STOCKS 
The Stock is one of the most 
popular annuals, either for 
heriding or pot culture; for 
brilliancy and diversity of col- 
or, fragrance, profusion and 
duration of bloom, it is unsur- 
passed.

BEAUTY or ' ^ — " 
"GIANT NICE" STOCK 
The plants are of 6ne symmetrical habit, bushy, 
and in flower stand about IK to 2 feet in height. 
The numerous side branches each carry a tall 
strong spike well furnished with unusually large 
and very double deliciously clove-scented flowers. 
Among the merits of "Beauty" Stocks is their a 
daptability to n«any cultural conditions and their 
decorative effectiveness, whether grown in flower 
beds, garden borders or as potted specimens. They 
do not flower as quickly from seed sowing as Ten- 
week Stocks, the "Beauties" requiring from 12 to 
15 weeks, but after they commence blooming their 
long continued profusion is phenomenal. Seeds 
started early in the spring and the seedlings trans- 
planted in the garden in May will begin flowering 
in July and continue to bloom until frozen. When X 
grown especially for winter flowering — for which 
"Beauty" Stocks are peculiarly adaptable — it is 
better to sow the seeds in July or August. As cut flowers "Beauty" Stocks are 
unsurpassable, their splendid trusses of bloom lend themselves to table and other 
floral decorations.
