STOCKS. 



(Mathiola annua.) 



The Stock is one of the most po)mlar plants, either 

 for bedding, massing, or pot-culture; for brilliancy and 

 diversity of color or profusion and duration of bloom it is 

 unsurpassed. The Ten Week Stocks (Mathiola annua) 

 are generally cultivated, and bloom from ten to twelve 

 weeks after being sown ; they grow from 6 to 18 inches 

 high, and when grown in light, rich soil, and occasionally 

 watered with weak guano water, they bear an immense 

 quantity of bloom, so that each plant forms a perfect bou- 

 quet of delightful fragrance. For early flowering, start 

 the seeds in a greenhouse or hot-bed, and transplant into 

 the garden in May after all danger of frost is over; half- 

 hardy annual.
