STOCK OF NICE 

 "ABUNDANCE" 



A remarkable and valuable new type 

 of the Giant Nice or Continuity Stocks 

 described below, possessing the same 

 continous flowering qualities and pro- 

 ducing even a greater abundance of 

 bloom which with the half-dwarf branch- 

 ing style of growth render it phenomen- 

 al. The plant does not make a leader 

 or central spike but forms 12 to 15 

 sturdy main stems which again ramify 

 into 15 to 20 side branches or from 180 

 to 300 stems and branches to a plant all 

 carrying a wealth of superb double fra- 

 grant flowers, colored carmine-rose, well 

 grown specimens measure 2 feet across 

 each way. Imagination can scarsely 

 picture the magnificent effect. 

 "Abundance." Like its progenitors the 

 Nice or Continuity Stocks, may be 

 grown as a summer garden plant by 

 sowing the seed in Spring, or as a 

 winter-flowering plant by sowing the 

 seed in summer. 50 to 60% will come 

 double. One of our customers writes as 

 follows: " The sample you sent for trial 

 ithout doubt the finest Stock I have ever seen for 

 pots. Its freedom of bloom, beautiful color and 

 general appearance make it one of the best for 

 bedding and general outside culture Pkt. 20c. 



This magnificent strain is without a rival for open-ground planting 

 attaining a height of 2 l /i feet. The spikes of bloom are very long, 

 and the individual flowers are enormous in size and very double. 



These popular flowers are easily grown, and are so highly fragrant 

 and of such great beauty, and have so many good qualities, that 

 they deserve a place in every garden. They should be given 

 good rich soil to grow in and wil' amply reward good treat 

 ment with remarkably large pyramids of bloom; the flow- 

 ers represent a great diversity of brilliant color.
