The Intermediate or Spring- flowering Stocks arc 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, etc., and is also of great value in filing 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.

I must give you great praise for the Stock seed I had from you last year. They have turned 
j out beautiful. Please send another packet.
