STOCKS 
Gilliflower—The Stock is 
one of the most popular an¬ 
nuals, either for bedding or 
pot culture; for brilliancy 
and diversity of color, fra¬ 
grance, profusion, and dura¬ 
tion of bloom it is unsur¬ 
passed. 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 trans¬ 
ferred to the open ground 
in May or June.
