Stocks are Attractive 



in vivid and soft colorings 



All our flower seeds are carefully tested. This is a trial oF one of our superior strains of Stocks. 



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 handsome 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.] This early class forms dwarf 

 compact plants that are excellent for edgings or low beds. 

 They often do well in sections where plants of the later 

 types cannot be grown.

Perpetual Branching [hA-20 in.] Sometimes called Dresden, 

 or "Cut-and-Come- Again". This variety is somewhat 

 later in season than Beauty of Nice, and in the North it 

 should be started very early. The plant branches near 

 the base, producing large flower spikes on long clean stems.

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.

Giant Winter (Brompton) [hhB-2ft.] This is a later bloom- 

 ing, branching plant which produces huge spikes. For use in

 latitudes where the season is short it must be taken inside 

 at the approach of killing frosts.

 bathed in sunlight if they are to thrive. Except in the mini- 

 ature 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. They are admirably 

 adapted for use as backgrounds or tall divisions. 



Single Red and Gold [5 ft.] These hybrids resemble the 

 Gaillardia in coloring and produce large single flowers with 

 deep red centers and petals in crimson and yellow.

 like the Cucumber. It bears single flowers 3 inches across on 

 long stems. The yellow petals surround a small dark disc.

 variety carrying large densely double bright golden-yellow 

 flowers.

 less quilled petals forming a sohd hemispherical head of
