6 Larger-growing species, large heads of violet-blue flowers, treated as an Everlasting 
6 Hardy Perennial, delicate sprays of lavender blossom covering the plant like a cloud 
0 Free-flowering hardy Perennial, one of the best for bouquet purposes ; colour blue 
6 Mathiola simplieicaulis. A sturdy, hardy, strong-growing biennial, indigenous to Great Britain, 
6 sometimes becoming perennial and woody. Succeeds best if sown in June, July, or later, the young 
6 plants removed to slow beds, and finally transplanted where they are intended to bloom. The 
6 different colours are distinct, and they produce a fair proportion of double flowers ... - 
0 Mathiola annua hybrida. This is a splendid Stock of the Intermediate type, probably a cross 
0 with the Brompton ; it has the reputation of producing the finest truss of bloom of any stock, it 
0 is really a first-class flower when well grown ; the habit is bushy and neat, colours of the flowers 
0 brilliant and distinct ; succeeds best Autumn sown 
6 Mathiola imperialls, half-hardy Perennial, should be sown in the Summer or Autumn 
0 One of the handsomest white Stocks grown, neat foliage and habit 
6 Mathiola annua densiflora. This is known best as the dwarf Ten-week , and has now reached its 
6 acme for colour, habit, profuseness, and doubleness of bloom, which we think cannot be exceeded. The 
inflorescence consists of a longer central spike and short lateral ones ; the colours here offered have 
been specially selected for their brilliance and distinctness; the plants revel in old lime-rubbish, 
and if grown in pots they should be well drained ; altogether a most useful class. For German 
Assortments. See page 98 
1 0 Improved variety of the preceding in the larger size of the blossom. See Illustration, page 98 ... 
1 0 A colour (primrose) long sought for among Stocks ; a fine double flower, and distinct novelty ... 
1/0 & 2/6 Magnificent white perennial stock ; treat as the Brompton varieties ; most excellent 
1 0 Mathiola annua intermedia. The result of a cross between the Ten- week and the Brompton, and 
10 a universal favourite among market gardeners. Grown in a frame with plenty of lime-rubbish they 
1 0 can be potted off as occasion requires ; colour and habit unexceptionable 
I/- & 2 6 The universally admired Market variety ; the perfection of an Intermediate White Stock. See p. 100 
-13 & -/6 Mathiola annua. The kind alluded to by old writers as the Gillyflower, an inseparable feature from the 
-/3 & -/6 rustic annals of England. The ancient sort was single and sweet-scented, the varieties here offered 
-/3 & -/6 produce a goodly proportion of double flowers, whilst still retaining the delicious odour. Our strain 
-13 & -/6 is the best obtainable, suitable for pots or borders 
- 6 Mathiola ineana, hardy Perennial species, best kind for growing in exposed situations ; dwarf habit, 
- 6 with numbers of lateral flowers ; the white variety is a universal favourite ... ... .. 
- 6 Mathiola glabrata, resembles the Ten-week, with glabrous foliage; Annual 
- 6 Hardy Annual ; a dwarf creeping plant for low walls, pots, rockeries, etc. ; pretty 
1/6 & 2/6 Greenhouse bulbous Perennial, a fine race of plants, various shades of white, blue, and rose. See p. 100 
-/6 & 1/- Annual variety, esteemed for purity of colour and elegantly-shaped flower. See page 70 
- 6 Double-flowered variety, forms a grand feature in backgrounds and shrubberies 
- 3 The old-fashioned dwarf garden variety, useful for mixed borders and shrubberies 
- 6 Largest single-flowered kind, rapid grower, and effective plant in large gardens 
-/ 6 & 1/- An elegant nosegay Sunflower, with bright yellow petals, dark centre. Invaluable for room decoration ... 
1/- & 2/6 Fine plant for shrubberies, excellent for cutting and of great general utility ... 
1/- At present the most profuse bloomer of what may be called the nosegay varieties. See page 97 
- 6 Remarkable from the golden variegation of the foliage ; a single-flowered variety 
- 3 The old garden kind, grows anywhere and everywhere, seed used as Poultry food 
-/3 & -/6 White hardy Annual, of great use in mixed borders, perpetual bloomer 
- 6 Eglantine; most delicately perfumed'of all flowering Shrubs ; hardy Perennial, for hedges, etc. 
- 3 LathyPUS odoratus. The well-known climber for trellis, hedges, etc. 
1/- & 2/6 Contains upwards of 50 of the newest and best colours ; a grand mixture. See page 99 
- 3 Originally known as the dark Sweet Pea; good useful kind for general purposes 
1 0 One of the first of the White Sweet Peas, bold flower, good substance 
1 0 Colour deep maroon, fine large bloom, and an effective contrast 
-/6 & 1/- Bright and cheerful, standards and wings French grey edged with blue 
1 0 Perhaps the brightest and most effective of the decidedly blue kinds ; fine flower 
1 0 Robust growing variety, colour crimson scarlet ; a brilliant profuse bloomer 
1 0 Unique ; peculiar shade of mauve, varying at times to delicate light blue 
1/- & 1/6 Striking novelty : pigmy growing variety with large white blossoms ; pot plant.
