This is one of the “ oldest inhabitants ” of England, presumably indigenous ; the 
greatest pains have been taken in its development. The under-mentioned 
are mainly home-cultured, and can be confidently recommended as of the 
highest class. German Assortments, see page 41. 
Mathiola simplicicaulis, a true son of Britain, being sturdy, hardy, and bold in 
growth ; the original species was a somewhat striking plant reaching some- 
times to a height of 3 feet, a vigorous stem, fibrous, and in some cases woody. 
The Brompton Stock is really a Biennial, and succeeds best if sown in cool 
situations in June, July, or later, the young plants removed to stove beds 
and finally transplan ed where they are intended to bloom. Nos. 1332 to 1336 
are the best sorts, good distinct colours, good proportion of double flowers... 
Mathiola annua hybrid 1. There is some uncertainty as to the real character of this 
splendid Stock ; the best ascertained view is that it is the result of crossing 
the Intermediate with the Brompton. In any rase the blooms are of excellent 
colour, large, double, and profuse, and the habit of the plant is good ; succeeds 
best when Autumn-sown a first-class plant ... •• 
Mathiola ini Uriah's, half-hardy Perennial ; if well grown, will produce immense 
trusses; Spring and Summer decorative plant. No. 134 2 brilliant colour... 
Mathiola annua dendflora. The kind to which our Teutonic neighbours have 
devoted so much attention, and its general features may be thus described ; 
habit dwarf, compact, and branching below, and the inflorescence consists 
of a longer central spike and shorter lateral ones ; the colours here offered 
have been specially selected for their quality and distinctness, and cannot fail 
to produce the greater proportion of double flowers. For general pot 
purposes these dwarf varieties are specially adapted 
Improved cultivated dwarf var., with increased size of bloom, splendid mixture...
