FRAGRANT STOCKS ... Gilli Flower 
Plant seed from August through November for Winter and Spring flowers. Seed germinates in 5 to 10 days. 
If you were to have but one flower in your garden we would recommend Stocks, for it seems to be well nigh indispensable. They have the 
color, beauty of individual flower, as well as the flower stalk as a whole, besides a wonderful fragrance that few other flowers can equal. Our 
strain of Sun Ripened Seeds will give you enormous pyramids of double-blossoms so thickly set that they over-lap, and they will produce a 
very high percentage of double flowers. 
Many exaggerated claims as to the percentage of double flowers in Stocks has led amateur gardeners to think that all of theeir Stocks 
would be double. Double Stocks are not seed producing flowers, they are really freaks, the singles only reproduce seeds. Strains producing a 
high percentage of doubles are the result of plant selection. 
To have a bed of all double stocks we suggest that you sow seed thickly in open ground, if plants are started in the cold frame, set out 
young seedlings very close together, then thin out all tne singles when plants flowers, leaving only the doubles. You will have a glorious 
bed of double Stocks.
