The Intermediate or Spring-flowering Stocks are extensively cultivated for 
Covent Garden Market. In the early summer months, during the “ London 
Season," it constitutes one of the principal features in furnishing jardinets, 
&c., 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 is more valuable for the 
flower garden. For autumn flowering sow early in spring ; for spring 
flowering sow early in July, and winter in cold frame.
