 water, throw out an immense quantity of lateral spikes of 

 bloom, so that each plant forms a perfect bouquet; and it 

 would indeed be difficult to surpass the grand effect pro- 

 duced in beds or ribbons by these exquisite gems. Half-

STOCKS, INTERMEDIATE. 



The Intermediate varieties are prized on account of their 

 flowering late in the autumn; also as pot plants for early 

 spring blooming, for which purpose they should be sown 

 in July or August, and kept from hard frost during winter. 

 Plants treated in this way, and planted out in May, make- 

 a rich display during the early summer months.
