Early Giant Imperial Storks 
STOCKS 
STOCKS. "Gilliflower.” A favorite annual, succeeding best 
in California during the winter season. Largely grown 
for cut flowers, lasting a long time in water. Very effec¬ 
tive for planting in beds or borders. To obtain the best 
results the seeds should be sown in August, September, or 
early part of October, in seed boxes of rather light soils, 
and afterwards transplanted to the open ground. In trans¬ 
planting stocks care should be taken to save the small or 
weak growing plants, as these generally produce double 
flowers, while the strong, robust growing seedlings often 
come single.
