STOCKS (Jlaihiola). The Stock Gilly-flower is one of the most 

 popular, beautiful and important garden favorites ; whether for 

 Deciding, massing, or pot-culture, it is unsurpasi^ed either for 

 brilliancy and diversitv of color or profusion and duration of 

 bloom. The TEN-WEEK STOCKS [Mathiola annua) are gen- 

 erally cultivated, and bloom 10 to 12 weeks after being sovN-n ; 

 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 deligiitful fragrance. We 

 offer the following varieties, imported from" one of the best 

 growers in Prussia; haif-hardy; 1 ft. For assortments of
