902. H.H.A. Stock, Cannells’ Giant Winter Blooming— A white 
Winter-flowering variety, which has always been in the forefront in Covent 
Garden Market. It matures with greater certainty, and in finer form, than 
any other grown. Its spikes, both central and lateral, surpass all 
competitors. It has come with the grower 90 per cent, doable, and its 
pnre white flowers are invaluable from Christmas to Easter. The grower 
writes of it as follows : — “ It is a cross between the ordinary Intermediate 
and East Lothian White. If sown in May in a cool frame and pricked off 
in small pots in a north pit, or outdoors in a shady place, it can be 
gradually forced into bloom by Christmas ; or sown in July it will bloom at 
Easter, if brought into a cool house and kept at 40 to 46 degrees. It 
does best on a cool bottom, and requires plenty of air.” Is. 6<f. per pkt.

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 heds. 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.
