Extra fine, mixed. Is. per pkt. 
The above varieties of Stock have proved to be the 
most distinct and decorative , and suitable to the 
different styles of gardening for which the Stock is 
so admirably adapted. AH are desirable, pot -plants, 
and are greatly prized as cut flowers, both for their 
diverse colours and fragrance. For a continuous 
succession of bloom, seed should be sown at intervals 
from the beginning of March to the end of May ; 
the first sowing under glass , the latter sowings may 
be made where the plants arc intended to bloom.
