STOCKS, "REALTY" OR "GIANT NICE" 



The plants are of fine symmetrical habit, bushy, and in flower stand about 

 V/i to 2 feet in height. The numerous side branches each carry a tall, strong 

 spike well furnished with unusually large and very double clove-scented flowers. 

 Decorative whether grown in flower beds, garden borders or as potted speci- 

 mens. They do not flower as quickly from seed sowing as Ten-week Stocks, 

 the "Beauties" requiring from 12 to 15 weeks, but after they commence bloom- 

 ing their long-continued profusion is phenomenal. When grown especially for 

 winter flowering — for which "Beauty" Stocks are peculiarly adaptable, it is 

 better to sow the seed in July or August. As cut flowers "Beauty" Stocks are 

 unsurpassable, their splendid trusses of bloom lend themselves to table and 

 other floral decorations and the fragrant flowers are of lasting substance.
