 BEAUTY OR "GIANT NICE" STOCKS 



The plants are of fine symmetrical habit, bushy, and -in flower stand about \}4 to 2 feet in height. The 

 numerous side branches each carry a tall, strong spike well furnished with unusually large and very double 

 deliciously clove-scented flowers. Decorative whether grown in flower beds, garden borders or as potted 

 specimens. 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 blooming their long-continued profusion is phenomenal. 

 Seeds started early in the spring in a hotbed or greenhouse and the seedlings transplanted in the garden 

 in May will begin flowering in July and continue to bloom until frozen. Late sown plants if carefully 

 lifted and potted in the fall will continue to flower beautifully in window garden or conservatory during 

 the winter, though when grown especially for winter flowering — for which "Beauty" Stocks are peculiarly 

 adaptable, it is better to sow the seeds in July or August. As cut flowers "Beauty" Stocks are unsurpass- 

 able, their splendid trusses of bloom lend themselves to table and other floral decorations and the fragrant 

 flowers are of lasting substance.
