 STOCKS. {Matluola.) The Stock Gilly-flower is one of the 

 most popular, beautiful and important garden favorites ; 

 whether for bedding, massing, or pot culture, it is un- 

 surpassed either for brilliancy and diversity of color, or 

 profusion and duration of bloom. The TEN WEEK 

 STOCKS, (Maf/iiol2 annua,) is generally cultivated, and 

 blooms 10 to 12 weeks after being sown ; thej^ grow from 

 G 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 delightful fra- 

 grance. We offer the following varieties, imported from 

 one of the best growers in Prussia :
