STOCK, Double Sweet fragrance is always an attraction to the 

 flower lover and in this class of Gilliflowers the gardener 

 is assured of a dehghtful perfume. Combined with this 

 pleasing attribute go many other fine qualities. The plants 

 are of neat habit, carrying velvety hght green or lustrous 

 bright green foliage, and bear handsome spikes of double 

 rosette-like blossoms on fine stems. Vivid tones and soft 

 shades of color to suit every taste are available for planting 

 the garden or for bouquets. Only single flowered Stocks 

 bear seeds, so no double strain can be reproduced without a 

 small percentage of singles. Our seeds will supply a very 

 large proportion of true doubles. 

 Dwarf Ten Weeks [hA-12 in.] This early class forms dwarf 

 compact plants branching moderately from the base. They 

 produce fine central spikes with side spikes less well devel- 

 oped. They are fine for edging or low beds.

Beauty of Nice [hA-18 in.] A type developed on the French 

 Riviera equally early with the Ten Weeks class. The plants 

 are pyramidal in shape branching above the base and sup)- 

 ply in addition to the central spike fine side spikes. This sort 

 is excellent for bedding, also for cutting.

 Perpetual Branching [hA-20in.] Somewhat later in season 

 than the Ten Weeks or Beauty of Nice. This group is also 

 pyramidal in form with fine lateral branches and splendid 

 spikes. Showy in the border, it is sometimes called "Cut 

 and Come Again," as cutting does not reduce the develop- 

 ment of younger spikes. Must be started very early for 

 Northern latitudes.

 Giant Winter [hhB-2 ft.] Very late blooming, branching 

 sorts producing great spikes. Only valuable in mUd chmates 

 for use in the open ground. Can only be used in Northern 

 latitudes, where the season is short, by removing inside 

 at the approach of killing frosts.

 Pkts. 15c each 



STEVIA [tP-2 ft.] Elegant free flowering sort of special merit 

 for picking and mixing as a foil with other colorful flowers 

 to form graceful bouquets. The slender stalks carry hght 

 green serrated leaves, and bear quantities of tiny clear 

 white blossoms faintly scented. Botanically this is "Pique- 

 ria Trinerva." Although it is hardy in a mild cHmate, it 

 flowers so promptly after sowing that it should be used as 

 an annual.

SUNFLOWER (Helianthus) [hA] Not only do these flow- 

 ers bear a resemblance to the sun but they also need to be 

 bathed in sunlight if they are to thrive. Except in the mini- 

 ature type, each plant has a single robust stalk, sometimes 

 forked near the top, clothed with large heart-shaped leaves 

 and bears terminally large circular flower heads. They are 

 admirably adapted for use as backgrounds or tall divisions. 



Single Red and Gold [5 ft.] These hybrids resemble the 

 Gaillardia in coloring and produce large single flowers with 

 deep red centers and petals in crimson and yeUow. 



Single Stella [3 ft.] A bushy, branching sort with leaves 

 like the cucumber bearing single flowers 3 inches across on 

 long stems. The yellow petals surround a small dark disc.

Double Chrysanthemum Flowered [6 ft] Stately tall 

 variety carrying large densely double bright golden-yellow 

 flowers.
