Stocks • Gilliflower 
One of the most famous garden annuals, 
and deliciously fragrant. Many races have 
been evolved so that many different types 
exist. They should be started early, 
grown without check, and heavily fertil¬ 
ized for best effects. 
6658 Breck’s Apricot Beauty. Undoubt¬ 
edly this is the finest Stock which was 
ever introduced to American gardens. 
Plants grow quickly, come into bloom 
early, and continue to flower without 
cessation until cut down by a hard 
freeze. The flowers are double, of deli¬ 
cate apricot-pink and cream, a most 
attractive and exquisite shade. So few 
singles are produced that the seed may 
be said to be 100 per cent double. Un¬ 
surpassed for cutting and garden decora¬ 
tion. See color plate. Pkt. 50c.
