For a Fragrant and Beautiful Annual Garden , Plant Giant Imperial Stocks 
STOCKS 
ANNUAL 
These fragrant flowers are of such great 
beauty that they deserve a place in every 
garden. 
The Early Giant Imperial class are half- 
hardy annuals. Beauty Stocks are biennials 
but if sown in early spring will bloorn the 
same year. They are also valuable for winter 
forcing.

Early" or Winter-Flowering Sweet Peas 
Popular as greenhouse subjects, they may be sown also in the garden in spring for earli¬ 
est bloom outdoors. They are particularly adapted to sections where the Summer-flowering 
Spencer varieties have not proved satisfactory. In our southern states, if sown during the 
early fall months, they will produce flowers during the winter and continue until killed by 
the heat of summer. This is a distinct advantage over the regular Spencer Sweet Peas 
which, if sown at the same time, will not begin flowering until April.
