STOCKS, Nat. Ord. CruclfertP. 



The Stock Gillyflower is one of the most popular, beautiful, and important of our 

 garden favourites ; and whether for bedding, inassin^r, edging, or ril)boning, it is unsurpassed 

 either for brilliancy and diversity of colour, or jjrofusion and duration of bloom. 



The 10-week Stock (Matliiola annua) is the most universally cultivated^ and usually 

 blooms 10 to 12 weeks after being sown ; they prow from 6 to 15 inches high, and when 

 grown in rich soil and occasionally watered witli weak guano water, throw out an immense 



quantity of latei al spikes of bloom, so that each plant forms a perfect boucjuet, and it would 

 indeed be very difficult to surpass the grand effect produced in beds or ribbons by these 

 exquisite floral gems.

The Imperial or Emperor, sometimes called Perpetual Stocks, from their flowering like a. 

 perpetual rose, two or three times during the season; these are hybrids of the Brompton, 

 growing eighteen inches high, and of robust and branching habit. Sown in March or April 

 they make splendid " Adtumn Flowering Stocks," and are invaluable as a succession to the 

 summer flowering varieties ; .and should the winter prove mild, they will continue blooming to 

 Christmas. Sown in June or July, thej' are in bloom the following June, and continue flower- 

 ing throughout the summer and autumn months.
