 bedding, massing, or pot-culture, it is unsurpassed either for 

 brilliancv and diversitv of color or profusion and duration of 

 bloom. The TEN-WEEK STOCKS {3IathioIa annua) are gen- 

 erally cultivated, and bloom 10 to 12 weeks after being sown ; 

 they grow from 6 to 15 inches high, and when grown in rich 

 soil, and occasionally watered with weak guano water, throw 

 out an immense quantity of lateral spikes of bloom, so that each 

 plant forms a perfect bouquet of delightful fragrance. We 

 offer the following varieties, imported from one of the best
