STOCKS. "Gilliflower." A favorite annual, succeeding 
best in California during the winter season. Largely

Very effective for planting in beds or borders. To 
obtain the best results the seed should be sown in 
August, September, or early part of October, in 
seed boxes of rather light soil, and afterwards 
transplanted to the open ground. In transplanting 
stocks care should be taken to save the small or 
weak growing plants, as these generally produce 
double flowers, while the strong, robust growing 
seedlings often come single. The seed I offer Is ob- 
tained direct from one of the best specialists in 
Europe and can be relied upon to produce a larre 
percentage of double flowers. S
