger and more densely double, and there is also a much larger variety of colors and shades than there used to be. 
THE BROMPTON AND EMPEROR STOCKS are biennials; the seed is sown usually late in the summer and the plants wintered over, in cold latitudes, 
in frames or greenhouses, and the plants set out in the open garden in spring; they then commence to bloom very early and continue for a very long period.
