SNOWFLAKE” STOCK. 
6603 In habit this stock closely resembles the Dwarf 
Pyramidals : it produces a vigorous main spike of 
uncommonly large and very double snow-white 
flowers and, when fully developed, numerous flow- 
ering side-shoots. Its glossy dark green foliage ren- 
ders the dazzling whiteness of the flowers more 
conspicuous. It is one of the earliest of the Dwarf 
Ten Week Stocks, and is admirably adapted for 
forcing. Seed produces about 60 per cent. of double

STOCKS. 
(Mathiola annua.) 
The Stock is one of the most popular 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 Srocks (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.
