STOCKS □ 
(Sometimes called Gilliflower) 
(Normal germination, 3-10 days) 
These are half-hardy annuals, beautiful, fragrant 
old-fashioned double flowers. Sow under glass or 
on warm border early in Spring, transplant to 
rich ground to which lime has been added. 
As only single Stocks produce seeds, no double 
strain can be had without a percentage of single 
flowers. Hot weather is responsible for the 
blind-growth which often disappoints outdoor 
growers of this crop, and they thrive best where 
the nights are cool. Our strain is remarkably 
well doubled. Stocks are native in Southern 
Europe and Southern California.
