(Mathiola annua.) 



The Stock Gilly-flower is one of the most popular 

 plants, either for beilding, massing, or pot-culture; for 

 brilliancy and diversity of color or profusion and duration 

 of bloom it is unsurpassed. The Ten Week Stocks 

 [Sluthiola annua) are generally cultivated, and bloom 

 from ten to twelve weeks after being sown ; they grow from 

 6 to 18 inches high, and when grown in light, ricli soil, 

 and occasionally watered with weak guano water, they 

 bear an immense quantity of bloom, so that each plant 

 forms a perfect bouquet of delightful fragrance. For early 

 "owering, start the seeds in a greenhouse or hot-bed, and 

 transplant into the garden in May after all danger of frost 

 is over; half-liardy annual.
