 clusters. The flowers of this new type are much larger than the old type 

 stellatas and of greater substance.

This comparatively new type produces the largest double flowers of any class in the Stock fam- 

 ily. The flowers are borne on long trusses standing 2 to 2i feet above the ground. The plants 

 are of strong, healthy, robust growth and produce continuously for weeks their fine spikes of 

 splendid flowers which are also delightfully fragrant. Plants from seeds sown in the spring 

 commence blooming in early summer and continue until cut down by frost. They, however, 

 are equally valuable as winter flowering plants and furnish excellent cutting material. For the 

 latter purposes sow the seeds during the summer. They commence flowering in from 12 to 15 

 weeks from seed sowing.
