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 hotbed 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 hotbed, whence they can 

 be bedded out when three or 

 four inches high ; this should be 

 done before or during showery 

 weather. Transplanting sev- 

 eral times in the early stages of 

 growth tends to give them a 

 more compact and dwarf habit. 

 Stocks do well sown in the open 

 ground from the middle to the 

 last of May. 



For choice collections of Stocks, 

 see below. 



I ("Bird of Paradise Flower.") Mag- 

 I nificent greenhouse perennials, 

 i Bell shaped flowers, followed by 

 ( white berries. Fine. 



1 (Centaurea.) Pretty border 

 annuals, with long stems and 

 fragrant flowers. Do not 

 transplant. Fine for cutting. 



Derives its name from the popu- 

 lar supposition that its large 

 heads of flowers follow the sun 

 in its course. Showy for back- 

 grounds and shrubberies. Like 

 the Eucalyptus, good to absorb 

 the miasma of low grounds. 

 The large flowers are very rich 

 and effective. No. 4589 has sil- 

 very foliage and veryhandsome 

 small flowers.
