Orchid Salpiglossis. Tnis is a splendid strain of 
these beautiful annuals. The 
immense, Petunia-like flowers are borne on dwarf, sturdy branch- 
ing plants, not exceeding 24 inches in height, that do not require 
staking. The colours, red, blue, yellow, pink, etc., in various 
shades, are intricately netted, pencilled and veined with golden- 
yellow or other colours. They are of the easiest culture and flower 
profusely during the summer. A bed of Orchid Salpiglossis 
in flower is strikingly beautiful. The long-stemmed flowers are 
also fine for cut flower decorations. Pkt.

STOCKS, Gilliflower 
Stocks are universally one of the most admired annuals, and 
have long occupied a prominent position in almost every garden. 
For beauty, dazzling effect, and long continuance of bloom, 
they are unsurpassed, whilst their delightful fragrance renders 
them indispensable for bouquets, vases, etc. The seed we offer 
was saved from plants grown in pots only, and will yield as high 
a percentage of double flowers as it is possible to obtain.
