COLE'S GARDEN ANNUAL. 



STOCK (Ten Weeks) 



The Ten Week Stock is one 

 of the most popular, beauti- 

 ful and important of our gar- 

 den favorites; whether for 

 bedding, massing or pot cul- 

 ture, it is unsurpassed, eith- 

 er for brilliancy or color, ex- 

 quisite fragi-ance, or profu- 

 sion and duration of bloom. 

 For winter blooming in the 

 house sow seed in June. The 

 seed we offer is from a cele- 

 brated German stockgrower, 

 from selected pot plants, and
