GIANT PERFECTION STOCKS. 



The Gilliflowers of our grandmothers' time are 

 kardly recognized in the showy Ten Weeks 

 Stocks of today, so greatly have they been im- 

 proved. The Giant Perfection is a beautiful 

 strain, unrivalled for out-door planting, with 

 enormous flowers in white, old pink, mauve red, 

 purple, blush, etc. The plants are much 

 branched, each bearing several long, pyramidal 

 spikes, crowded with their fragrant blossoms. 

 Give them good soil and they will prove 

 abundantly satisfactory. From 80 to 90 per 

 cent will come double. Annual. 2% feet. Pkt., 

 5 cts. 



SNOWFLAKE STOCKS. 



A superb, large-flowered variety, bear- 

 ing snowy white flowers, splendid for 

 cutting and the best for potting. The 

 flowers are very double and crowded to- 



f ether in a compact spike and bloom 

 rom early spring to late fall, and the 

 plant is much branched, thus affording 

 plenty of cut flowers. It is listed by some 

 seedsmen as the "Princess Alice," or the 

 ,l Cut-and-Come- Again" Stock, the latter 

 name arising from the fact that the more 

 the blossoms are cut the better the plant 

 seems to thrive. Sown late in the season, 

 it makes a fine plant for winter bloom- 

 ing. Pkt., 5 cts. 



Snowflake Stocks. 



SWAINSONIA ALBA. 



A very pretty greenhouse plant, gener- 

 ally sold only by the florist, but it may be 

 secured also from seed. It may be 

 trained as a vine, or kept in bush form 

 by pinching back. The foliage is slen- 

 der and fern-like, and the blossom a 

 pure milk-white, like a miniature sweet 

 pea, but borne in long clusters of 15 to 25 

 in a bunch. It is almost never without 

 flowers. Perennial. Pkt., 8 cts. 



DWARF GERMAN STOCKS. 



This is an extra fine strain of large- 

 flowering Stocks. The plants are com- 

 pact and free bloomers, and furnish all 

 the desirable shades. Annual. Mixed. 

 Pkt., 3 cts
