require it, and they will flower early in Spring. 
The Annual or Ten-week stocks will flower the 
same Summer the seed is sown, and only require the 
treatment of hardy annuals. In saving their seed, 
select it from such plants as are of stout growth, and 
the flowers of fine color. 
The greenhouse shrubby kinds, such as the night 
scented stock, will thrive in any rich sandy soil, and 
cuttings will root readily if planted in a pot of soil, 
and covered with a bell-glass.
