STOCK, Double In this class of Gilliflowers the gardener is assured of a delightful 

 perfume. Combined with this pleasing attribute the plants are of neat habit, 

 carrying velvety light green or lustrous bright green foliage and bearing hand- 

 some spikes of double rosette-like blossoms on fine stems. Vivid tones and soft 

 shades of color to suit every taste are available. 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.] Dwarf compact plants, excellent for edgings or 

 low beds. They often do well in sections where plants of the later types cannot 

 be grown.

Giant Imperial [hA-2 ft.] Long stems and imposing spikes of large flowers make 

 this the outstanding variety for florists. It is about as early as Beauty of Nice 

 and resembles it in habit, except that the plant is somewhat less spreading and 

 considerably taller. "Pure line" breeding has made our strains unsurpassed in 

 percentage of doubles. Either for greenhouse or garden they are excellent.

 they are to thrive. Except in the miniature type, each plant has a single robust 

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

 and bearing large circular flower heads. Admirably adapted for backgrounds or 

 tall divisions.

SWEET PEAS 



Stella is a dainty relative of the old-Fashioned 

 SunFlower. 



For fifty years Sweet Peas have been one of our specialties. The first 

 Sweet Pea novelty to be offered in the United States was Blanche Ferry. 

 Its initial appearance was in our catalogue of 1889. Since its introduc- 

 tion it has been popular in three forms, first as a Grandiflora, then as 

 an Extra Early or Earliest of All, and later as a Spencer. 



Sweet Peas are relatively hardy. They may be planted very early in 

 spring or late in the fall. They do best in well fertilized soil, and they 

 need considerable watering on warm days when evaporation is likely to 

 be high. As soon as the vines are four inches tall, they need support. 

 It is also of great importance to give the plants plenty of room, thinning 

 them to not less than six inches apart. 



LATE SPENCER 



This class is thrifty and vigorous. The vines are branching, sending 

 out shoots from the base and carrying an abundance of foliage. The 

 flowers are large, with upright standards delicately waved or frilled and 

 with graceful wings. Wherever the climate assuies rather cool nights 

 and days that are not extremely hot, this type will flourish to perfection.
