The Intermediate or Spring-flowering Stock 
is extensively cultivated for Covent Garden 
Market. In the' early summer months, during 
“ the London season ,” it constitutes one of the 
principal features in furnishing jar dinets, etc., 
and is also of great value in filling the early 
summer flower-beds. The East Lothian Stock 
is more branching than the true Intermediate, 
and therefore not so well adapted for pot-culture, 
but it is more valuable for the Jlower-gurden. 
For autumn flowering sow early in spring ; for 
spring -flowering sow early in July.
