Stocks (Gilliflower) HHA 



The Stocks are old-world favorites, useful for bedding, 

 pot-plants and cutting. They are generally satisfactory but 

 do best on a medium-light soil, with plenty of moisture and 

 some shade in hot weather. The seed may be sown under 

 glass in March or outside in late April or May; indoor 

 planting will, of course, provide earlier flowers. Under fav- 

 orable conditions Stocks will bloom from midsummer until 

 frost. Our strains are carefully selected; 60 to 75 per cent 

 of the plants will produce double flowers; all are very 

 fragrant.
