GIANT PERFECTION STOCKS. 
The Gilliflowers of our grandmothers’ time are 
aardly recognized in the showy Ten Weeks

proved. The Giant Pertection is a beautiful

enormous flowers in white, old pink, mauve red, 
S urple, blush, etc. The plants are much 
ranched, each bearing several long, pyramidal 
spikes, crowded with their fragrant blossoms. 
Give them good soil and they will prove 
abundantly satisfactory. From 80 to 90 per 
cent will come double. Annual. feet. Pkt.,

SNOWFLAKE STOCKS. 
, A superb, lar^e-flowered variety, bear¬ 
ing snowy white flowers, splendid for 
cutting and the best for potting. The 
flowers are very double and crowded to¬ 
gether in a compact spike and bloom 
from early spring to late fall, and the 
plant is much branched, thus affording 
plenty of cut flowers. It is listed by some 
seedsmen as the “Princess Alice,” or the 
“Cut-and-Come-Again” Stock, the lntter 
name arising from the fact that the more 
the blossoms are cut the better the plant 
seems to thrive. Sown late in the season, 
it makes a fine plant for winter bloom¬ 
ing. Pkt., 5 cts. 
Snowflake Stocks. 
SWAINSONIA ALBA. 
A very pretty greenhouse plant, gener¬ 
ally sold only by the florist, but it may be 
secured also from seed. It may be 
trained as a vine, or kept in bush form 
by pinching back. The foliage is slen¬ 
der and fern-like, and the blossom a 
pure milk-white, like a miniature sweet 
pen, but borne in long clusters of 15 to 25 
in a bunch. It is almost never without 
flowers. Perennial. Pkt., 8 cts. 
DWARF GERMAN STOCKS. 
This is an extra fine strain of large-

the desirable shades. Annual. Mixed.
