STOCKS 
Gilliflower—The Stock is one of the most popular 
annuals, either for bedding or pot culture; for bril¬ 
liancy and diversity of color, fragrance, profusion, and 
duration of bloom it is unsurpassed. Start the seed in 
February and March, and as soon as the plants have 
their second pair of leaves, prick out into shallow 
boxes and in about four weeks the plants will be ready 
to pot; from which they should be transferred to the 
open ground in May or June.

the branching habit renders them invaluable for 
florists.

SWEET PEAS 
GIANT SPENCER 
Too many varieties of Sweet Peas. It has always 
been a puzzling question to small growers, who, de¬ 
siring to grow only a limited number of sorts, with 
as great an assortment as possible, are sometimes 
rather disappointed because some of the varieties are 
so nearly alike. 
It will be realized that exhibitors and other keen 
growers are influenced by delicate shadings of color, 
by difference in form, by the way the blooms are placed 
on the stem, and so forth. We, therefore, keep a 
sufficiently wide range of varieties to suit these tastes, 
although, to the casual eye many of them are very 
much alike. We have made up our list of varieties, 
which, we believe, will answer all purposes. 
Culture—Early planting is advised so that they may 
bloom before very hot weather. Dig the soil deeply 
to allow deep rooting. Open a trench four to six 
inches deep, in which plant the seeds early in February 
and cover with an inch of soil and press it firmly. 
When up about two inches begin cultivating and grad¬ 
ually fill the trench until it is level. Do not allow the 
roots to become too dry ; water at least twice a week. 
Be sure to gather the blooms, otherwise the vines will 
stop flowering. 
Fall Planting—Sweet peas may also be started in 
October, November and December, planting four to six 
inches deep ; give them slight protection and they will 
become well rooted and grow off at the first opening 
of spring and produce an abundance of blooms earlier 
and for a longer season than spring plantings. 
Gather sweet pea blooms frequently; the more you 
cut them the better and longer they bloom.
