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.

Beauty of Nice [hA-16 in.] A type developed on the 

 French Riviera. It follows the Ten Weeks class in season 

 of bloom. The plants are pyramidal in shape branching 

 above the base. This sort is excellent for bedding and 

 for cutting.

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 

 the open it is valuable only in mild climates. In Northern 

 latitudes where the season is short it must be taken inside 

 at the approach of killing frosts.

Special work on Stocks, in order to produce a 



higher percentage of double flowers, is going 



on at our Seed Breeding Stations. 



Dwarf Ten Weeks is one of the best Stocks for home gardeners to grow. 



SUNFLOWER (Helianthus) [hA] These flowers need to be bathed 

 in sunlight if they are to thrive. Except in the miniature 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 Yi oz. 30c; pkt. 10c 



Single Stella [3 ft.] A bushy, branching plant with leaves like the 

 Cucumber. It bears single flowers 3 inches across on long stems. The 

 yellow petals surround a small dark disc J^ oz. 30c; pkt. 10c

 petals forming a solid hemispherical head of bright yellow color.
