STOCKS iMiitkiola annua). The Stock Gilli-flower is one of the most popular, beautiful and important 

 garden favorites ; whether for bedding, massing, or pot-culture, it is unsurpassed either for brillianc>' and 

 diversity of color or profusion and duration of bloom. 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 

 throw out an immense quantity of lateral spikes of bloom, so that each plant forms a perfect bouquet of 

 delightful fragrance. For early flowering plants, start the seeds in a green-house or hot-bed, and trans- 

 plant into the garden in May after all danger of frost is over. We offer the following varieties, imported 

 from one of the best Pntssian growers ; half-hardy annuals, unless otherwise mentioned. For separate 

 colors, see assortmenLs of Stocks, page 44.
