{Mathiola.) These seeds are 

 saved from the finest double 

 varieties. Unsurpassed for bed- 

 ding, massing, edging or pot 

 culture, being very free and long 

 bloomers, and of much diversity 

 and brilliancy of color. They 

 are also very attractive in form 

 and richly fragrant. The double 

 white sorts are largely used in 

 summer for bouquets and floral 

 work. In this latitude, Stocks 

 should be sown from the middle 

 of March to the first part of May, 

 on a spent hot-bed, or in pots or 

 shallow boxes in a frame or in 

 the house ; and when an inch 

 high, they should be trans- 

 planted into fine soil, which 

 should be spread over a dis- 

 carded hot-bed, whence they 

 can be bedded out when three 

 or four inches high ; this should 

 be done before or during show- 

 ery weathe r. Transplant- 

 ing several times in the early 

 stages of growth tends to give 

 them a more compact and dwarf 

 habit. Stocks do well sewn in 

 the open ground from the mid- 

 dle to the last of May.
