 prized as the Stock Gilliflower; its delightful fragrance, rich and varied colours, duration and pro- 

 fusion of bloom, admirably adapt it to any position in ornamental gardening, either flower-beds, edgings, or 

 massing. As a cut flower for drawing-room bouquets or portable flower-baskets, it is alike valuable.
