STOCKS (.German Ten Weeks), 



(Gilliflower). 



Ten Weeks Stocks comprise those varieties which, being 

 sown in spring,flowerduringthesummerandfall. The 

 Pyramidal probably produce more double flowers than 

 any other sort, and its dwarf habit renders it unequal- 

 ed'for bedding-out work. The Wallflower leaved

 the Ten Weeks, they will succeed them in bloom, so 

 that the "time of the Stocks" can be greatly prolonged.

 plants. 1 to fi ft. Half-hardy' Annuals.
